Book Cover & Preview Text
As I sat down, I tried to understand how I had gotten to this place in my life and was in awe of everything that I could remember had transpired. Twists and turns is an everyday walk in life. But I knew that there had to be more. I tried to understand how I could pen these words on paper with ease and not be frustrated by a lack of words as my spirit continuously churned, I thought about the 7:00 a.m. prayers in the house of God where I got a sense that something was about to take place.

About the Book
Blood In The Street is a journey God took me on. As I began to read His word, I was amazed of where I was going with this title. Through much research I found that our young men are killing each other off on a daily basis. Not only that, innocent bystanders look in disbelief. When you think about the title and you read these pages you will understand what is and has happened. Our churches must become proactive in the fight against these acts of violence through the power of prayer.
About the Author
I am a person who thinks hard about a topic. I will ponder on it until I get clarity. When I am studying the word of God, I always have to walk away and think about what I have read and how it applies today. When I begin to think about the words I have read, I am compelled to write a certain thought in regards to what is mulling around. I will scratch notes on small pieces of paper and place them in my purse. Sometimes my purse is filled with those thoughts I had throughout the day, I will begin to put the pieces together to see what God has given me. As a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, there is so much to learn if we would just listen. The more I listen to His voice, the more information I can obtain. That's just how I write. In the book of Habakkuk 2:2-3, it is written: "Write the vision, and make it plain upon the tablets, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time,but in the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." That's what I have done to the best of my ability. I am an ordained Elder and worship at New Hope Memorial Baptist Church located in Elizabeth. Here is where I receive my strength. I am part of the flag ministry called "Warriors for Christ." I am also a legal secretary and work for the Law Firm of Kiernan & Strenk, Esq., located in the town of Morristown, New Jersey. On a personal note I have three adult children and one grandchild and a wonderful husband. They have to listen to all those small pieces of papers I write on. In essence, I am just who God created me to be. Elder Kim I. Dixon
