Chantel is learning to become a woman of God. She's given up the majority of worldly values and taking her walk with Christ seriously. However, she's in danger. This danger can cause her her life, her beliefs, and her spiritual values. Satan is attacking her from all sides but her trials and tribulations will test her faith in God.
A goid storyline. The plot stays on focus and you can picture everything that's happening as you read. Unfortunately, the punctuation, homonyms, and grammatical errors disrupted the flow of the story. These constant errors caused me to read the sentence more than once to understant what was being expressed.

This was a good story even though there were several typos. I am looking forward to reading more by this author.

I enjoyed this book, few editing issues. The errors did not take away from the story. My heart went out to Chantel. Thank God for being in the blessing business. I enjoyed the poems.

Excellent messages
The author journaled a great tale of a young woman's victory over her life through a true relationship with God. Chantel learned to live the Word despite, or because of, her lonely life. She worked hard for God and led others to Christ by example. This book gave me chills and I vowed to do more in my Christian walk. The story ended rather abruptly and I would love to read about the next phase of Chantel's life and the church she attended. It was a difficult read due to all the errors. I hated to rate this book only 3 stars, but I just couldn't ignore the lack of editing. The author has an education degree, so I expected a much better written book. I almost gave up a couple of times but the story was so compelling. This story needs to be read - it is truly encouraging. I wanted to give this book 5 stars for content alone, but it needs serious editing.

LOGOS & RHEMA
Girl, you better get this over to Pure Flix, Net Flix, Hulu and continue in your writing being so touched by God. You poems remind me of my Sisters In Christ my SIC's on Facebook called LOOP. Same style, God gives her the Words as if He is talking to me directly. I made a journal out of those poems. You almost told my life. I pray the ending is even better for me. Thank you God for using this lady and Your Word to guide us. This book is a PHENOMENAL one day read. It helped me great with understanding God better. The poems will be a part of my journal and my spirit always. 🙏

OMG! This book had me praising God, Crying and speaking in tongues I just couldn't put it down. Now I'm up to book 2 the beginning of the book makes you want to pray and keep on praising God. This book to me teaches those who don't know and never experience God on a personal level to go and try and see what the end is going to be. I encourage all to pick this up along with your bible and read, read, read, The Lord will surely bless your mind, body, soul and spirit.

Amazing and refreshing to my soul
This story brought out every emotion available from laughing lozernz and his special self. From sadness of watching these ladies go through the life struggles to excitement of seeing their is greater around the corner if you just continue to seek God first. Can’t wait to see what this author has in store next.

Truly a great Read for any believer
This book was great. A true reflection of Christianity and how Christians ought to live. Clean story, the only reason I did not give this book 5 stars is because it had so many grammatical errors. Outside of that the book was really a good read. Good job by the author.

Good story
This book had an awesome storyline and the plus of it being a Christian read made it better BUT all of the grammatical errors took away from the story in a big way! At some points I couldn't even comprehend what was going on. Having numerous proof readers could help out greatly. But great read and good luck in the future!

Worth the read
The only reason I gave this book a 4 is because of the misspelled words,other than that it's a 5 in my book list looking forward to part 2. Ladies remove yourself from abusive relationships not worth it. Couldn't understand why Chantel allowed this, but sometimes we as women do. The poems was great. READ you will enjoy.

Great topic! Loved it!!!
I really loved reading this book and the storyline is great. Not many people would be willing to speak of this topic, apt O really appreciate the in depth look on Christian faith and love. I did however have an issue with the spelling and grammar issues. Please keep writing and I cannot wait to read you other work.
Peace & Blessings

A good thing
This was an okay read for me. It started off good but somewhere towards the end the book lost me and I found that the story started to end. There were quite a few editing issues that took away from the story to me. I like Christian fiction, but this one may have been a little too preachy for me.

This book had all the feels. I laughed, cried, empathized and realized. Ms. She Nell is the real deal. This book did not hint at God, God was on full display. The characters and plot were well developed. The story was fast paced and God paced. I can't wait to start the next book in the series. Keep letting God use you for His glory!

Even though I enjoyed this book it is horribly edited, why? It started fine but towards the end it was almost unreadable
Not sure if I want to read part 2 and waste money on a terribly edited book. It's a shame though, the story is actually good! Smh......

Very uplifting read. Definitely blessed me to read it. I can only imagine what is coming up next. A few grammatical errors but not enough to take from the story.

What a blessing! I couldn't put this book down. It was anointed encouraging, healing, convicting, but most of a true testimony of the love God has for me.

I rated this story a 3 because the typos overrode and it was confusing trying to figure out what was happening.

What is for you
Waiting on God is a faith test. Loving God is a blanket of protection when trouble comes. You will be tested. Be steadfast.

Although there were many grammatical errors and misspellings, this is a decent read. The ending leaves you wanting to know more. I’m glad there is a second part.
