Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system. The immune system begins attacking the myelin sheath that surrounds nerve fibers, demyelinating them and causing nerve damage to the brain and spinal cord, and this often leaves the body fatigued and unable to perform certain functions. Though this disease is considered a rarity, those who are diagnosed with MS often suffer painful and debilitating symptoms. Renee Lewis was no exception. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of twenty-five, Lewis embarked on arduous journey toward relief. For seventeen years, she worked with doctors, seeking conventional treatment amidst her suffering, but it was not until her last MS exacerbation that she said to God, "I cannot live like this anymore. Show me another way," to which God said, "I cannot heal what you cannot reveal." Lewis quickly began researching alternative medicine, taking a faith-based and holistic approach to healing, and soon, she found herself on the road to overcoming her disease. In Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis, Renee Lewis gives her testimony as an overcomer to encourage others suffering through illnesses of their own. Her Christian background helped her stay grounded in her faith to believe for a miracle despite her lifelong struggle with multiple sclerosis. Above all, she emboldens readers to put their health first and to trust God, as He always knows what's best even when we feel nothing makes sense.

Life happens to everyone, and the answers to life's questions and the solutions to its problems are often illusive. But no one is exempt from the challenges and adversity that life brings, be it sickness, death, financial struggles, or family discord. What we seem to forget is that adversity is not always an indicator that something is broken and needs to be fixed or that some wrong has been committed, so perhaps, it is our perspective that really needs to change. Garrick Cook's The Struggle IS Real! announces once more that God has not promised that this life will be free of obstacles; there are mountains and valleys on the path to fulfillment and peace, but God has provided us with the tools to traverse all terrains in His name. In his experience, Cook has found that it is better to trust God's providence and follow Him in His way, rather than to try and determine where the path leads before He's ready to show us. Unlike humanity, God always has a plan and a solution, so maybe our focus should be more on trusting His providence rather than trying to anticipate His omniscience. Try as we might, we cannot find joy through the denial of hardships and the quick fix of material possessions and destructive habits. However, God offers us the greatest joy through a covenant with Him that sustains us during this arduous journey. But one thing is for sure, the struggle IS real!

I gave my life to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ in 2015. I was married to an atheist who wanted nothing to do with God. My entire life was turned upside down. I went on a journey from tragedy to triumph. I learned to trust God even when He didn't answer my prayers the way that I wanted. I saw God's faithfulness in the midst of the pain. I saw God's provision in the midst of lack. This is my testimony of how if you allow God, He can take your brokenness and bitterness and give you beauty for ashes.

Coding this manuscript is in order; To know God, it takes more than one day. I haven't fully appreciated the significance of having a God-given component in my life until now. To discover something greater than my circumstances was my only hope, and through suffering, I discovered God. I've dealt with so much. There are numerous gods and philosophies created by humans in the world. Indian deities, traditional African deities, and even earlier deities My journey reveals that only the God of the Bible is a responsible, supreme, and undefeated God. None of them are the ultimate true God; rather, they are all lesser gods. Because the world is so planned and unpredictably unpredictable, one wrong move can alter a person's destiny, we all require God in our lives. Consequently, I join under Yeshua, Jesus' Hebrew name. In an effort to lead people to God, the majority of organized religion imposes so many restrictions, including confusion and unnecessary rules, that I, like many others, have a problem with religion. We were instilled with a moral compass in our subconscious minds by God in accordance with his divine right. Therefore, when you violate the law or defy your instincts, you always feel guilty, regardless of who you are. However, over time, exposure and desensitization cause individuals to ignore that judgment in their minds and hearts and to disconnect from the voice of God within them. God does not reside in a church or the world. We only need to identify one need for the creator to realize that God is within us. As we gain experience, we begin to change when we start asking questions. God's existence cannot be refuted by any scientific or non-scientific field of study. In point of fact, experiments and the natural world show that there is a light-like God. They simply do not wish to give him that credit.

Our creator's love for us is real and His desire is for us to know that great love and reciprocate it back to Him. His design was to be a father and have a family to enjoy. Whether you realize it or not, this is the desire of your heart also. Our ultimate need is to be genuinely loved and cared for. This longing will only be satisfied by the creator, the Lord Jesus Christ! Nothing or no one else that was created by Him can fill that deep void within us. He is the only source! Stop looking and searching in all the wrong places. Come home to Him today! Mrs. Penny Ann Sumner has a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from Georgia College.

Every individual will experience God according to the way they think; depending on their thoughts, He might not be whom they think. If you don't believe that He exists, then to you, he doesn't. If you believe that He sends sickness, death, and disease to punish and terrorize His children, then to you, He does. If you think He is a healer, deliverer, and provider, He will be so for you. Thoughts produce after their kind and bring forth their results. Is it possible to be so deep in a relationship with God that nothing can disturb your inner peace? Can your feelings be trusted? Does your "thought life" control your dreams, values, and destinies? In God is Not Who You Think, Author Michael Gullatte answers these questions and shares his memoir of pain, trauma, and transformation from his pre-conceived notions of God in this heartfelt and inspirational memoir.

Michael and Tarsha have three children, Maurice, Miera, and Michael II. goldenwordnuggets.com
