Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “Who I Be”?

Annie Brown: The inspiration to write “Who I Be” was given to me from an innate desire from God to see those who struggle with not measuring up to society’s standard learn to love themselves for who they are. Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Annie Brown, author of Who I Be →

“The Realm of the Unseen” is written in allegorical genre to tell the story of the Bride of Christ, the Church, as she attains to the Crown of Life. In order to do so, the heroine, Christianity must become one with the Armor of God that Paul wrote about in Ephesians 6:10-18.

The story depicts the spiritual warfare that transpires behind the scenes as we pray, seek God, stand for answers to prayer, and thereby grow up into Christ in all things.

“The Realm of the Unseen” is unique in that this is the first book written that the Armor of God is animated, comes to life, in allegorical fashion, and speaks. The Shield of Faith, the Helmet of Salvation, the Breastplate of Righteousness, the belt of Truth, all have persona’s and speak according to their persona.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write “The Realm of the Unseen”?

Carolyn D. Ward: I have included how “The Realm of the Unseen” was inspired in my Preface in the book. The desire to write this book was given to me as an assignment by God when I was 12 years old. I was born premature. My parents were told to leave me in the hospital because I would not live, to which they responded that if I were going to die, I would die at home with them.
