ABOUT THE BOOK


 

As Christians it is somehow implied that once we are saved, we have all the skills for living a kingdom life on earth. There somehow a switch that flips on and we are downloaded with the faith to make it through all the storms. We will instantly trust God with our lives even though we were taught to not trust anybody. We are somehow just going to love God unconditionally when most of us were not loved and don’t have a clue how to receive love without conditions. We must learn the new life and way of living IN God. When we come to Jesus Christ as born-again servants of the Lord, we are not told that we need more that a service mindset with God to make into heaven. Our relationship with God can be broken down into three parts just like the Tabernacle of old. Either you are having a relationship (outer court), or you with God (The Holy) or you are in relationship with God (The Holy of Holiness). Now all are good to experience but faith, trust and love can only be when we are IN a relationship with God.

 

Cynthia Robinson takes you through the 3 stages of growth in God it is Have, With and IN. She explains the how’s, what’s, when’s, and who’s with familiar biblical characters and principles. Cynthia has included her own experiences waking in complete darkness right in the church.” I never know faith, love and trust in God would be like this but when you open yourself to his grace and mercy the True God can show up for you”. 

 

EXCERPT

 

The “IN” word is a simple yet complex book on being “IN” a relationship with God. We cannot just be a Christian or a religious person. At the point of adoption into the family of God, everything in our lives change. We are no longer on the outside looking in. No more just being Gentiles or Jews. Not sinners doomed to hell for eternity. The confession of your mouth that Jesus Christ came to die for your sins and that His resurrection confirmed eternal life with the Godhead, we are now heirs with Christ. 

 

With that being said, to be “IN” means we have something we must do. We are to be “IN” relationship with God. Now, I know some of you are saying, “I’m already in a relationship with God. I pray daily, I read my bible and I go to church. I sing in the choir, I minister to the young/the elderly, and I do other ministry work. I give to the poor and I do missions work out of the country. I pay tithes and offerings.” “My relationship with God is fine. Is it, really?” Everything mentioned are works for the Kingdom. It’s good, but what about the “IN” God part? Merriam-Webster defines the word “IN” as, used in a function to indicate inclusion, location, or position within limits.

 

After reading this definition, what type of relationship do you have with the Godhead? Are you “Having” a relationship or “With” God “IN” a relationship or are you “In” relationship with God? 

Let’s see…

#Virtualbooktour Naked & Not Ashamed: The Transformational Devotional Experience by Chanelle Coleman #spiritual #newbookalert #newbookrelease

 

Write Now Literary is pleased to be organizing a one-month book tour and book giveaway for Naked & Not Ashamed: The Transformational Devotional Experience by Chanelle Coleman. The book tour will run May 2- 27, 2022. 

 ISBN: 979-8985407600

Genre: Spiritual





 



 




Chanelle Coleman Wesley is a native of Milwaukee Wisconsin. She is the creative powerhouse of CeCi’s Ink, an innovative storytelling company that conveys stories through poetry, books, playwrights, blogs, fashion, and motivational speaking. Chanelle is significantly inspired by her late mother’s, Brenda J. Coleman, penchant for prolific storytelling and developing a strong sense of faith. As a survivor of abuse, Wesley believes in passing on the communication skills she developed to cope in those environments. She is also an accomplished playwright with her latest project, a gospel stage play entitled The Beautiful Truth About an Ugly Lie to be released soon. She strives to empower individuals who have lost their ability to advocate for themselves by challenging them to recognize the power of their voice. Her greatest accomplishment, however, forever remains becoming a mother to her six beautiful children and “GiGi” to her two adorable grandchildren.


 

Naked & Not Ashamed is a transparent conversation between Sisters. One that allows both the writer and reader to expose themselves without fear or sense of condemnation. It’s a journey towards healing that allows us to dialogue without masks, charades, or pretense. We explore familiar stories of women in the Bible. These powerful narratives of trial, triumph, failures, and flaws show the resiliency, redemptive and transformative power of encountering Christ. I also reveal personal experiences of my own Christian walk with all its ups, downs, twists, and turns. But the most amazing part of these chronicles is you! Right now, you are writing your story. Are you living with pain, grief, and regret that needs to be released? This book is designed to help you see your own undeniably powerful narrative. I want to challenge you to see the hand of God in your life and urge you to find the ability to tell your story. We accomplish this through journal prompts, activities, prayer, etc.



Tony instantly began screaming and yelling. I continued to bite down harder. I continued biting and grinding my teeth until I couldn’t bite anymore. I let go. He fell back onto the bed. I jumped up out of the bed, my heart was pounding, terrified I opened the door, and I was met with darkness. Hurriedly I ran out past the dining room, through the hallway to the kitchen. Panicked, I reached the back door. I began pulling on the door, but it was locked. Fear seized me as I began fumbling with the knob trying to unlock the door. The latch finally twisted up and I raced up the back-hallway stairs. At last, there was light. I ran as fast as I could through the open kitchen door. The light continued to welcome me as I forged ahead running through the hallway past the bathroom and my aunt’s and grandparent’s bedrooms, the dining-room and into the living room to the couch where my grandmother was sitting. I distinctly remember her shocked expression as I pounded towards her as she sat there speechless, on the couch holding my baby brother. I felt relieved and a sense of security momentarily came over me until my grandmother spoke. She stared at me, with her mouth opened in shock. She screamed, “Chanelle, you’re naked! Where are your clothes?” Momentarily, I had forgotten that I was naked, but the awful realization of my nakedness began to cover me like a garment. It was the evidence of my pain, humiliation, and fear. I stood there breathlessly as I gasped, painting for air, naked and ashamed, I told her my story. 





How did Naked & Not Ashamed: The Transformational Devotional Experience get started?

 

I’d like to begin by thanking you for providing me with this amazing opportunity to connect with you and your audience. My journey to writing this book began while attending College days at Oakwood University in Huntsville, Al. While there I attended Breath of Life Ministries under the pastorship of Pastor Carlton Bryd. Bryd’s message spoke of a woman in the Bible. Although the story was a familiar one, that day the woman’s narrative spoke to me on so many levels. I felt deeply connected to her. As I continued to meditate on what I heard, I thought about countless women who may find a parallel between various stories of women in the Word of God and their own lives. It was at that moment I decided to get started.

 

My book is entitled Naked & Not Ashamed: The Transformational Devotional Experience. Naked & Not Ashamed is a transparent conversation between Sisters. One that allows both the writer and reader to expose themselves without fear or sense of condemnation. It’s a journey towards healing that allows us to dialogue without masks, charades, or pretense. We explore familiar stories of women in the Bible. These powerful narratives of trial, triumph, failures, and flaws show the resiliency, redemptive and transformative power of encountering Christ. I also reveal personal experiences of my own Christian walk with its ups, downs, twists, and turns. But the most amazing part of the story is the readers! Right now, they are writing their story. Some are living with pain, grief, and regret that needs to be released. This book is designed to help her see her own undeniably powerful narrative. I challenge readers to see the hand of God in their life and urge them to find the ability to tell their stories. We accomplish this through journal prompts, activities, prayer, etc.

 

 

Is there one particular message or “moral of the story” you hope readers walk away with?

 

Yes! I want readers to emerge from these pages empowered, inspired, and on the road to healing. We live in a world filled with hurting people. They need to know there is a Balm for their pain. These powerful accounts will give the reader permission to tell their stories so they too can encourage someone else who is broken. I want them to recognize that encountering Christ, apart from the crowd, will allow them to experience a breakthrough in their lives. Developing a personal relationship with the Master will irrevocably change their lives giving them peace, joy and happiness. At the conclusion of this book, it is my desire for each woman to realize how deeply she is loved by her Creator.

 

 

What is your current work in progress?

 

I’m so excited about my next projects! A gospel stage play entitled The Beautiful Truth About an Ugly Lie. It will be performed in person in May 2022 and virtually in June 2022. A devotional book I co-authored entitled Joy Comes in the Morning is scheduled to be released in June.2022. I’m in the process of having a children’s book illustrated by Janna Peterson. The book is designed to help children believe in themselves and foster positive self-esteem entitled Believe. Last, but certainly not least, a self-help book for women She said Yes to Herself!

 

 

What advice would you give to a beginning author?

 

My advice to a beginner writer is very simple; before you sit down to write, identify your target audience. Create a persona, know their age range, sex if applicable, education, are they married or single, where do they spend majority of their time, what types of challenges do they face? This information will help to guide you as you begin to write and market your book.

 

 

 

What would be your dream vacation?

 

I’d love to visit Hawaii or Dubai. Traveling is such a freeing act. I love the opportunity to experience different sights and sounds. I could admire the beauty in a natural landscape for hours. There is a medicinal property that is activated by being out in nature or changing your scenery. It gives me an adrenaline rush and my mood is always brightened by taking in new sights.

 

 

Besides when you came to know the Lord, what is the happiest day in your life? 

 

Besides knowing the Lord, the happiest days of my life are the births of my 6 beautiful children. Each time I experienced a new way to fall in love at first sight all over again. My children are my life. They have given me so much strength, understanding, wisdom, patience and a greater capacity to love another human being.

 

 

How has being published changed your life?

 

This has been such a rewarding experience. I started writing at the age of seven or eight years old. I became a published author at the wonderful age of forty-five. It tells me it’s never too late to realize your dreams. As a child I was determined to see my name on a book and although life happened and my dream was delayed it wasn’t denied. It has inspired me not to limit myself or place a timeframe on when things must happen. Accomplishing this lifelong goal has motivated me to go after bigger and better things.

 

 

How do you see yourself in your character’s story, if at all?

 

The book has several characters. There are some characters like Hannah, Leah or Bathsheba that we are given a glimpse into the close of their narratives. So, we don’t have to speculate too much on how their stories end. Then there are characters like Job’s wife, the woman at the well and others that no additional information is given to us. We can only guess what happened in the next chapters of their respective stories. Finally, I am still living so my story is still in the process of being written. But I pray it ends well.

 

 

Where do you like to write?

 

It’s funny but I never thought about where I’ve been most comfortable writing until you asked the question. The answer is the books, poetry, blogs, monologues, plays, etc. I’ve written I wrote in bed. The irony is that’s where my first encounter with sexual abuse occurred. I was only four or five years old at the time. But it’s where my journey for healing began. As a forty-five-year-old woman it’s where I go to become empowered. Each time I write I emerge stronger and more resilient than the time before.

#BEHINDTHESCENES #NEWBOOKALERT Awaken The Dream By Indiana Tuggle #DEVOTIONAL #NONFICTION #INSPIRATIONAL @wnlbooktours

Welcome to Behind The Scenes

Today's featured author is 

Indiana Tuggle




What’s holding you back from making your dreams a reality? Is it your past, limited education, family obligations, lack of confidence, low self-esteem, fear, time, money, or lack of support from others? Or perhaps you started but then the storm came, accusation aroused, friends and loved ones turned their backs and your life slowly spiraled out of control! Regardless of your current state, it’s difficult to remember that you were created for greatness, that there is a miraculous calling on your life, that all things will work together for your good or that the storm won’t last always. Indiana knows what you are going through, and has provided just the dose of inspiration to get you moving.  

Awaken the Dream, filled with 90-days of encouragement, serves as a reminder of God’s everlasting love for you and His plan for greatness for your life. With daily prayers and ‘Reflections and Reaction’ exercises, each devotional is intended to motivate you to continue to stand on the promises of God while helping you to examine yourself and live a life holy and presentable unto Him representing Christ in all your endeavors.

The beauty of "Awaken the Dream" is that it is numbered rather than dated, therefore you can mark your favorite devotional and pick it up whenever you need a dose of encouragement or kick in the butt to stay the course



About The Author

Raised in the poverty-stricken, crime infested projects of Memphis, Tennessee. Indiana turned the tragedies of molestation, bullying, domestic violence, and low self-esteem into triumph. The first in her family to graduate high school and attend college, she went on to obtain multiple degrees in Social Work (BSW), Public Administration (MPA), and Professional Counseling (MPC). Her personal testimony serves as motivation and feeds her passion for helping others not only survive but become more than conquerors.  

Frustrated with being single, constantly questioning her own singleness, and fear of failure in pursuing her dreams, her pursuit of happiness and a closer relationship with God led to her becoming an author of 3 books “Stop Asking Why Are You Single,” “Saved, Single and Frustrated” and the newly released “Awaken The Dream.” Rather than focusing on a man or obtaining a man, her books inspire singles to enjoy where they are with God,  details her personal struggles with her past, and invites the reader on a journey of healing and deliverance from un-forgiveness, rejection, abandonment, fear, and low self-esteem into a discovery of identity, purpose in Christ and the fulfilment of dreams.

Her books also serve as inspiration for I Am Woman. I Am Woman is a grass roots women’s empowerment group Indiana is creating to encourage and empower women to live a life of purpose and utilize their God-given talents in their community. Through her Awaken the Dream Coaching program and Write 2 Heal Telecourse Indiana hopes to teach women how to heal from the past and walk in freedom with Christ. With her testimony as the foundation, Indiana speaks on topics of Breaking soul-ties, Identifying Unhealthy Relationships, 
Overcoming Abuse & the Healing Process, and What to do while you wait (Singles). Indiana also believes all gifts from God, including a spouse, comes with an appointed time. If we sit around and ponder over what we don’t have, we miss the beauty and the blessings of what we do have. Life is a journey, if we never get started we will miss out on its rewards. We can choose to participate or be bystanders, either way, life moves on.

EXCERPT

Patricia walked into Jillian’s office closed the door quickly and fell backward against the door. Her eyes were upward and her body language said that she was about to faint and slide to the floor “Okay boss indulge me just a minute.”

“What going on? Besides you only call me boss when you could be in trouble or you’re getting ready to hurt somebody.” Jillian inquired “Jillian, I’m about to put a hurting on somebody in a minute, but in a great way,” Patricia said softly.

“What’s up?” Jillian exclaimed.

“The representatives from Randolph Technologies are waiting to see you in the lobby. I have never seen three brothers look so good since my favorite group, ‘Guy,’ back in the day,” Patricia closed her eyes and did a slight shake and shimmy from her shoulders to her waist.

“Okay, Patricia, your minute is up and the key to this company not going down the toilet is on the other side of that door. Girl, get a grip and show them in,” said Jillian with a slight frown.
“Okay, are you ready?” Patricia straightened her clothes and mimicked putting her hair back in place.
“Yes, I am ready and show them in already,” Jillian then gave Patricia a sharp look while putting the last papers in a folder and coming from behind her desk.
Patricia opened the door to the lobby and said to the visitors, “Gentleman, Ms. Forrester will see you now.” Three very handsome gentleman entered Jillian’s office.
Patricia continued, “Ms. Forrester, this is Mr. Byron and Myron Randolph, the CEO and President, respectively of Randolph Technologies and their associate, Mr. James Jones.”

“Jillian, is that you?” asked Byron as he stopped dead in his tracks at the sight of her face. Byron took a long sweep over Jillian from head to toe. Letting his eyes thoroughly glance over every inch of her body. Jillian was checking Byron out right back and blushing greatly on the inside and out. Jillian was thanking God that her milk chocolate skin could hide how hot her cheeks were getting at Byron’s glance. Jillian remembered that Byron was always the ladies’ man of the two. She knew that she couldn’t take what he said seriously because he could be saying it to about three other women too. His eyes were saying a lot and she was trying to believe the clear non-verbal communication. Byron and Myron were both classified as nerds, but Myron was the real nerd of the two. Besides loving technology, Byron and Myron were unique in that they were identical twins in size and height, but with different color complexion. Both men stood six feet three and weighed about 225 lbs. Byron had dark smooth chocolate skin while Myron had a lighter brown complexion like caramel candy. Studies had been done about the twins when they were younger. Their doctor wrote and published an article in a medical journal about their uniqueness.

“Jillian Forrester, look at you?” interrupted Myron who had been standing next to Byron watching them both and waiting his turn.
“Oh my goodness, yes, it’s me. Byron and Myron Randolph? Look at you guys. I had no idea. I realize that this is unorthodox and not the way I normally start a business meeting, but can I have a hug?” They all laughed as Jillian embraced each twin, Myron first and then Byron. They smelled like Yves Saint Laurent’s latest cologne and dressed in similar clothing, but not matching tailored suits. The days of the twins wearing matching outfits had been abandoned by the time they reached their middle teens. Byron, being the mischievous one, took both her hands in his once the embrace ended and he slightly swayed them back and forth. He stood there holding and gently rubbing her hands in a slow circular motion that left Jillian quite uncomfortable. Byron knew he was wrong, but didn’t want to let her hands go. He kept looking into her eyes to gage her reaction and to soak her all in.
Byron thought, ‘Oh my goodness this is Jillian Forrester standing right in front of me.’ Byron tried not to reveal with his eyes all of the rush of emotions that were going on in his head not to mention the fast beat of his heart at the sight of her. He thought, ‘If she only knew how good it is to really see her. Get a grip and calm down boy.’

A look of confusion came on Jillian’s face at how Byron was looking at her. She never dated or even had any thought that Byron even liked her other than a friend when they were younger. What is this? Jillian looked down at the floor quickly realizing that this was suddenly a very awkward and misunderstood moment. They both forgot they were in a corporate office and that there were other people in the room. Jillian had so many questions running through her brain. Byron, on the other hand, was continuing to take her all in. Jillian knew that she must somehow stop this scene from getting any worse or misreading the whole situation. She came back to herself from her thoughts in time to remember she was ignoring the third man in the room. She removed her hands from Byron’s grasp and turned her attention to the other gentleman.

“I am so sorry your name is James right? I don’t know you that well or I would hug you too.” Everyone laughed as she shook his hand. James was much taller standing about six foot five and two hundred sixty five pounds. He looked like he could be a defensive end or tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals or some celebrity’s body guard. This very large, gorgeous gentleman was standing there with an iPad, leather portfolio and iPhone. At five foot three, Jillian felt like a midget compared to these three men. Jillian enjoyed the sudden attention and affection, but knew they must get down to business.
“Well, shall we all have a seat?” Each man took a seat around Jillian’s small conference table and Byron placed himself to her left, Myron was on her right and James was seated next to Myron.
