I just got my copy of the book last week. It was suggested to my by Amazon believe it or not and I'm so grateful. I have a 6 year old and a baby girl who will be 1 in just 2 weeks.

I'm so grateful for the labor of love you poured into this work during a time that was so difficult and beautiful in your life. That first year of becoming a mother changed me so much and to hold something in my hands that I can share with my Black daughters, and know that it came from your own experience of becoming a mother.....wow....it gives me chills.

Thank you thank you thank for such a wonderful gift

In my childhood it was basically sacrilege to “add” to the Bible by imagining anything that wasn’t on the page. In these updates you’ve described the deeply personal and heartfelt empathy you’ve found in the Biblical stories and how the events must have affected everyone around Jesus and others in such a way that I can’t wait to read and experience the Bible again through fresh eyes. It should be a personal book and I think your efforts will help make it personal to a new generation. I can’t wait to read it with my two kiddos.

So is my word that goes out from my mouth:

It will not return to me empty,

but will accomplish what I desire

and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

Isaiah 55:11 NIV
