by Lekevie Johnson, Alyssa M. Curry (Editor), Aaron Lamont Curry (Photographer)

Do you want to understand and reconcile your relationship with God, your spouse, family, friends, colleagues, and yourself? If so, you will find the answers by looking within. Looking Why We Don’t Say No But Should reveals how and why our choices set us up for success or failure, beginning with the critical choices Adam and Eve made that altered their path and that of mankind. The son of a preacher, Lekevie Johnson shares a relatable story of his struggles, pain, hurt, betrayal, and the anger of his childhood that threatened to destroy his relationship with God until he did a self-examination and realized his choices and consequences started with him. Now, Pastor Lekevie Johnson shares 9 critical steps to help you stay the course to your destiny despite adverse challenges working to pull you off course.

Looking Within will help put you back on the right track in your relationship with God, family and most importantly yourself. Looking Within is filled with the issues of life that we all face at some point in our lives. The book is a great
teaching tool that can be kept in your collection of books to revert back to and remember that God gives us choices and we can be secure in the knowledge of God. The funny stories and the moral upbringing of the author will enlighten you on how important our past is. Finally the book ends by giving the reader hope and peace within knowing that God never leaves us and that we can do all things through Christ even saying no when we should.

We want to blame others but have we really examined our behaviors and contributions to the outcome of our life? Lekevie Johnson does a masterful job at connecting our decisions, outcomes, and who is truly responsible—in any situation. I love that as a pastor, he began with his life and decisions as an example. Heartfelt, significant lessons. I recommend this book to anyone looking for why negative things keep happening and how to change that outcome.

Lekevie Johnson did his work, and shares with us in (9) chapters what it looked like for him. As with everything, he starts at the beginning with Adam & Eve. This excellent, fast read has everything within for a awesome play or movie. Scandal, hurt, victory,love,church, singing & lessons learned. Great Book! #TylerPerry

Lekevie Johnson writes from a place of honesty and passion. His narrative, taking us from a scared kid in Mississippi to a hungry young Marine to a reluctant pastor, weaves wisdom and truth in a unique and encouraging way. I would recommend this book to any person looking for perspective, encouragement, or hope.

This book is amazing! The author is very vulnerable and authentic. I recommend that anyone with any life challenges read this book to gain the knowledge of Looking Within as opposed to placing the blame on someone else.
