The Book of Six Collection of stories comes from my thoughts, dreams, ideas, and concepts for a better world and a better life. Thus the stories in themselves are written in a manner, which requires that the reader indulge them with an open mind. For in doing so, the hope is the reader might question the World around them, and perhaps make changes to ensure that they stay positive during their walk through life. Though you might not agree with everything you may read, the hope is that something of importance might take you by surprise, and help you overall.

The characters in Six Old Women and Other Stories all keep secrets. They are tough and rugged New Englanders whose pasts survive only in memory. Sometimes that's a good thing.

"These are stories born out of either visual text or open conversation with others on subjects we feel to be of great importance to humanity and this society we all so built for ourselves. And in the hope of a brighter future for generations well into the future. However, these stories give you (the reader) a look at a possible personal outcome, provided we do nothing positive toward making the future better for future generations. I mean, look, these are not predictions. Still, stories are designed to spark an interest in the open-minded individual and in the hope of a possible wake up to those negative ideas we so surround ourselves with every day in pursuit of that most promising future. So I ask first that you (the reader) will enjoy them, and secondly that you seek to find a more positive way towards that sort after, better future for all the generations to come. As always, I hope that you have something of importance you'll take with you to ponder later."

The Holy Spirit is always at work in the life of a believer. He chooses to work, however, in each individual life almost like a tailor-made suit—one that is custom-fit for the individual. His perfect fit is designed to draw attention to our best features and diminish our weaknesses. Clothed with Power helps you explore how the Holy Spirit is at work in every area of your life. Designed as a six-week interactive study, national best-selling author and prayer expert Jennifer Kennedy Dean uses the symbolism of the Old Testament priests’ garments to show you anew how your salvation has always been a part of God’s redemptive plan. And, how it is through that salvation that the Holy Spirit is the living Jesus in you now—making you fit for heaven’s work here on earth. An accompanying DVD to this study is also available.
