Maureen Graham
Jeanette Graham is a CEO, founder, clinical Christian counselor, and pastor working to inspire women to stand on the strong foundation of Jesus Christ, understanding they are not alone, but with God, all things are possible. As she reached to God for guidance and direction in her early years, she found that reaching was not enough; you have to seek the presence and voice of God as you render yourself to him. She found her way and has worked endlessly to assist and nurture women in their conquest for joy, happiness, and peace, which comes through a solid relationship with Jesus Christ. Life is a journey, and it is worth each moment if you walk through life with Christ. “My mother’s journey inspired my work on this book, and as she is not longer with me, she would be happy to know that not only did I finally get the message, but her life was an inspiration that still leads me along the path of goodness, joy and, love.”

To my husband, Ernest
A special blessing from God, and he continues to support my steps even though the way is not always visible. He continues to believe in me and believe in the gifts God has given me for His glory!
Alice O. Harris
1927–2005
My mother, who loved me deeply in her own way and who, before her death, read parts of this book and realized she may never see it in print. She loved me for the woman I had become. My mother fought a good fight with life and loved those around her. She reached out to help others as best she could while seeking love, joy, and happiness for herself.
Kimberly A. Thomas
1972-2002
A remarkable daughter who loved her family but lost the battle to her illness. I believed in her and she wanted me to know she believed in me.
