Brenda Mackall’s New Book ‘Innocence Stolen but Faith Restored by the Power of God’ Reaches to the Broken With a Powerful Testimony of the...
Fulton Books author Brenda Mackall, a warrior who battled through all of life's tribulations, has completed her most recent book "Innocence Stolen But Faith Restored By The Power Of God": a reflective opus that carries God's healing power for people who are living in trauma. It is a comforting piece for those enduring the nightmare and pain from the hands of a predator. It is a journey to recovery written by a victim for other victims.
Mackall shares, "As a young girl, I always feared the Almighty God. I was born and raised in Baltimore City, a second child among six siblings, and raised by a truly wonderful woman of God, Rev. Dr. Frances L Waters. I, too, have grown to become a warrior for the sake of God, knowing that I had a calling on my life.
I was led not only to reveal God's power by becoming a minister for Christ but also to share my experiences in life to those who may feel and think there is no hope. I'm expecting my story of events to touch deep into someone's heart that may have endured such trauma and pain in their life, and to let them know that God has the healing power for anything we face in this life.
I am a true witness to those that have little faith in this powerful and Almighty God. Allow yourselves to put just a little of your faith and trust in this powerful God. I want to brag on his Grace and Mercy like how he reached down so far while I was at my lowest point in life and he rescued me. I am no longer afraid of what others may think of me.
Once I publish my book and allow my light to shine, I want to show others His power to empower people. I believe in myself and feel that writing this book is a part of my life's purpose. I know I am placed on this earth to empower and uplift some bowed-down heads.
My motto in life is as follows: All things happen for a reason. Place all your fears, worries, frustrations, and loss of hope in the hands of the Almighty God. My desire is to convince, uplift, and inspire people about this awesome God. All I have done this far in my life is brag about what our God can do.
Remember the purpose of this book! Everything I'll go through has the potential to help someone along the way. I have the desire to use my book as a tool to leverage for a greater purpose, a meaningful movement, and a bigger mission for the sake of the Almighty God—a rape victim trusting God while being blindfold by the enemy."
Published by Fulton Books, Brenda Mackall's uplifting pages carry her own story while bringing strength and hope to the broken. She wishes to help others mend their heart and souls with faith in God and faith in who they are.
The author wanted to stress that no person dealing with trauma should be overlooked or taken lightly—regardless of gender.
Readers who wish to experience this well-written work can purchase "Innocence Stolen But Faith Restored By The Power Of God" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes & Noble.

M.E. Marlowe’s New Book ‘The First Day of Many’ is a Compelling Account of a Cuban Family Who Established a Home and Legacy in...
Fulton Books author M.E. Marlowe, a medical professional specializing in the treatment of children's health, has completed her most recent book "The First Day of Many": a compelling piece that introduces a Cuban family's extraordinary choices in pursuit of their American dream. The catastrophic bombings in Cuba pushed Luisa Maria's family to leave their homeland. The nine-year-old girl left her home country with her father and cousin. This led Luisa Maria to stay with her aunt and uncle for a couple of days. The separation from her mother might be temporary but the child was still covered with anxiety. She's now a stranger in a strange land. How can she call it "home" when her family is not with her?
Marlowe shares, "Nine-year-old Luisa Maria thought she was dreaming when she heard her father whisper very softly and calmly, 'Honey, get up, stay low, and do not say a word.' He held her hand and, in a crouched position, led her to the top of the stairs where she saw her mother holding Luisa Maria's newborn brother. Her twelve-year-old brother was kneeling next to her mother. She thought this was not the way she would usually wake up every morning. Where was the unique sound of the tocororo bird letting her know that it was a brand-new day? Instead, she woke up listening to whispers, sounds of bombs going off, and faces full of fear. What is going on? Luisa Maria thought to herself. She saw her family all gathered by the large wooden mahogany door that guided the entrance to the grand front balcony of their home located in the suburb of Alturas de Belen, the Heights of Bethlehem, which was just outside Marianao, Cuba.
Maria Luisa asked, 'Where am I?' She thought in her semi-asleep state. She did not know what was happening. Was it real or all part of a terrible nightmare? She became frightened. It was an overwhelming fear, one that she had never experienced before in her life. It was not the fear that she had when her older brother would play tricks or pranks on her. It was not the fear she experienced when she would hear her Aunt Isabel's ghost stories from the old days. It was not the fear of the 'crazy' woman that would walk the streets, throwing stones at houses. It was not even the fear caused by the famous 'El Caballero de Paris,' the Count of Paris, a very well-known harmless transient that roamed the streets of Havana. This time it was different. This fear was one that left her speechless. For it was more than fear; it was sheer terror."
Published by Fulton Books, M.E. Marlowe's book is an inspiring story of resilience and perseverance. Luisa Maria is a great example that good things come to those who wait. She's a courageous young woman who withstood all the trials and tribulations before reuniting with her beloved family in a strange new foreign country.
This read will surely warm a reader's heart as it exemplifies the importance of family and strength in every circumstance.
Readers who wish to experience this heartfelt work can purchase "The First Day of Many" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes & Noble.
