Local Author Pens Second Book
By Allen Payton
Through her new book, Pursuing God’s Purpose by Walking in the Now, Antioch author, business woman and pastor’s wife Qwivander Smith “paints a beautiful picture of the power of God’s everlasting love and devotion” according to the book cover.
The book offers “moving, personal testimony, life experiences and strong scriptural reference” and “is a call to all believers to walk in the will of the Lord.”
It’s based on the story of Nehemiah whose job it was to rebuild the walls of the city of Jerusalem.
Not everyone around him supported his efforts. Smith writes of three different groups of people: those who shared Nehemiah’s vision, those who just went along waiting for the time he would give up, and the naysayers and doubters who didn’t believe he could accomplish his mission.
“What has God told you to rebuild?” Smith asks the reader. “As you read this book I am confident something will be said to empower you, encourage you, and motivate you to pursue your purpose in life.”
Her first book was entitled “From My Mother’s Womb, To The Presence of The Father.”
Her books are available at Grace Bible Fellowship, where she and her husband, Pastor Kirkland Smith minister. The church is located at 913 Sunset Drive in Antioch or you can call the church at (925) 522-2017. They’re also available at her hair salon, Heavenly Hair, located at 320 E. 18th Street, Suite B, Antioch or by call the salon at (925) 706-2131.
