    About this ebook

    CRESTON, Ohio Author Janis Lloyd releases "A Gift of Hope", a collection of inspiring and prayerful poetry, rhymes and verses enhanced by her personal photography that bring encouragement to readers while exalting the virtue of faith and the life-changing power of God.

    Lloyd is well versed in using her craft to celebrate birthdays and other family festivities, utilizing humor and japery to bring forth boisterous guffaws from everyone. In this book, her literary works exude both humor and inspiration, celebrating the glory of the Lord through verse, song and scriptures. Jesus Christ is the gift from God. People find comfort in knowing that they can turn to him in times of need and he can direct their lives to the right path. In a turbulent time of history, one needs to see a ray of hope and it can be found in him. Lloyd's book will not only inspire readers, it will also strengthen their faith.

    "A Gift of Hope" is a slice of life that everyone can relate to, and it is written with compassion, truth, humor and love.

      INTRO TO BOOK:

      This book has been a true labor of love in progress for the last 3 yrs. It all started with my late husband, Michael R. Revalee, who was the Musical Director at one of my client’s church (I’m a life-long hairstylist). We met, fell in love and it is then that I fell in love with Jesus Christ too. Mike and his pastor Rev. Dick Seawright exposed me to the Christian life at a time when my life was in turmoil. Mike and I shared the love of music and together we developed our music ministry called the Agape Singers.

      This book is all about true hope in Jesus Christ. Especially at such a turbulent time in history today knowing we can turn to Him for all our needs and He will direct our paths.
