A mighty woman that allows God to use her for his glory

This was an extremely inspiring book. Pastor Caesar is beyond what you could imagine from a true woman of God. Her book makes you laugh,it makes you cry and above all makes you love her even more. She was transparent and shared her life with you allowing you to come in and be close to her. She is a woman of much wisdom and full of love for her fellow man but above all for God and her beloved mama.This book moved me so until I finished it in two sittings. It was powerful and let you see a real lady of God. I'm so happy that living during this age allowed me to experience Shirley and she is truly a grand lady, yet so real almost like you could reach out and touch her. She draws you into her family so much so until you could almost see yourself at her home for dinner.The book is a must read, you must own it to read and let Pastor Caesar know you love her by supporting her. God let her stay around a little longer.

Spiritual, Powerful, and a Blessing

I'm currently researching my family history that shares the same last name as Shirley Caesar. Our last name is spelled Ceasar/Caezer. In search of tracing my ancestors I pick up this book to read to get an understanding of our family roots and to see possible if we are related. Being a Christian as well, I also picked up the book to read a blessing. A blessing indeed is what I found. Shirley Caesar's story bought tears to my eyes, a smile on my face and laughter in my heart. It also bought about ministry in a part of my life that I am in of need right now. Her life is truly a testimony, a solider of the cross, and definitely a witness of the Lord. As a young person, Shirley is a Christian that I pray I will become like someday. She is my hero. This book will make you feel the Holy Spirit, see miracles, and hear His word. Of all the things in this book, I've learned to never run from His calling, His anointing, and obeying His word. Thank you Shirley Caesar for testifying and being a servant for the Lord. May God continue to Bless you.

Inspiration at it's very best.

This warm, emotional book details the life of the legendary, "First Lady of Gospel Music" Shirley Caesar. This book shows how God still moves and works in peoples lives when everything seems to be going against them.
