Sharon Lane - The Tears From My Soul

Praise

I would like to give Sharon thanks for writing such aheartfelt book. Ive known Sharon since childhood and never knewthe extent of her troubled years as a child to adulthood. Afterreading the introduction and the first chapter of her book, I nowknow what shes been through but cant relate to her pain becauseIve never been through what shes been through. I believe thisbook will inspire and help others who have been through the samestruggles or close to it. I was touched in reading about her faithin God and how all things are possible when you began to cry out toHim. I hope this book does well and I will be first in line topurchase it. Good luck to all who made this book possible.

The Tears From My Soul by Sharon Lane is a book everyliving soul should read and learn from. In reading this book, Isalute my beloved friend and sister Sharon for the courage she hadto overcome the odds in her life and become all that God createdher to become. This is what grace, favor, mercy and the love ofJesus can do for everyone who honestly seeks him. When you readthis book, you can make a decision today to cross over fromwhatever situation you are in in your life right now to the Lordand Savior Jesus Christ -the only hope for the hopeless, the onlylove for the loveless. I recommend everyone read this book and beblessed.

I would like to give a tremendous thanks to theteachers who believed in me and helped me to believe in myself. Ibelieve God has everything set in order of the way ones life willgo. He knew my heart for 25 years, but he also knew what kind ofteam it would take to put my life in the right order. Every time Iwalked into that building, I felt nothing but peace. I knew God wasmeeting me as long as I was being obedient to helping myself.

Alice Wells:

My mentor, you are the highest angel of all angels.Your spirit is like Deborah in the book of Judges. You are a womanwith great wisdom, and I love you with all my soul. Your spiritualwisdom is guided by your ability as a prophetess, one who has adeep connection with God and discerns instruction from meditationswith God. Whenever I sat and listened to you talk, I knew my soul,mind, and spirit was being fed.
