"Unbound"

 

For years, many of God’s people have been held captive by Satan because of sin (Self Indulging Needs) harboring in their hearts and minds. Unbound is a short novella that utilizes realistic situations with hopes of encouraging sinners to gain freedom from bondage by turning to God. It demonstrates how God searches the heart and reveals the things that have a person bound.

 

Unbound gives examples of how one has to take the authority given to them by God, shows how to activate their faith, and how to surrender and allow God’s power to transform them into a new creature.

 

Unbound tells a story of a ghetto, unsaved church secretary that falls deeply in love with her successful Pastor, Joseph L. Jenkins. After years of the two being in a relationship and hopes of one day getting married, Shanta and Pastor Jenkins’ puppy love comes to a tragic end. The tragedy of Mrs. Jenkins finding out about her husband’s infidelity. Despite the fact of the affair being known to the public, Shanta refused to give up on her first true love. Besides, what would you do if the man you believe is your husband already had a wife?

Reflections of a Mississippi Magnolia

 

 

Reflections of a Mississippi Magnolia- A Life in Poems

Her book “Reflections of a Mississippi Magnolia” is a true celebration of the south and things southern. Using childhood memories, personal thoughts and dreams, she attempts to give a positive glimpse into the southern way of life. There are so many negative connotations associated with Mississippi and the south in general. She wanted to show a flip side of the coin. She says there is much to love about this much maligned and misunderstood part of our country. She wants others to really get to KNOW Mississippi in a different light. She invites us to Meet Mississippi Through Poetry, Prose and the written word.
