Thank you sir for your powerful testimony. I started my book(s) several years ago, but life kept adding new chapters. Hoping to finish over the next few years for the same reasons you enumerated so eloquently. Brent Johnson

Hi Derrick, I totally relate to what you said. My reason for writing my memoir is also as a document of my faith journey for my descendants. I also want others who are experiencing similar struggles to know that there is hope in Jesus and that we need not remain in a rut. I am also from Jamaica and living in the United States. Joy Steward
