From the pages of Neil Gaiman's multi award-winning Sandman series...Lucifer has been busy - creating a universe of his own, in fact, something that has caused ripples and attracted the attention of forces both Above and Below. Join our anti-hero as he journeys to a strange, 18th-century flavoured hell, full of intrigues and back-stabbing; as we meet a poor sinner who is raised to power through the machinations of a demoness; and as the Morningstar's creation threatens to renew a war as old as time itself...A war with Heaven...
This Book portrays the journey of a “Ms. Guided,” woman, who was raised in church, practiced religion but failed to develop a personal relationship with God. The story depicts how the lack of this vital relationship leads to unresolved childhood issues, diminished self worth, and a burning desire for wholeness and a search for unconditional love. Although this story resides in a fi ctional setting it reveals true to life, heartbreaking testimony of how a young woman makes a series of bad decisions that sends her into a downward spiral which create a deeper void in her life. Ms Guided is inspired and encouraged by the graphic testimonies of four persevering women. The women’s stories are also true stories deposited into a fi ctional setting and written in their own words. Teen pregnancy, single parenting, drug addiction, domestic violence, incarceration, suicide, and chronic illness are just a few of the things the women endure. A Sheppard (Rev. Gilbert Pickett Sr.) guides this transformation process through his support and scripture based words of wisdom. Ms. Guided undergoes a process of revelation, refl ection and change. She becomes whole, healed and demonstrates how God can take ordinary people and do extraordinary things. Through her journey, Ms. Guided develops an understanding of the Christian Development Process and comes to terms with the fact that; This Walk Ain’t Easy but Help is Along the Way.
