Living the High Note

About the Book

This is an autobiography of the life of Mary Angela (Zagone) Allen. Every life is designed and planned by a living God. God is all Love, Truth, Light, and Goodness. He makes and provides for every child if that person will choose to surrender their life to Him. He gives everyone a measure of faith to believe in God with an added gift of choice. Each child can choose to follow the God of Truth or take over the control of their own life. Before choosing to live by believing in God and Jesus as my savior I was in chaos. I lived for the moments of fun which lasted in short bursts. Most moments without God were sad and lonely. Living for God has made my life more enjoyable, full of peace and purpose. God loves all of us and gives us gifts, talents, and abilities to bless our lives. All people must make individual choices to live for God or against Him. My hope is that my life will influence and encourage you to choose your heavenly Father and follow the savior Christ to everlasting peace and joy.

About the Author

Mary Angela Zagone was born in 1952 to a family of seven in the warm desert climate of Alamogordo, New Mexico. She graduated from high school in 1970 and earned two degrees, a Bachelor of Music Education and a Masters of Reading Education, from Eastern New Mexico University. During the early years of learning, music was the most powerful influence on her life. She had many opportunities to sing or perform, but a longing for something beyond stardom grew in her heart. Mary taught for 28 years in several towns in New Mexico, spending most of that time in Carlsbad, New Mexico. During that time, Mary’s greatest education came when she began to learn and experience what God wanted for her life. She married Kelly Allen in 1988, and they had two boys, Michael and Anthony. Her name was changed to Mary Angela Allen, but she was known as Mary. Mary was an ordinary girl who God gave a mission of encouraging God’s holy people through teaching and singing. Through the many adventures and miracles that Mary went through, a great desire was developed in her to serve her Lord Jesus. She believes that God provided miraculous help that saved her from disasters both by her own faulty actions and other accidental circumstances. Through God’s grace, Mary once drove miles with no oil in her car, and survived a snow-packed spin on a mountain road. She witness many supernatural healings and entertained angels unknowingly. But, the most incredible miracle was witnessing the changing of souls around her. Now her mission is to help all around her to understand that God truly loves them and has a wonderful plan for their lives. Through Christian friends God has taught her to teach others to say in their heart, “I believe in Jesus Christ, and he will do the rest.”
