The JoyFull Journey: A devotional for time away with the Shepherd (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692751466)

Lisa Saunders was born in Portland, Oregon on December 21, 1964, and is the youngest child of her beloved parents, Mr. And Mrs. Vollie Manning. Raised in church all of her life, Lisa had a life-changing encounter with Jesus at the age of 17 and she accepted Him as her Lord and Savior. However, her own life choices led her down a 9 year journey of brokenness and despair until December 1990, when at the age of 26, the Spirit of the Lord walked right into a nightclub on a Saturday night and met Lisa at the center of her "broken place" and recaptured her heart. She rededicated her life to the Lord that next Sunday morning and hasn't looked back. Lisa serves with her husband, Anthony Saunders, at Emmanuel Church in Portland, Oregon where Bishop C.T. and Lady DeAngeloa Wells are Shepherds. She flows prophetically through writing, worship, intercessory prayer, and personal ministry. Lisa also is the Founder of Resurrection Ministries, and conducts an outreach ministry for women called Crystal Gathering Women's Ministry which endeavors to lead women from the "broken place" to a place of healing, hope, and restoration in Christ their Redeemer - the same road she herself had to walk. The desire of her heart is to see God's people healed, free, full of joy, and purposefully walking in their Kingdom assignment. Lisa and her husband Anthony are the proud parents of a blended bunch that includes three sons, three daughters, and two grandchildren. Her heart, indeed, is full. Lisa's favorite scripture is Luke 1:45: "Blessed is she who believed there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord."
