The Blessings Don’t Come Without Lessons

The Blessings Don’t Come Without Lessons

By Antoinette Bethel-Danzy

is a collection of poetry and sermons that the Holy Spirit has put on my heart during the different chapters of my life. When I am bothered, my heart is heavy, or I am just plain excited, I am led to write it. I pray that anyone who reads this book may be blessed from the inside out, encouraged and will be just motivated to keep the faith and to stay on the path of righteousness even when the road gets rocky. Antoinette is a prime example of how God can still use anyone no matter what you have been through or how many mistakes you have made. After almost dying on the job as a Philadelphia police officer, she knew there had to be a purpose for her survival. She took the hurt and pain from losing custody of her first born to being nearly divorced and allowed God to use her to encourage and inspire someone else. No matter what life has thrown at her, she still believes in the goodness of God, spreading love, encouraging others and doing good no matter how much wrong has been done to you.
