Six Promises to God

Book Cover & Preview Text
Faith means believing what I am hoping for. That is what the Bible tells us in Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” In other words, it takes faith to believe beyond what we see and to have belief in the God whom we expect to see when life is over on earth. People who are unbelievers practice faith, although they probably do not realize they are doing so. But if we, as believers, place our faith in things other than God, we cannot please him. We must use our faith to believe that God is right here with us every moment—right now and always!
Perhaps there are those who are wondering how it is even possible for believers to use our faith to believe God is with us and working on our behalf while on earth, let alone when this life is over. After all, if we were to be completely honest with ourselves, life is sure to present a number of challenges. The book of Job tells us is in chapter 14 and verse 1 that man that’s born of a woman is of few days, and those days are full of trouble. The Bible further tells us in Matthew 5:45 that God makes the sun rise on the evil and on the good, and that he sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

About the Book
Women of Strength: Six Promises to God is an eloquent faith-builder that is designed to help increase women’s faith. Written in a heartfelt manner that exudes strength, courage, love, and faith, Dr. Kiki Thomas eloquently exhibits her purely unadulterated love for God. It is her heart’s cry to help the reader understand the power of faith.
Dr. Thomas’ profound literary work is, as its subtitle indicates, divided into six parts or six promises. Promise One encourages the reader to have faith in God even when he cannot be seen. Promise Two simply encourages the reader to have faith in God. The third Promise is to broadcast God’s voice and testimonies with the intention of helping other women to hear him more clearly while experiencing hope and inspiration. This promise is undergirded by four powerfully moving testimonies from five of the most important people in Dr. Thomas’ life. Promise Four is filled with Bible verses that will help the reader embrace the Word of God like “guiding stars.” Promise Five shares a plethora of hymns that will help the reader embrace them like “twinkling stars.” And, Promise Six is designed to help the reader love God’s gift of body, heart, and taste by providing cherished family recipes from Dr. Kiki’s loved ones. However, there is a bonus chapter that precedes Promise Six. It’s a prelude to the recipes, and it features some really wonderful stories that are relevant to Kiki’s love for cooking. It also provides an amazing glimpse into her personality and the genuine love she had for family and friends.
As you peruse the pages of Women of Strength: Six Promises to God, you will inevitably feel the love that pours from Dr. Thomas’ heart. This could be attributed to her southern hospitality that was instilled in her through her rich Louisiana heritage, or it could also very well be a divine work of the Holy Spirit. Better yet, it could be a perfect combination of the two. Nevertheless, it is clearly undeniable that this book was written to be a source of strength for women. Dr. Thomas’ faith is strong, and it is her desire for others’ faith to be strong as well. The reader will read and be blessed.
