Deborah
Deborah Ward was raised in a rural area in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. She now resides in Portsmouth, Virginia. She is the Widow of Waverly Ward formerly of Windsor, Virginia. Deborah has two daughters Tabitha White & Marcia Cross and four grandchildren Angelo, Andra, Justin & Sky.
The Holy Spirit inspired Deborah to write this book because so many people (believers and unbelievers) today credit "God" with the devil's work. We must realize as John 10:10 says, "The thief cometh only in order that he may steal and may kill and may destroy. I (Jesus) came that they may have life, and have it in abundance, to the full, till it overflows."
Our arch enemy, the devil or satan, has come that we would never inherit the Kingdom of God, to steal our faith in God, to kill our testimony for Christ, and to take us into eternal damnation. Jesus came that He would give us the life of Christ, that life which is lived on a much higher plain, the abundant life, the life that is rich and to the full, eternal life.
