Messages of Encouragement has sixteen individual messages, one for every reader. It encourages, support, and teaches the Bible on a level everyone can understand. This book incorporates stories from the Bible and shows the connection with today's problems/issues. The Bible truly is made simple to comprehend. This book gives you the freedom and courage to open up about your problems.

The Bible says, Christians all around the world are going through the same sufferings. So know that you are never alone. You must know who you are before you are. Answering questions on why you are more down than up. Searching for a peace that only Christ can give. If you must think about a particular place or situation to bring relaxation and peace, this means you are not in peace.

This is the world's description of peace. You may be wondering if you are supposed to be here. I too once had this same thought and contemplated suicide. Christ did not judge me; he intervened and save me. This book is not to judge nor condemn you but to help you. Confused as to how do you find the good in a bad and hopeless situation? I do not have all the answers, but I know a God who does. When we discount people, we lessen their value. We are saying they are less than what Christ created them to be, or what we perceive, or others say they are. The world has a favorite saying, "It is what it is." The Holy Spirit says otherwise, "No it is not what it is, it is what the word of God says it is. And if it is not in the word, you need to leave it alone."

At night, many of you may have the same or similar problem that I do. When you lie down to sleep, you have a pillow, bed, and all the comforts of home. I would think about all the people that depend on me daily and all the tragedies I would see on TV. With all the burdens, anxieties, and stresses of the day, I would find myself saying, "Lord, I have no place to lay my head." Does this sound familiar? I have a home, yet I was homeless in the mind. Burdens and stresses will weigh you down and drain your energy. Learn how to relinquish control to Christ.

Selling Christ was a very difficult and dangerous job in the Bible. It kept the Apostle Paul on the run and in fear for his life. Many Christians are finding out it is still difficult on today. It will get you hated, talked about, lied upon. You may be called a child of the Most High God. But I can guarantee you, it will get you called some other names by Christians you did not expect. This, too, I have had to experience firsthand. Many Christians I have talked with wants to give up on life and quit. Messages of Encouragement gives you hope to keep going until you receive your breakthrough. You will see history consistently repeating itself.
