Produktbeschreibung
In a world that has apparently gone mad, it appears as if people are replacing the Bible with guns. Safety seems to be a myth. TV, the Internet, print media, and the radio bombard us with tragic events, that shatter our communities and, ultimately, our world. Although the situation appears dismal, Author Fiona Harewood believes that prayer is still the answer for a confused and troubled world. In this transparent book, the author shares how God responded to the calls for help that she and others made amid challenging experiences, and how He came to their rescue. Sometimes His answer was, yes; sometimes, it was no. Sometimes He stepped in even before she had time to call on Him! 24 Days: Prayer to the Rescue, references individual miraculous accounts of life changing circumstances, and reveals a model that helps readers realize that their problems are solved when they focus, not on the problem, but on the Problem Solver! After reading 24 Days: Prayer to the Rescue Series, you will learn: that God has no favorites, and He still performs miracles for ordinary people, everyday; to persevere in every situation, knowing there is nothing too hard for God; to allow your faith in God to develop and to trust Him even when His answer is, "No" and that God is all-knowing, so sometimes He answers even before we call on Him.
Autorenporträt
Fiona Harewood always wanted to be an author, but never really thought it possible until she started working as a part-time housekeeper for Karen E. Quinones Miller, bestselling author of Satin Doll and other novels. One day while washing dishes, she told Miller of her dream. "Put together what you have, and I'll critique it and let you know," Miller told her. And so, it began! Prior to embarking on her dream career, Harewood, who grew up in Guyana, South America, struggled in high school. Before migrating to the United States in February 2001, she lived in Barbados, West Indies, for thirteen years and worked in the airline industry. After living in the United States for a few years, she decided that she didn't want to be a housekeeper anymore, but her limited education prevented her from obtaining the types of jobs she desired. So, at age 44 she went back to school. She has since earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Paralegal Studies and a Master's degree in Public Policy from Peirce College and Drexel University, respectively. While in college, Harewood was astounded by the dropout statistics which she describes as an epidemic. She reasoned that if she was able to complete her education, others could do it, too. Consequently, she chose to investigate the dropout situation in the United States for her master's thesis. Thereafter, she made a commitment to motivate students to persevere as they navigated their educational journeys and to challenge dropouts to become dream makers. This was the impetus for her first book - I Did It, You Can, Too! Harewood's public appearances have included interviews on the Urban Connections, Beacon of Light, Breakthrough Success Podcasts, and guest appearances on the National Communications Network (NCN) and Channel 9 News, abroad. Harewood is a federal employee. When she's not functioning in that capacity, she conducts motivational workshops and seminars encouraging victims of abuse to rise above their circumstances, inspiring young people to stay in school and challenging dropouts to become dream-makers. She lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with her husband and has three adult children.
