SIN: Origins, Consequences & Deliverance

About this ebook
The “words of wisdom” within this document were written by my mother at various times in her life. She spent years studying the Bible—the Holy Word of God—and memorizing scripture to help her through rough patches in daily living and then praising in times of joy. I always thought of my mother as the closest thing to an angel I would ever see. Her heart knew no boundaries. She had the gift of mercy and charity, always finding new ways to contribute to her family, church family and friends.
When I was a child she served as the children’s choir director for many years and even wrote a children’s musical for the church! She served on several committees and offered time away from church once a month to pray with a “prayer partner” during church services. In her later years, she wrote Children’s Short Stories she desperately wanted to have published in an assortment of magazines. Regarding publication, this included a prayer book for teens. She never reached her dream of publication, though. Through avenues like Smashwords and certain POD locations, she will finally realize that dream, through me.
This series is only one of many my mother wrote before her passing. Her writing meant a great deal to her, but more importantly was the desire to share her love of Christ and his free gift of life to all who believe...

My writing didn't truly begin until I became a junior in high school. A friend encouraged me to write a short story, like the one he was writing, and I gave it a shot. It was a spin-off between Mork and Mindy and Star Wars. What it lacked in plot direction was replaced with adventure and fun dialogue. This first attempt accomplished its purposed and I was forever overtaken by the writing bug.Over the next few years I read like crazy, mostly historical novels. I didn't begin reading contemporaries until I got married several years later. I decided I wanted to write a time travel like the one my favorite author had written. Constance O'Day Flannery became my first inspiration to become a published author. {Since then I have had the honor of meeting and learning from many different authors: Suzanne Brockmann, Madeline Baker, Christine Feehan, Michele Bardsley, Jo Beverley and many more.}I love to read. New ideas for novels pop into my head at the most inconvenient times. The idea that you can create a magical or mysterious world with only the touch of your fingers to a keyboard encourages me to write more.While in college, at Howard Payne University in Brownwood Texas, I majored in English {minored in Art} and wanted desperately to become a published author. I've continued to work on my writing and designing skills and hope to one day achieve the same level of talent as many of my favorite authors.I have a wonderful husband, two boys, two dogs and two cats. We currently live in central Texas.I offer my clients design work for ebook and print, formatting and uploading only to Smashwords and Amazon.View my website for more details: http://laurashinn.yolasite.com.
