This Walk Ain't Easy!: But, Help Is Along the Way (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781639453382)

This Book portrays the journey of a "Miss Guided," woman, who was raised in

church, practiced religion but failed to develop a personal relationship with

God. The story depicts how the lack of this vital relationship leads to unresolved

childhood issues, diminished self-worth, and a burning desire for wholeness and a

search for unconditional love.

Although this story resides in a fictional setting, it reveals true to life, heartbreaking

testimony of how a young woman makes a series of bad decisions that sends her into

a downward spiral which creates a deeper void in her life. Miss Guided is inspired and

encouraged by the graphic testimonies of four persevering women. The women's stories

are also true stories deposited into a fictional setting and written in their own words.

Teen pregnancy, single parenting, drug addiction, domestic violence, incarceration,

suicide, and chronic illness are just a few of the things the woman endure.

A Sheppard (Rev. Gilbert Pickett Sr.) guides this transformation process through his

support and scripture-based words of wisdom. Miss Guided undergoes a process of

revelation, reflection and change. She becomes whole, healed and demonstrates how

God can take ordinary people and do extraordinary things.

Through her journey, Miss Guided develops an understanding of the Christian

Development process and comes to terms with the fact that This Walk Ain't Easy but

Help is Along the Way.

Felicia Joy Devine is proof that God can take ordinary People and Do Extraordinary

things. For 30+ years Felicia worked in the field of Social Work helping Families,

youth, and Adults through some of Life's toughest challenges. Although this work was

rewarding there was always something missing. The answer became apparent when

Felicia Rededicated her life to God, understanding the difference between Religion

and developing an intimate, consistent Relationship with God. There was a shift from

her secular work to God's Kingdom Development work. Felicia is now purposed to

help families, youth and adults understand the difference between being Saved and

Bound to becoming Saved and Set Free.
