The Apostle Peter shared in his epistle 2nd Peter that no scriptures are given by private interpretation or by man's own concept or opinion. Holy men wrote as the spirit of God moved upon them. They were led and inspired by the Holy Ghost. God's spirit is still speaking to those Holy Men and Women that have an ear to hear the voice of God!! So, as you read this book, I hope it will inspire you to still away with God and search the scriptures for an End Time's MESSAGE for this Generation.
The formation of Sister2Sister Women's Focus Group led o the creation of this self-help book entitled "The I Am In Me," a book designed to be an instrumental tool to enlighten, motivate, and encourage others to be our better selves. Filled with life-applicable scriptures and journal exercises to allow for life application and the exploration of the "I Am In Me" identified as "The God that works in you!" Many years ago, God identified himself as the "I AM." God said unto Moses, "I Am That I Am," and he said, "Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you" (Exodus 3:14). The "I Am" that sent Moses is still the same "I Am" today, challenging his chosen leaders to accompany him in freeing his people. The "I Am" represents the God in Me, the author and the finisher of our faith who inspired this book to promote self-discovery of who the "I Am" is and allow you to determine who and whose you are in God. Have you found yourself in fragmented mindsets, isolated and dark places of being? I challenge you to start a new day! Don't start another day without transparency. Choose to allow the "I Am" to work inside and through you. Read this book with the authority and the declaration of who God is inside you! Let your light so shine that they will glorify your God in heaven that lives on the inside of you!

I have compiled the 7-volume collection of the Help God Series in this book. I wrote these books to create a tool to manage our emotions as our emotions can rule our decisions, moods, and, if untamed, our entire life. Our emotions of fear, anger, hurt, loss, confusion, sadness, and loneliness can immobilize our creativity, cloud our vision, joy, direction, and most importantly, our peace. We will discuss our out-of-control emotions and how to conquer them. This book is designed to assist and support your journey to fulfill God's design and purpose for your life. My prayer is that using the information contained, including the scriptures within and my transparent testimonies, will open personal revelation to destroy the emotional roadblocks that we all encounter that frustrate our purpose so that clarity of thought and victorious living prevails.
She forgave her storms and gave them a voice in her story. - Unknown **TRIGGER WARNING** INCEST. RAPE. MOLESTATION. ABORTION. Reader discretion is advised. Read the story from the source of a 15-year-old girl, in a desperate search to locate her biological father. In her stages of discovery, Sylvia dug up a part of her life that almost led to her demise. Out of the shadows, appeared a world full of perversion, incest, concubines, lies, and deceit. The life-altering reality resulted in Sylvia being in a 7-year legal marriage with her newfound biological father. Did she lose her faith? What was the threshold of pain Sylvia weathered through before planning her escape? "When I heard Sylvia's story, my mind was blown. It honestly took me a while to process even the synopsis version of her full story that we've come to know now. I remember thinking, "You need to write a book!" I can't express how proud I am of Sylvia for publishing her story, in her voice before anyone else can. I say this because the world would've known Sylvia whether she wanted them to or not." - Close Friend A book was written long before I wrote it. Seven years through hell, seven years to write this book, and an additional three years for my daughter, Ceaphrael, to transform my experience, into a story even I couldn't imagine. Simply writing this exert for you now, is surreal. As the ink dried on each paper, I began preparing for the world to hear one of the craziest stories heard, my story. I've arrived at a place of peace knowing how many women will gain strength and courage because of mine. Words housed in this book are the most vulnerable pieces of my heart to your eyes. I pray you find forgiveness for every fault towards you at the hand of others. Most of all, my prayer is for you to consciously decide to bathe in healing every day. - Sylvia L. Benson
