The Lord woke me up one night, and I started writing. When I finished, it was twelve stories that are all true and part of my life's journey since I became a Christian. The Lord has blessed me to experience many lessons in this, and I owe everything to him. This is the Lord's doing. To him be the glory. I walk by faith and not in fear because I believe in God's word.

"The Church has failed the body of Christ. It seems as though the Church leaders do not care whether or not people get their needs met. They seem to care about members and pet projects. In this book, I hope to show how the Church has failed, and what can be done about it. We cannot just simply die and expect to go to Heaven without doing anything about it. Jesus made it very clear throughout the Gospels that we have to consciously decide what to do with Him." -Elizabeth Jean

Most times in life people only see the big picture. In an organisation, they acknowledge the manager, and the directors, but the cleaner may never be noticed. In church, the preacher, the choir, the ushers may be noticed, but not the one who prays for the church or the one who does evangelism unseen.Olamma prays that anyone reading this book will discover the greatness of their actions regardless how small they think it is. Everything is big because the motive, effect, or outcome really counts to someone, as reflected many times in the bible.
