Beverly Banks, known more effectively as "True Love" the beloved creator, writer, director and producer of "True Love Productions" stage and film including "Are You My Daddy?" (film and stage play) "True Love" (stage play featured on Comcast), "Be a Man", "Broken Up" and "Ma'ma", International talk show co-host on "Crunk For Christ Radio" brings you another outlet in book form. All mediums produced by her are "Guaranteed to make you laugh, cry and sing out loud", its no different with this newest venture "Diamonds Before Dogs". In this book she requires the reader to "take the covers off" and become transparent with themselves. During a recent interview she is quoted to say: "I recommend taking this book in its hard copy form, your ink pen, and your honesty, and going to a quiet place where you can 'get naked'. You may not want to share this with anyone because if you are to truly become a "Diamond" in the end, its going to require you to 'get real' with yourself, and sometimes we are not so cute with the covers off..." When she was inspired to write "Diamonds Before Dogs", it came from a place in her life, as most of her productions do, of questions directed to God. His inspirational answers have previously delighted audiences in her stage plays and are now getting more intimate with them where they live. She was born of a hard life and just like diamonds that are knocked around, chiseled and polished to bring out their beauty, so life has done the same with her. Previously emotionally wrecked God has calmed her to become emotionally blessed. "I want to live my life blessing others, God has been faithful to me...through all the tears he promised he would turn my 'ashes' into 'beauty' and he has done just that. I am amazed at how he formed me, an emotionally wrecked suicidal woman into a strong stable effective counselor of those hurting inside and smiling on the outside...as you read "Diamonds Before Dogs" I pray you are as blessed reading as I have been in its creation...don't take shorts, you are too precious to God to allow any abuse of any kind from anybody...(including yourself!) -----Beverly Banks!
