ABOUT THE AUTHOR

The author, Barbara A. Jones, is the mother of one daughter, a retired contracting professional, a graduate of Champlain College and serves as an Associate Minister in Baltimore, MD. As a Christian, through prayer and faith she was strengthened, which gave her power to face life circumstances. This power helped her keep focus as she moved throughout her daily life. Prayer can change things. It can open doors that no one can close, bringing hope to a hopeless situation. You must have faith that no matter how it turns out, God is working it out for your good. My mother put it this way, “we can only see to the corner, God sees around the corner, up the street and into the next years”.

Additionally she performed in One Night at the Well, written by Bishop Vashti McKenize (2002), published author of, Grandma, Teach Me To Pray, (Feb. 2021), story in Pot Likker: Stories for Teachers and Educators, by Larry Grant Coleman (Editor), Deborah Peaks Coleman  (Editor) (Paperback – May 2001) and Quoted in Prologue of, Janet Reno, Doing the Right Thing, author Paul Anderson, published 1993, by John Wiley & Sons (1995).

Amongst her favorite scripture verses is, Philippians 3:12 MSG, ” I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made.  But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has wondrously reached out for me.”

Thanks to all who prayed for the completion of the book, Judi Hasbrouck for reviewing the initial draft manuscript, Carolyn Smith for her quick-witted humor and the prayer warriors who are praying daily.
