    About this ebook

    This book is a tool designed to be used to help the new believer and returning believer in their walk with God. We can get side tracked and pulled off this path by hard circumstances and discouragement, but He wants you to get back up and dust yourself off and get back on track. To stay on the path God wants you on in this life, His word is to be studied and memorized and listened to over and over again. His word is filled with creative power and energy, and can give your life direction and purpose. Abiding in Jesus gives us a life filled with his presence and love. Discover your path, holding onto his hand and enjoying each moment. He's waiting for you.

    Kathy Kelley

    I graduated from the University of Central Arkansas in 1977 with a fine arts degree. Then, I worked as a layout artist at a family-owned, paste-up weekly advertisement paper in Sierra Vista, Arizona. I was offered better employment as a technical illustrator at Kentron International in Arizona. After my husband finished his Army years, we moved back home to Little Rock, where I was employed as an artist at the ABC affiliate, KATV Chanel 7. I have done freelance work for the poetry group in Arkansas, the Camelot Hotel, and Shorty Smalls Restaurant. I enjoy design work in any application needed to help develop the goals of the company.

      It was a hot September afternoon in Arkansas and the trees were blowing a wild, thirsty sound. With the first step into the dorm, I knew my life was permanently changing and my stomach was filled with butterflies. This explosion of freedom was like the 1970 Apollo mission to space, propelling me into an unknown world.
