To Jesus Christ, To Living Water

Divorce takes Maria Henderson and her two children by surprise, and everyone responds differently. While young son, Papi, is indifferent and willing to take on the role of man of the house, teen daughter, Genny, an avid reader who is saddened by her dad's sudden departure, hides the onset of her female cycle from her parents. A star basketball player, Genny immerses herself in the sport and focuses on achieving a first time State Championship for her high school team. The author gives a voice to the broken-hearted Maria Henderson, who is suddenly divorced by her husband in his pursuit of another woman. Though hurt and feeling alone, Maria is led to Jesus Christ through the powerful witness of the Holy Spirit, her mother, and her good friends, Neicy and Mother Wright. Maria cries to Jesus for help, and He answers - not only her cries for herself, but her cries for her children, her ex-husband Robert J. Henderson and his new love. Accepting her call into ministry at Holy Tabernacle Church, and finally saying "yes" to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Maria submits to His will and learns from the Master Himself how to forgive, love, let go and live for His glory. Readers will turn the pages with laughter, joy, tears and praise as Jesus heals and sets free this admittedly angry and unforgiving young woman. The road to Maria's destiny will also see her ex-husband's narcissistic personality fighting not against her, but against the God who has chosen her, and this is the Lord's battle. Has God finally met his match against this trained black belt or will this mortal ex-husband finally bow to a new Sensei? Rich in spirit-filled sermons, including one which teaches about Jesus and the Samaritan Woman at the Well with fresh revelation, original psalms from a forthcoming gospel album and humor, this novel glorifies Jesus Christ and His power to satisfy the thirsty soul, whether male or female.
