Book Cover & Preview Text
When those who have hatred towards you simply because you have gained a certain measure of success and have only shown them the love you have for them in God, revile you and persecute you, shake the dust off and continue to strive towards the mark of the high calling where with you were called. I admonish you not to turn back or give up. Don’t give in because you have been misused and abused on times side of life. If you believe in the light no amount of darkness can break your spirit. No amount of darkness can keep you from basking in the light.
Yeah, darkness can trap you, set you up, hurt you, set you back and push you up against the robes but you keep weaving and bobbin. Just keep on swinging and jabbing, and then when you've had just about all you can stand call on the light and watch him give you the strength to throw that upper cut. The darkness is a contender but definitely no match for the light. At times it may seem like the proponents of darkness have the upper hand but somewhere I read that on that third day the tomb was empty.
If you still believe in the light believe all that he has done, can do, is doing and will do to help you make your calling and election sure. Stop doubting your ability to persevere over the situations and circumstances beyond your control which were perpetrated against you falsely because of a dark heart. Continue to walk in the light. Refresh yourself on the essence, beauty, splendor and awesome power of the light. Re-read all scriptures pertaining to the light and see won’t that light brightly order your steps and guide you through the maze of confusion brought on by darkness. Learn how, when, where and why you should shine your light. Know that darkness can’t comprehend light. It is a spiritual weapon that every well-armed Christian should have in their arsenal.

About the Author
Corrie J. Reed is an educator, having earned her MEd from Marygrove College and a BA in communications from the University of Detroit–Mercy. When Corrie was in eighth grade, her English teacher, Mrs. McDuffie, admonished her via letter (written in pink ink) to never stop writing. According to McDuffie, Corrie had a gift. She began writing poetry and then song lyrics. Using these genres to express herself, she began to write short essays of inspiration after being baptized. Knowing that she had a personal story to tell, she wrote her first book, Expressions of Life by Daughters of the King, to motivate women in overcoming life’s challenges specific to them. The Truth Box, another compilation of short essays, expresses her thoughts and gives practical spiritual lessons on different happenings in her life and on things that affect all our lives. Corrie resides in Detroit, Michigan, and enjoys singing, bowling, family and friends.
