Healing Through and From Sarita's Pen is unique because the inspirational and motivational quotes and prayers were designed to be a blessing to others even while I was going through hurt, pain and the disappointment of divorce . As a preacher, a teacher, and a leader in my church, and I was going through this unthinkable situation. But then, God gave me Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT); "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. It was then that I changed my perspective of why he wanted me to write. The writing was not for me, it was to help others. Yet in the process of writing, I was being healed. All the trials and tribulations I was going through became less and less traumatic. While I was focusing on helping others, God handled my issues. Obedience is better than sacrifice. God told me he had a new beginning waiting for me, but I must let go of the past. He told me to not let the enemy keep me depressed and discouraged. He would not let one door close without opening another one for me. When the devil reminds me of my past, remind him of his future. I wrote almost daily, contributing to the healing of others, and being healed at the same time.

When a woman from Samaria comes to draw water at Jacob's well, Jesus, known prophetically as Shiloh, Prince of Peace, offers her an incredible gift-living water. All she has to do is ask, which, by the way, still applies today. Jesus explains that everyone who drinks from His well, even those of questionable character like her, will never be thirsty again, and the water will become a spring welling up to eternal life (NIV). In Shiloh's Well you can read all about an overflowing, abundant life that is available to all those who drink of this miraculous living water. "My prayer is that these pages will proclaim a clear, unequivocal message of eternal hope and spiritual truth pointing to the God who has sustained and blessed me my entire life. May Shiloh's Well make you smile, touch your heart, lead you humbly to the feet of Christ, enlighten your spiritual understanding, and challenge your commitment to Christian service "

That the eyes of our understanding be enlightened. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against Principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this word, against Spiritual Wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12). But God sent his son that our eyes maybe opened. That we may know for sure there is a heaven waiting for us, that you may know what a treasure you are to him. That you may know how great his powers are to change your life, and cause you to walk in his divine strength everyday.

"We look to memoirs for guidance, instruction from the lives of others, cautionary tales perhaps and, if we're lucky, inspiration. If we also get a clear view of abundant humanity, we count it as a bonus. Gifts of Sight is that kind of rare memoir. With skill, irony toward himself, and a clear and moral love of his fellow-man, Bruce Shields has written a book that is in part the account of an 'eye doctor, ' in part a meditation on the courage of his patients, and in great part a metaphor for Life itself. Gifts of Sight, meditative and Chekhovian, is already a classic as it leaves the author's pen; it should become perceived as one of the great 'quiet' American tales, in which a concerned and thoughtful doctor addresses the word vision in all its meanings." --Frank Delaney New York Times bestselling author of Ireland

There are times and places where heaven and earth collide, where the line between eternity and time grows dim, and the reality of God becomes real. There are experiences and circumstances that force our beliefs to cross over from a mundane theory and into a living reality.

This is my story. It is our story. It is His story. It is not perfect, but it is real. It is a story of my experiences with God, calling to ministry, journey of planting a church, and surviving disaster and devastation.

This book is for anyone who ever desperately wondered if God exists or if He cares. It is for honest people who have questioned Christians, been disappointed with church as usual, or simply wondered if there was more. I hope my story will inspire and challenge you to discover the wonderful treasure of authentic faith or galvanize the faith you already have.

Life is a constant battle between good and evil. Unfortunately, many are ignorant of how to fight the battles of life. Human beings operate on two levels: the spiritual world and the physical world. Unknown to many, "the spiritual controls the physical."

In life, many of the problems that a man encounters are already introduced in the spiritual realm, yet he continues to look for physical solutions to spiritual problems. God has made available to every child of God the weapons to fight spiritual battles. These include the blood of Jesus, fire of the Holy Spirit etc. However, one of the most powerful weapons available to man is the weapon of praise and worship.

This book examines the reason why we fight spiritual battles and how to win spiritual wars. It also examines the life of King Jehoshaphat and the children of Israel and how they used the weapons of praise and worship to defeat their enemies.
