How did the book, The Forgiving Wife come up? It was the year 2007
when the Holy Spirit prompt me to write about my story. At first, I was
reluctant and pulled back, but the spirit of God kept pressing upon me.
I finally decided to start jutting information here and there. As I
started to gather more and more memories of my early marriage each day.
I realized that I didn't have a name for the book. I then consulted God
about giving me a name for the book. Within ten minutes of me asking,
the Holy Spirit spoke quite clearly and said calmly, The Forgiving
Wife. Not putting up a fight with what I heard and felt, I continued
writing. As I gained confidence in writing my book, my marriage once
again started to spiral downhill in 2011. I then started to doubt my
book and asked what sense was it to continue? There was no way I could
finish my book. How would I end it? Not sure of which way to steer my
writing anymore, I was forced to stop writing. After taking another blow
to my marriage in October of 2015.Two years later I finally realized
that my battling marriage was far bigger than my husband and me. This
was far beyond our intellect. I realized that we were not walking this
road for ourselves but, for someone else. July 30th, 2017, I
began to consolidate all of the writing pieces into chapters. After
receiving approval from my husband to write about our personal, behind
the scenes relationship. I then had a clearer understanding as to why I
was writing this book in the first place. It was to help broken and
hurting women out there. I wanted to let the world know that Jesus is
still in the business of restoring, healing, changing and saving lives!
I'm not asking you if Jesus can do it, I'm telling you that he can! I
urge readers that if you don't have Jesus as the head of your marriage
and home, get him because you will need him! Some battles you win and
some you lose. Whatever the case may be, don't allow your marital issues
cause you to become so disoriented that you want nothing to do with life
anymore. Neither let them allow you to lose your integrity, your
dignity, nor your identity! At the end of the day, both spouses must
want the same thing. This book is intended to help both men and women. I
explained in this book that fighting for your marriage is not an easy
fight. As a matter of fact, in the book shows how difficult and
discouraging it got for me at times. I talked about how I was at my
lowest point. Where I felt like my breath was literally being snuffed
away from me, but God! It talks about how I was so confused at times; I
almost lost my mind. I do not suggest you stay in a marriage if the
situation is life threatening. This book does not talk about having a
perfect marriage. As a matter of fact, my book shows that my marriage is
still far from perfect, we must learn to accept imperfections as well.
You won't regret buying this book. The content is intriguing, the events
are interesting and engaging. And the message is authentic!
