Book Description

My life was a disaster from birth I didnt think that it was worth living, when something tragic happens to someone it was not easy to walk away and forget The pain and suffering the hurt brought me by someone I loved and looked up to who was my protector. Who later made my life a living hell I couldnt understand why things had to go wrong and it had to be me out of all people But when God has a plan or a calling on your life you will go through turmoil, storms and trials, death seen and unseen and come out a new creature. Remember before I tell my story that you are not junk, a looser or a mistake. God doesnt make mistakes he makes diamonds from coals.

Book Description

"Simpson writes with such sureness and economy that every story contains a full-size novel. The folk here are full of life, full of truth, full of surprises." - Mike Feinsilber, Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Allusions "R.K. Simpson's stories are gems. They are magic. They are not to be forgotten." - Sharon J. Wohlmuth, New York Times bestsellers Sisters, Mothers and Daughters, and Friends. "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans." Some of the stories in this collection bring that saying to mind. God might smile at the ones that end...with...unexpected twists because they are reminiscent of life's unpredictability. Others chronicle the confrontations we have had or have witnessed with todays' demons, including racism, abuse, homophobia, theft, even murder. The author has painted his heroes and heroines in these struggles with a sympathetic brush, so they will touch you and you will root for them, despite their flaws and foibles. In fact, you may even -- no, you most likely will -- find that some of them "will drift like phantom companions along the edges of your mind" -- to borrow a phrase from the author -- long after you meet them in this captivating book.
