All I can say is WOW. I started reading and could not stop. What a powerful story and testimony. Will definitely buy the book. —Pastor Ethen Gillespie
What a great read! God used and strategically placed you in a position to impact the church and community around you. I am certain that faith will be enhanced, patience encouraged, lives changed, and visions inspired as readers journey with you through your experiences and the culmination of your destiny unfold. —Jeremiah B.

The reading of this book is a directive in developing and using your faith in a time of testing in critical sickness, based on a true life’s experience. I strongly recommend this book be given to anyone that is facing a crisis in their life, because it is a road map of how to come through victoriously.
I picked up this book and could not put it down, till it was fully read. Pastor Steve Jamison does an awesome job simply giving his testimony about his real life, which was unfolding the destiny of God for him, the Maranatha Church family, and the Columbus, Mississippi area. I have personally known Pastor Steve, and I have watched him live through this situation with character and integrity. As you read this story, you will be subtly exposed to principles of the Word of God that will lead to heaven’s purpose and his plan for your life. I also believe this book will cause many Christians to pay more attention to the circumstances of our lives, which will lead to our destiny beginning to unfold to the glory of God. Finally, I am looking forward to this book being made into a movie. Blessings!

Industry Reviews
The biblical mandate to be vanguard communities, restore desolate cities, and proclaim justice to those entrusted to our ministry is clearly evident through the witness and testimony of this profound chronicle. Pastor Jamison reveals an unfeigned tenacity and uncompromising journey that transcends cultures and community. His familial heritage, personal preparation, and life challenges were foundational tenets that emerged this Pentecostal cleric to defend with honor an unappreciative society and successfully confront a multitudinous series of events and monopolies. His unwavering faith and God-given tenacity has benefited his personal environs and globally transformed policies that impact environmental awareness and health and safety. His sojourn reveals the power of God through a determined and committed Church of God in Christ Mississippi congregation, who chose to suffer affliction and persecution, rather than become a lukewarm, compromising, nonessential group of hypocrites. Though criticized and rejected by those that would ultimately reap the enormous benefits of their struggle, the beacon herald of this impressive congregation gives hope and inspiration to communities across America to remain true to our calling and conviction.
It is with great admiration and appreciation that I commend this spiritual leader and those who faithfully discharged their duty to ensure spiritual significance of the church within our community and protect the souls and health of those entrusted to their ministry. Those families who suffered unimaginable hardships and pain from corporate corruption, legal injustices, and insensitive custodians may now enjoy resolution to many unknown questions relative to health and unacceptable living conditions that have impacted generations. This leader and congregation must be applauded for their fidelity and willingness to display a godly witness through their struggle and bring victory to their community. There is nothing too hard for God!
