A Convenient Christian

Book excerpt: Walking with Christ is never a simple task, especially in today's society. For LaShawn, Brandon, and Sonia that walk will be everything except easy. The three all met and grew up in the house of God. Life's trials and tribulations will test the faith of LaShawn and her friends as they navigate their way through this world as adults. They'll be pushed to their spiritual limits in this story about love, life, and maintaining relationships with family and friends. LaShawn, a single mother of two, inherited what seems to be a curse. For her, the challenge of living a Christian lifestyle is even greater. She'll face the most devastating of circumstances, which will require faith in order for her to know God is in control of it all. With the Lord's help, she's determined to defeat the powerful forces Satan uses to lure us into temptation. Brandon chose to give up his faith due to the loss he suffered as a teen. He replaced it with self-destructive practices that caused him to lose everything he has ever cared about. Life will have to knock him down, in order for him to learn how to get up again. Sometimes, there's no better testimony than what you experience firsthand. Sonia feels God abandoned her long ago. At ten years of age, she experienced a life altering event. How she deals with her past is what will make the difference between her being a child of God or a child of the world. The power of The Almighty will change even the most doubtful person into knowing that The Lord is always at work in our lives. The one thing that will factor into all of their lives, is their belief in the power of prayer and God Almighty.
