Cafeteria For The Soul

Almost everyone in the country has a Bible somewhere in the house. However, few have ever read it. Many -- Christians as well as non-Christians -- misunderstand Christianity because they fail to feast from the cafeteria for the soul, the Bible. Christianity is not just a religion. It is a love relationship with Jesus Christ and one another. The Bible provides the spiritual food to nourish those relationships and make them meaningful. We cannot truly know Jesus and surrender our lives to Him if we do not know what He expects of us. We do not have to stumble through life wondering if we are doing the right thing. We have an instruction manual that teaches all we need to know to live lives pleasing to God. However, unless we read it and learn what the will of God is, we will stumble and fall. The hope is that after reading Cafeteria for the Soul the reader will hunger and thirst for a life that glorifies God and will pick up the Bible to find out how to attain a deeply spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ. The author, reared an atheist, is a mid-life Christian convert who hopes to help others avoid the pitfalls of life she encountered without the benefit of the Holy Spirit and the spiritual nourishment offered in the cafeteria for the soul, The Bible. After working in the world of business for twenty-five years and seeing the sin and corruption that tarnishes so many lives, including her own, she went back to school to learn how to study the Bible, apply it to her life, and share it with others. After twenty-five years of constant study the Lord said, "Okay, now let's write a book that will encourage others to do what you did".

Growing up in Baltimore and spending a lot of summers in Virginia, I was always surrounded by love and encouragement. Being an individual, love, honor, hard work, and pride became the foundation that would shape me into the man that I am. I have always had a love for art and its ability to be a vehicle for expression. Growing up I expressed myself through sketching, painting, and sculpting, but I wasnt able to relay my true thoughts, until I started comprising poetry. Poems trapped in my head, forgotten notebooks of thoughts I shed, and those slips of random paper, everything from envelopes to receipts, had become the warehouse of my expressions. Thank God for friends and family, they encouraged me to chase my dreams, and write this book. We are but echoes of memories on the wings of space and time, living immortally in the hearts and minds of those we have touched. It is my purpose, my hope, and my dream, to stimulate the heart and mind of whomever may read this book. It is my attempt to express and release my thoughts, so that you, my readers, may have a taste of who I am. If, but one person reads, and is positively inspired by my words, then this book will have serve
