LaShawnda Jones, author of My God and Me: Listening, Learning and Growing on My Journey
(Jazzy Media, LLC)

My God and Me: Listening, Learning and Growing on My Journey is a collection of snap-shot narratives of my life, concentrating mostly on the years I underwent a spiritual transformation.

A few years ago, I moved to New York City from Milwaukee, WI. Alone. No family, no friends and no job. I learned without a doubt how to trust in the Lord.

I describe this struggle in detail in Self-Image is Everything, a piece in my book. Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… LaShawnda Jones, author of My God and Me →
