  Beyond the Veil: A Handbook for the Worship Journey

  This handbook is for all Worship Leaders and worshippers in general who want to experience God in a different way. The time has come to leave "church as usual" behind and this same idea filters into the genre of Praise and Worship. It is time to meet God in a new place.beyond the veil -that realm between the ripped veil and the glory of His presence. We often let the worship experience take us into the Tabernacle, but we get lost somewhere between the inner court and the Holy of Holies. God is waiting for us to go beyond the dominion of casual worship and enter into the place that enlightens and allows us to receive change. When we change our perception - everything around us will change. Change how you look at things and the things around you will indeed appear different. This all happens in worship. The text holds secrets that have been developed by worshipers from every walk of life. It is full of lessons that we complete every day throughout our Christian walk. See them as "impractical" guidelines because this book is not about the typical ways to enter into worship. You won't find the "how to's" and the "when to's" here. But what you will find are methods that have been tested, tried and proven to cause a memorable and personal encounter with the Lord each time you attempt to meet Him. This handbook outlines common tools that are sometimes overlooked, but when used effectively, can and will enhance one's walk with God.

  My Supreme Dreams Confessions

  By Dr. Stacia Pierce (www.Ministry4Women.com)

             

  I am an over the top dreamer! I go and see new things on the next level and imagine myself accomplishing big things in my life and living a grand lifestyle.

   I frame my future with the words of my mouth and keep faith photos of my dreams before me.

  I use my faith to believe for the impossible because with God all things are possible.

  I believe the good things I have imagined will come to pass in my life for the Word say, “No good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly” (Psalm 84:11).

  I am a woman of faith and patience and know that a dream delayed is not a dream denied.

  I am confident that I will achieve all my dreams and take advantage of opportunities that bring me closer to fulfilling them.

  I am not anxious or frustrated but wait patiently for my due season and thank God for the manifestations.

  I am full of faith and take calculated risk. My life is full of excitement and big adventures.

  I am extremely blessed and live a first-class life. Doors of opportunity are opened everyday for me to live out my dreams. God has prepared great things for me and his favor goes before me.

  I am a visionary and dream achiever. God will do exceeding abundantly above all I can ask or think.   In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Watercolored Pearls, her recently released third novel, deals with the issues of self-esteem, grace, transformation and God's abiding love. It continues to garner rave reviews from readers and book critics. In April 2008, Stacy's first novella, My Mother's Shadow, will be featured in This Far By Faith, an anthology containing three tales about mother and daughter relationships. The anthology (published by Harlequin/Kimani Press) will also feature the short novels of bestselling authors Linda Hudson-Smith and Kendra Norman-Bellamy. A former reporter and columnist for the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Stacy now freelances for a variety of mainstream and faith-based publications. Her work has appeared in the AARP Bulletin, Gospel Today and Heart & Soul magazines, and on www.Crosswalk.com.  She publishes a nationally-distributed electronic newsletter called Life Untapped™ that highlights inspirational fiction and nonfiction authors and writing industry news each month. She also pens an online parenting column for Virginia Governor Tim Kaine's Smart Beginnings initiative and writes Life Notes, a bi-monthly newspaper column for busy mothers. Stacy regularly appears on national and local radio programs to discuss the themes of self-acceptance, forgiveness and unconditional love that provide the foundation for her novels.  Her journalistic work has allowed her to serve as an occasional broadcast reporter, and she has been a featured guest on the Montel Williams Show.

In 2006, Tia was voted as the Breakout Author of the Year by the Open Book Awards of the African American Literary Awards Show.
