That Little Thing

 




However, years later they are divorced from one another and celebrating the high school graduation of their only daughter, Ananie. Though Ananie is happy that her parents are there together to recognize her achievement, she can’t help but see feelings still linger between them. But what changed?

In the new book by author Jean Marie Desir, That Little Thing, this real-life story with fictional elements characterize what it means to be a woman of God in a society driven by sex, popularity, and image.

Spurred on by an unfortunate experience in his public speaking course, when he tried to share a speech about female sexuality and empowerment to an unfavorable audience, Jean Marie wanted to make sure his message on moral values for young women wasn’t lost on those who needed to hear it.

In the story, Ananie wants to know why her parents divorced if they were, clearly, still in love. After much thought, Jackie decides to share with Ananie that she wasn’t completely honest with Daniel when they were seriously dating and her wild past of sex, drugs, and alcohol later caught up to her.

Though their marriage ended, they stayed committed to raising Ananie as an upstanding, godly woman, one who wasn’t afraid to be herself even when ridiculed by others. She even gets her opportunity to witness to one of her former bullies, Stacey, at her house one weekend, impacting Stacey and her own relationship with her mother in several ways.

Yet the question remains: If Daniel and Jackie still have feelings and loving spending time with one another and their daughter, is a second chance still possible for their relationship?

The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God’s Discerning Power and Experience a Happy Life

    The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God’s Discerning Power and Experience a Happy Life  God calls, and reveals mysteries each new day. Do you see and hear Him? As we are nearing the close of this earth's history, the distractions of this world become more intense that make it so hard to distinguish the truth from errors. Consider this: When you look at the earth, you see an expression of God's love. You see God's creativity, His Design, His Mind, and automatically, you see His Character. He spoke it, and manifested the earth. Before, there was nothing! Then, He spoke, and the earth was created. So, we are walking on His expression, manifested into a solid thing we live on. What a beautiful sight! But not everyone will see this, and be ready to receive Him. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they almost lost everything they had, including access to the tree of life. One of those is the discerning power of God. This book, The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God's Discer...

Jacob must reckon with what he’s become, what he was brought back to do, and whether the soul of a dead man can still choose the right side.
