Betty's House: Clean Up and Move Up (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781638748922)

Using the parable of Legion, a man oppressed by demons and saved by Jesus even his neighbors feared change, the author encourages the reader to accept the change the Lord offers. Betty's own story of transformation from homeless and barely able to meet her family's most basic needs to a successful business owner, community leader and minister to others' suffering is reflected in the parable. Even when change was opening the door to goodness, opportunity and righteousness, she was initially afraid to engage in the work the Lord was asking her to do. By overcoming her own reluctance to heed the Word, she achieved success that she could not have ever imagine.

This true story centers on the author's positive attitude toward maintaining a clean home. Betty's tale is not just the rooms that comprise her living environment but about cleaning her body and soul as well. In order to achieve grace, opportunity, and success, Betty had to remove the obstacles in her heart and mind and be willing to accept the task that God put in front of her in order to best meet His plan for her. The two tales, one a parable and one a report of personal transformation, centered on a tour of Betty's home, are engaging and inspirational.
