ChosenThis book of testimonies is a compilation of my real-life experiences. I share these personal stories hoping they will inspire and encourage those who may be experiencing extreme adversity. It is a recommended read for both Christians and non-Christians. You will see how having faith the size of a mustard seed can grow and cement your relationship with God. More significantly, you will see up close what happens when God is at work and when He blesses even the most undeserving person with grace and mercy. Some testimonies are of situations that could have had dire consequences. However, God intervenes, intercede, and interrupted even some of the most deadly and emotionally crushing conditions. God Bless You as you read.
