Everyone has a story to tell

This book just confirmed to me that everyone has a story to tell. That story you may wish or may not wish to tell may mean the difference between someone's freedom or bondage or even the difference between life and death. What was so compelling about the stories was the fact each and every story was uniquely different, yet were equally powerful. I was so moved by this book that I could hardly put it down. I've been recently diagnosed with Lipo-sarcoma cancer. I am not worried or fearful because I know what God can do. God showed up many times in my life when I knew Him and when I didn't want to know Him. I can think of many times when He stepped in at the right moment and saved me from an impending disaster. I witnessed God's grace up close and personal two years ago when my wife suffered from two ruptured aneurysms resulting in two separate brain surgeries. I was quickly swept into the role of full-time caregiver and single dad. It was one of the most enduring times of my life and one of the lonliest times of my life, but I leaned on God throughout the whole time and He brought us all through. My wife's faith and unwavering trust in God has helped me get through this period in my life. Many people fall apart when they get the news that they have Cancer. I am not angry or upset. I often wonder if I am normal to feel this way. I realize that it is the power of God that is sustaining me, just like all the others in the book. Hats off to Linda Watkins for a fabulous work. I hope that I can possibly contribute to the next volume. I tell my stories all the time unashamedly. You never know that person you run into might just be the person God intended for you to run into that day to save their life.

Great Work

This book is an excellent read it shows hope, courage and compassion. It has ministered to my very soul. Thank you especially The Miracle Baby.

Faith re-evidenced

This volume has an impact as important as Norman Vincent Peale. God Just Showed Up,inspired me to send a Linda Watkins book to each household of my family. Not to celebrate a special day butthe joy and blessings of our interconnectedness,finally in praise of being a part of the larger community on this small planet; the renewal of my faith in the omniscience under which we all of us reside.

God Just Showed Up

I recently completed this God inspired book and found it to be fulfilling and touching. It allowed me to see how God revealed Himself to my African-American brothers and sisters, and confirms my understanding of His grace and mercy. He is a God that touches all races, nationalities, ages etc., but this book allowed me to embrace what He can do through others that are just like me. Others that share in the obstacles that we face as a race. Others that triumph over the challenges that are put before us. God showed up for me as well and I just want to acknowledge what Linda Watkins has done to place examples of His goodness before us. I recommend this book that compiles just a few of His demonstrations of love. If we but trust in God as pointed out in so many of the testimonies, we would as a people and a nation be so much better off. God will show up in your life if you just be open to Him. Thank you Linda Watkins for sharing your relationship with God as well.

A New Man Through Christ by Lewis Lee

This particular segment of the book touched my heart on a personal basis. Lewis Lee is a very dear Christian brother and friend of mine. I visit with him in prison on a regular basis and we share everything with each other, especially great joy, many laughs, and, most importantly, he spends a great deal of our visits sharing his love of Jesus with me and does great works for me, too, because of his willingness to be my very much needed Christian mentor. My dear friend may be a "lifer", which some people consider as the "scum of the earth", but the Lewis I know as a friend in addition to having read this testimony of his only validates for me, once more, the most awesome power of God's ability to change anyone's lives as His almighty power did for my friend, Lewis. We all need to keep in our minds and hearts that God doesn't make junk! My friend, Lewis, is living proof of that to me! Praise God!
