Why I Wrote This Book

          This book was written to expose the devil AND TO ENCOURAGE FIRST LADIES EVERYWHERE TO BREAK THE CODE OF SILENCE!  You are in denial!  WRONG IS WRONG!  This is true whether you physically engage in it or allow it to happen by remaining silent!  Your silence will not make it right.  But rest assured, it will make you wrong!  In the pages of this book, you will find that you are not alone.  Your situation is not an isolated case and there are many others who can relate to what you are going through.  More importantly, you will find that there is help for you. 

            The devil is using the house of God as his safe haven while perpetrating holiness and openly engaging in atrocious acts.  Silence is the devil’s best friend and is the “Sleeping Giant” which lies at the core and very existence of first ladies everywhere, regardless of ethnicity or religious affiliation.  Under the umbrella of the church, the giant of silence has given consent and birth to deception, infidelity, homosexuality, drunkenness, incest, pedophilia, pornography, physical abuse, mental and emotional cruelty plus many others.  These scandalous deeds are detailed in the Bible in Galatians as works of the flesh. 

The graphic nature of several of the stories is not intended to entice the reader but to accurately describe the horror these first lady’s encounter on a daily basis.  Unfortunately, their experiences cannot always be sugar coated or packaged into a neat little box in order to protect the “delicate ears” of the Christian world.  Because I have chronicled the stories as they were told to me, leaving out NONE of the explicit details, the Christian world is in an uproar and did not want this book published!  Be that as it may, the truth of the matter is these women are hurting, their world is sometimes ugly, and their experiences are all too often bazaar, graphic, and sometimes, may even seem inconceivable.
 

Why You Should Read This Book

            You should read this book because it could save both your natural and spiritual life.  It will assist you in recognizing where to draw the line and bolster your courage when setting personal boundaries.    Additionally, it is my hope that this book will be a revelation and even a new beginning for you.

            WE NEED MORE FIRST LADIES LIKE ABIGAIL IN THE BIBLE!  Abigail’s story can be found in I Samuel 25:1-42.  Abigail was an intelligent and very beautiful first lady who took a stand against the wrong perpetuated by her husband, Nabal.  Had Abigail remained silent and simply followed Nabal’s lead, she would have been instrumental in the death of her entire household.   

FIRST LADIES, ARE YOU AWARE THAT:

You might be a partner in crime?  Or a co-conspirator.  Or an accomplice.

By remaining silent about wrongdoing, you are giving your consent and approval?

God will hold you accountable for your actions AND your silence!

Your silence might be hurting others that are following and believing in your ministry.  

God is calling you to take a stand against sin regardless of the identity or title of the perpetrator?

It is wrong to exploit God’s people or any other people?

First Ladies, DO YOU REALIZE:

How strong, beautiful and intelligent you are?

That NOTHING and NO ONE is worth the loss of your self-esteem, your self-respect, your self-worth, or your soul?

That a push, a verbal put down and even the use of foul language directed at you are all forms of abuse?

That “To love, honor, and obey” does NOT include abuse in any form?

That God loves you dearly and wants to put an end to your suffering? 

            Please be aware, the stories shared by the 21 courageous women do not constitute the content of the entire book.  The remainder of the book deals with scripture, God’s desire to restore and heal these women from their pain, and it provides information to understand their problems, where to go for help, how to select a therapist, if needed, and even step-by step instructions on forgiving the most heinous of offenses.
