The book HIS MERCY PREVIELD: MY STORY, MY MISSION, is an exceptional and timely one born of a rare but humbling deep personal spiritual experiences that lasted more than two decades of suffering, pain, sorrow, passion and agony. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me (Psalm 32:4), yet God’s mercy prevailed. In sharing the privileged and humbling journey with the Crucified Jesus, the book offers hope to all in the verge of despair, that with trust in God, most assuredly there is light at the end of the tunnel. Keeping hope live is the antidote against despair. Yes, “weeping (sorrow) may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning” (Psalm 30:5). It profoundly elucidates the fact that sometimes, our present sufferings and pains might be means God is using to purify us, prepare and equip his chosen for a future full of hope and above all for our salvation. Every condition no matter how bad it seems to appear has an expiration date and therefore, the book encourages us in all our destress, that God still holds us in his merciful hands. It very eloquently states that no matter how ugly the situations we face look, that is not all there is about them. The problems don’t tell the whole story. The uncompromising and inevitable truth remains that there will be a rainbow after the storm. Thus, “for I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jer. 29:11).

The real-life stories of five courageous African-American women of different ages, backgrounds, and experiences, trusting in God's strength and love. Each story is told to share their experiences, and to encourage and strengthen others. As current executives of Take Your Sister 2 Lunch--a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in New York City, the ladies were inspired upon creating the title of their book from the inspirational song, "Blessed Assurance," a popular spiritual hymn. Under the guidance and tutelage of the TYS2L CEO, Dr. Dianna Anderson, JD, the ladies graciously came together to tell their personal stories in the hopes of providing wisdom, encouragement, strength, and self-love to women all over the world. It was God's love and mercy that gave them the strength and courage to survive and gain wisdom from each experience. Their unique experiences reveal His genuine love, mercy, and existence in each of their lives. So now, by a common thread through their own personal stories, which were destined to be told and shared, created an even stronger bond between them. There's healing in telling your story--for you and others! Speak up, speak out...speak!

Ellen White continues her controversial interpretation of scripture when she starts to cover the kings from Solomon and ending with Malachi. Although her writings form the basis of belief in the Seventh-Day Adventists, her view of scripture was highly challenging in the day it was written and causes many people to go back and reconsider everything they have been told.
