In Jewels for My Journey, Barbara Moon takes you from her childhood journey of faith where she meets Jesus Christ at an early age, through young adulthood where she learns about freedom and union with Christ, to a place in her adult life where Jesus heals a deep childhood wound, while at the same time healing the disaster of divorce. Readers will see the interworking of this journey as Barbara shares principles of the Exchanged Life, what to do with fear and emotional pain, and how to escape the prison of co-dependency. As the journey unfolds, God uses jewels of wisdom from Barbara's mentor, E. James Wilder, Ph.D., author of The Life Model and Living With Men, to lead her through what Dr. Wilder calls an identity change. As Dr. Wilder shares old ideas in a very unique way, what Barbara learns through her journey of faith is life-changing and rich with wisdom. You will want to explore and ponder these jewels over and over.

A true story of a man with a psychic gift since childhood of seeing the future and receiving the answers that many seek. One such vision took the author to the homeland of a famous Native American leader, Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe. This journey involved synchronicity and the belief that there is a pre-destined path that we can follow if we understand and accept the meaning and purpose of our lives. The author has continued to receive powerful visions and predictions that, in 2010, led him to Banska Bystrica in Slovakia, where he spent four years creating a very large painting of children that he believes will bring peace to Palestine and Israel within two years of the painting being shown there. The author's spiritual journey continues, as do his predictions that all eventually come true.
