Like many, after praying and not getting a response, I thought it was up to me to find the solutions and answers to struggles I encountered.

Growing Through the Storm is a story of triumphs and lessons learned while trying to find solutions to unwanted circumstances during not one but two troubled marriages. 

One with God, in its simplest description, is a self-help book designed to help one along on their own spiritual path to finding a more complete and satisfying relationship with God.
