I decided to write this book about my adventures in Lebanon. I always had a vision of inspiring and motivating people, to overcome their setbacks and challenges in life. To look forward, and to write our new script every new day of our lives. Control our destinies and be free. Be yourself. Love yourself, respect yourself. Don't underestimate the power within you and what you are capable of achieving. What's better than sharing my adventure with the rest of the world to motivate, to share how powerful will and persistence can be. It is my life story, and it is a true story. From the age of five until I was twenty-three, I had a life full of adventures, setbacks, challenges, successes, fulfilment and happiness. It was on my fiftieth birthday when I decided to share this treasure, after looking at the person I became. I got curious to find the secret. The secret was the life I lived. It was a treasure, and ocean of adventure. It was a spectacular time.
What do Moses, Job and Solomon have in common? Beside their wisdom and faith, they had very little to say, if anything, about life after death. Moses is revered across the major world religions. Some think of him as a law-give, a courageous leader, a theologian or a deliverer, but more than anything else, he is known as one who is always communicating with God. That is why discussing the prayer of Moses requires a bit of contextualizing. The question most likely to be asked would be, "Which of his prayers?" Here, Moses is treated as a poet, whose poem is a prayer, over-laid with dark moments. The lessons learned from it, however, are of inestimable value to all believers and curious seekers. Many of the questions we have asked and would have like to ask, have found their way in some of the themes discussed. Maybe you have contemplated the nature of God, or whether God has emotions. What about death, does it terrify you? Can a person die before their time? Is there Grace in the Old Testament or is it just a New Testament concept? There is just so much to learn.

She tells, in convincing terms, about her long journey into the spiritual realm, revealing the struggles she has faced along the road less travelled. Her imagery sweeps the readers along her journey and her poetic flair provides incentive for her readers to improve their lives. Many will benefit from her insight as I have."Don Raper
