INTRODUCTION

In honor and praise to the God of all. This book was written from a place of love and a desire to assist myself and others in Returning to God. I included myself because I, too, am in the process of Returning to God. I realized there is no set time or any road map to get back to God.

This book started as a desire to write, which led to me wanting to share my experience with God’s mercy and grace. It wasn’t clear what I should write about and what was needed to start writing. So when I received an invitation via email to attend a free writing webinar, more specifically Hay House’s “How to Become a Successful Author Live Masterclass,” I was not surprised. I knew the power of stating desires and believing they will unfold. There are also no such things as coincidences or accidents… Things happen as they should.

The webinar made me realize the importance of knowing my intention in what I felt was needed for myself and others. The webinar consisted of four sessions. At the conclusion of each session, I asked the Holy Spirit (voice of God within me), Am I a writer? Do you have anything for me to write about? Finally, after the third session, I asked the Holy Spirit, Am I capable of writing, and what do I need to write about? Then the answer came. I have to tell my story in order to support others in their journey.

You will notice I used religious references (Holy Bible and the Holy Quran ) throughout this book not to make a point about religion or to lead you down any religious path but only to provide you familiar references. I am not a religious scholar, so your interpretation of these scriptures may be different than mine, and I expect that. I also used them to emphasize that most doctrines indicate that we are more than what our minds can comprehend.

It might be difficult for you to understand who you are especially if you have never been told or shown who you are. I recommend you start with asking yourself who you are. If you hear the voice within you say anything other than you are a son or daughter of God and were made in the image of God, do not believe it.

I pray this book blesses you with peace, joy, and love.
