PREFACE Miracles do happen by the grace of God. My journey of life was full of ordeals and struggles. The very fact that I survived from many unfortunate incidents in my life, was nothing less than a miracle. Life is a long journey and God leaves His footprints on the way. I remember the famous poem ‘Footprints’ and God’s reply to the person doubting about Him in that poem: “My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trials and suffering, when you have seen only one set of Footprints, it was then that I carried you!” Tears of joy roll down my cheeks and these words come out from the bottom of my heart with gratitude: “Dear God…That was you who saved me? THANK YOU, GOD!” My book, “Blessings Galore” is a collection of poems and articles reflecting my thoughts on faith, devotion, life, patriotism, human relationships, and God Almighty.

Winner of the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Best Book, Caribbean & Canada and the Canadian Authors Association Literary Award; Finalist for the Governor General’s Literary Award for Fiction, the Thomas Head Raddall Atlantic Book Award, and the Winterset Award When a whale beaches itself on the shore of the remote coastal town of Paradise Deep, the last thing any of the townspeople expect to find inside it is a man, silent and reeking of fish, but remarkably alive. The discovery of this mysterious person, soon christened Judah, sets the town scrambling for answers as its most prominent citizens weigh in on whether he is man or beast, blessing or curse, miracle or demon. Though Judah is a shocking addition, the town of Paradise Deep is already full of unusual characters. King-me Sellers, self-appointed patriarch, has it in for an inscrutable woman known only as Devine’s Widow, with whom he has a decades-old feud. Her granddaughter, Mary Tryphena, is just a child when Judah washes ashore, but finds herself tied to him all her life in ways she never expects. Galore is the story of the saga that develops between these families, full of bitterness and love, spanning two centuries. With Paradise Deep, award-winning novelist Michael Crummey imagines a realm where the line between the everyday and the otherworldly is impossible to discern. Sprawling and intimate, stark and fantastical, Galore is a novel about the power of stories to shape and sustain us.

Charisse Ellison is a beautiful twenty-nine-year-old single woman who is new to her faith, but convinced that her relationship with God is the only way to have the truly fulfilling life she desires--one that includes a husband and children. Stefan Cooper is a thirty-three-year-old bachelor who has no desire to change his ways. Tall, muscular, and strikingly handsome, Stefan is used to getting what he wants from the opposite sex but is intrigued by Charisse's seeming indifference to his charms. The couple's intense romance leads them on a journey that challenges the bravado Stefan has held on to for most of his adult life and forces Charisse to see that God's answered prayers don't always come packaged the way we expect. Who Said It Would Be Easy? is a story that offers hope in situations that, at first seem hopeless, and shows that through faith in an all-powerful God, even the most painful experiences can culminate in true joy and peace--P.

The excellence of Gods word and grace helps us to be strong and wiser in our beliefs and wear the appropriate armor of righteousness. It also shares the unfeigned love by the Holy Spirit. Without the word the outer man will soon perish, and the inner man is renewed. Your word is forever and it gives us favors by God and his strength. Thank you for letting your word be manifested in our consciences. It offers life eternally, good health, protection, and light unto our path. Forever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven and established upon the earth. Your word enlarges our heart with joy and peace. We may be troubled, but we dont have to live in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed. We are thankful that your death worketh life for us. It is because of the written word that we believe in Jesus. We give thanks for being of the same spirit. Your word also worketh through repentance to salvation. It encourages us to walk upright in a godly manner. In conclusion, we know if we are in the world that worketh death. We are grateful our body is your earthly treasure. Amen.
