An Excerpt of My book Predestined Love
She could feel a love growing inside her each time she was around one of the kids at the orphanage, especially the babies, and it made her wonder if she would make a good mother. She placed the small dish now empty on the seat she sat on, and held the baby up and stared at her. Maria kissed the baby on her cheek and wiggled her nose against the baby’s trying to make her laugh.
The baby chuckled, and Maria laughed, lost in the moment. She did not hear when Franco, Signore Sarricuso’s son sneaked up behind her. “Hello Bella,” he whispered near her ear, almost startling her. They had met before, when Signore Sarricuso had asked him to deliver a package to the orphanage a few weeks after she had arrived in Italy. He had acted like a gentleman at the time, and he liked her. She had gone out to dinner with him a few times, but after a few dates, he tried to force himself on her.
Maria refused him, and Franco told her she would not find anyone better than him. News had reached him that she had been seeing someone.
“These are for you,” he continued as he stretched flowers to her when he joined her on the seat she sat on. “I have missed you a lot Maria. I am so sorry for the way I had treated you. Your beauty had me so captivated I could not help myself. Forgive me, please. Let me make it up to you by taking you to dinner tonight.”
Maria stared at him while he spoke. She felt disgust towards him, but she had to remind herself that the Bible says, ‘God is Love’, and for her to let others see that she was a child of God, she had to love her enemies as the Bible also says and do good for those who used her without remorse. But it was easier said than done.

An Excerpt from- The Path of the Chosen Warriors
Her eyes widened as she felt his hand on her throat. She grabbed his hand to free herself as she started to feel her breath diminishing. He forced her to stand as he got to his feet. Suddenly Joshua noticed she wasn’t near him and turned to see her being choked by the High Priest.
As he rushed towards him to free her, he was grabbed by the free hand of the High Priest and thrown back into the crowd, getting their attention now. They all gasped as they realized that it was no longer the High Priest but Abaddon himself. He so damn strong,” Joshua said to himself as he was helped up to his feet by someone.
As Abaddon walked more towards them, they stepped back as the sight of him was nothing they had ever seen before. Even though they saw the blackness in his eyes and felt the evil within him, they remembered the God that just saved them and they held their faith.
“Abaddon we aren’t afraid of you; our God told us that we have power over all rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in the high places. Therefore we command you to release her and be consumed by fire,” a few shouted at him and then was joined by the rest.
They kept on calling on the fire of God to consume him and as they did the High Priest started screaming at them in the creepiest voice that made Ruth shiver. But even as she could feel breath leaving her slowly, she saw only the High Priest and tried to reach him.
“Fight him, resist him, command him to leave you in the Name of Jesus,” and at that name, she saw the switch from demon and man and back to demon and the look she got from the demon this time was deadly.
He began to squeeze her neck harder, giving her little air to breathe but just enough for her to say, “The Blood of Jesus is against you Abaddon,” and with hearing that he violently threw her into the air and she landed in the river.
The people grew fiercer towards him and began to shout at him to be consumed by fire which started to burn at him causing him to scream violently, throwing the High Priest’s body to the ground. They then commanded him to loose him and die until the body of the High Priest was left motionless on the ground.
