The Encounter: Volume 1

By Ki'Yana Winfield

Hey, y'all... I know what you're thinking: "She's been a Christian all her life; she's got it all together." But let me tell you something, this girl has flaws. Plenty. Like, plenty.

I've known Jesus all my life, thanks to my grandmother, who made sure I met Him early. My first encounter with God happened when I was just four years old in Detroit. I didn't understand what I was feeling then, only that something powerful had entered the room. That moment planted a seed that would carry me through heartbreak, struggle, and redemption. Life didn't come easy: Marriage, motherhood, mistakes. I've seen all of it.

I prayed for my husband before I even knew what love really meant. I prayed for a son, and God delivered. I tried to do life my way, and when it fell apart, I finally learned the power of surrender.

In 2022, I gave God my full yes. No more half-living, no more halfway Christian. I stopped running, stopped hiding, and started building a real relationship with the One who had never left me.

This book isn't about perfection; it's about process. It's about finding your way back to God through obedience, grace, and love. It's about letting go of religion and stepping into relationship. Whether you've known God your whole life or you're just now feeling His tug on your heart, my story will remind you: He's not looking for perfect, He's looking for willing, because everything changes when you give God your yes.

Now, let's walk this journey down together
