This book was born out of a prophetic dream my mom had back in November 1988, which indeed has been my spiritual compass, guiding me onto the path of destiny and allowing me to finally see it come to fruition from February 29 that evening, at 11: 59 p.m. PST. I was told by the Holy Ghost to submit my manuscript, and I obeyed God. On March 8, 2024, I received the call from my literary agent saying that they had accepted and approved my manuscript, that it was well received, and that they wanted it to be published. My response was a loud holler and crying at the same time. For me, it is a miraculous event. In addition to that miraculous event, as I read my manuscript and review the edited copy, I find myself living some of this out right now because faith will take you there before you actually get there.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11: 1) I am Marquita G. Hides, currently residing in the region of California. I was born and raised in the city of Fort Wayne, the hub of Northeast Indiana, and am the sixth of eight children. At the tender age of sixteen, I made the intelligent decision to receive Jesus Christ into my heart as my Savior and Lord, inspired by the best Christian example before me in my mother, who was the most wonderful person in the world and is now with the Lord!

I am an itinerant preacher preaching the love and power of God across the country. I have to thank my God for all my academic achievements, being I am a graduate of Oral Roberts University with a master's degree in Christian ministry, and I completed my undergraduate studies at Trinity College of Port Richey, Florida, obtaining my bachelor of arts in organizational management.

My heart desires to see and especially equip every born-again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ to come into their spiritual purpose and fulfill the will of God in their lives, whether they are young, in their middle years, or in their golden years.
