Living in & Trusting Christ completely was what God wanted me to do, so that He could show a dying World His Strength through my weaknesses. Having had several 'falls' in the last few years, I was becoming less able to care for myself, needing God's help to make it through the day. Laying a desperate plea in my heart to tell others of His total Care for them, if they would turn all they were & had over to Jesus, & let Him Lead them down the Right Path He made just for them. He truly did give me Songs in my darkest hours of pain & suffering.

Here it is! I am writing one and two editions of gospel poems for my book manuscript, entitled, Sister Theresas Lighthouse. I am called Sister Theresa West by my church congregation members and my close christian friends in my community. As a woman of God, I was blessed with the gift of writing gospel poems and quotes throughout my teenage and adulthood years. I have been collecting gospel poems and rap lyrics throughout the years while not only learning about Righteousness, but experiencing it and understanding the values of being a Christian, and pitfalls of getting caught up in the wrong path. Sister Theresas Lighthouse includes poems that give expressions of thanks to god, our Creator, our Father, and our lover, and also my words of expression give explanations of how wonderful it is to be obedient to God, Almighty. I write these poems as ammunition to fight against Satan who tries so much to rid us of the light of gospel truth. This time has come for me to rearrange these powerful lyrics in this book and to be read out loud or read as a rap lyric. For instance: No matter what others say, others do, Stay on, the right path, It will benefit you!!! Another poem I wrote: Im a preacher of God Most powerful stuff, Exploiting His Word, Midst the smooth, and the rough! Yes, these poems are like the lighthouse on a hill that gives directions of not only going the right way, but also knowing how to avoid the danger zones. This book of gospel verses gives light . . . .but at a wider range. Written by TWEST

Everyone goes through trying times. Yours may be a physical storm or an emotional storm. It might even be a spiritual storm. There might even be times of utter despair when you're hit with all three. But it's not the difficult situation that defines your life. It's what you do during those troubles that makes the difference. Will you remain in a state of anguish, or will you let your Savior provide you with the strength to carry on to the other side-a place of joy and delight? Journey through the storm with new author Lori Riggsby, and find your Savior from the Rain in this collection of poems that illustrate the power of God and his awesome ability to renew a broken spirit.

ICGODNU is a book that brings motivation and uplift souls by the rhythm of Holy Spirit led poetry. A true must read by MGThePoet who has really focused on connecting with his audience through healing, teaching, and spreading the gospel. A great book by far these poems come from such a real place that you don't even need to be familiar with poetry to enjoy its fruit. And I'd be re missed not to give all the credit to my savior in Jesus Christ, for blessing me and providing an avenue of which I can share my truth. When reading this book expect to receive understanding, expect to be enlightened, expect the unexpected, or like a great man once said, expect great things. ICGODNU a poetry book, beautifully written for all to enjoy. It's my job to give it but what you do with it is your choice. Be blessed.
