She went to the Lord in prayer and what emerged over that precious time, over the course of three decades, were countless devotional messages to encourage believers in Christ. These messages of hope embody author Carol S. Lewis' new book, God's Encouraging Presence, which creates a spiritual dialogue between God and the reader to help overcome the challenges of life. Biblical wisdom is bestowed evenly for needs pertaining to singles, married couples and members of church bodies, with the goal to prompt a full surrender to God as one walks by faith. Carol's messages also connect to obeying God's leading in life, fighting discouragement, and recognizing and strengthening spiritual gifts; common areas of needs among believers. As renewed courage abounds in believers, more will focus on God and the Bible to discover the next step in His plan. Carol answered her call to write; feel encouraged to answer your call.
