Book Cover & Preview Text
"Somewhere along the way I discovered that my ultimate enemy was "Death" and I, like so many others, greatly feared him and his conse-quences. Although I knew of this all too real and terrible enemy, I foolishly thought I could evade him and continue on the path I was going in life. But, like Wonder Woman, my best friend Grace knew that I was no match for my enemy and swooped down and came to my rescue just in the nick of time to deliver me from Death's grip. She was there the entire time watching over me as I was navigating down the wrong path in life, headed for Death's trap. I was destined to fall into an eternal abyss of pain and torment, never to find rest. Oh, how grateful and thankful I am that Grace saw what I could not see! She knew that in my own power and strength that I was no match for this powerful enemy called Death."

My Best Friend's Name Is Grace is a personal synopsis of how the author managed to accomplish all that she has in life, in spite of her beginnings and the assignment she has been given. While truthful in scope and content, the book is written from an allegorical viewpoint, as it personifies and identifies God's Grace as being the essential ingredient for success and victory in life. Compact and simply written, the book is compelling and profound in its revelation of the person, presence, purpose, and power of Grace in the lives of ordinary individuals.
