This Walk Ain't Easy!

This Book portrays the journey of a "Miss Guided," woman, who was raised in
church, practiced religion but failed to develop a personal relationship with
God. The story depicts how the lack of this vital relationship leads to unresolved
childhood issues, diminished self-worth, and a burning desire for wholeness and a
search for unconditional love.


Although this story resides in a fictional setting, it reveals true to life, heartbreaking
testimony of how a young woman makes a series of bad decisions that sends her into
a downward spiral which creates a deeper void in her life. Miss Guided is inspired and
encouraged by the graphic testimonies of four persevering women. The women's stories
are also true stories deposited into a fictional setting and written in their own words.
Teen pregnancy, single parenting, drug addiction, domestic violence, incarceration,
suicide, and chronic illness are just a few of the things the woman endure.


A Sheppard (Rev. Gilbert Pickett Sr.) guides this transformation process through his
support and scripture-based words of wisdom. Miss Guided undergoes a process of
revelation, reflection and change. She becomes whole, healed and demonstrates how
God can take ordinary people and do extraordinary things.


Through her journey, Miss Guided develops an understanding of the Christian
Development process and comes to terms with the fact that This Walk Ain't Easy but
Help is Along the Way.


Felicia Joy Devine is proof that God can take ordinary People and Do Extraordinary
things. For 30+ years Felicia worked in the field of Social Work helping Families,
youth, and Adults through some of Life's toughest challenges. Although this work was
rewarding there was always something missing. The answer became apparent when
Felicia Rededicated her life to God, understanding the difference between Religion
and developing an intimate, consistent Relationship with God. There was a shift from
her secular work to God's Kingdom Development work. Felicia is now purposed to
help families, youth and adults understand the difference between being Saved and
Bound to becoming Saved and Set Free.
