IT'S NOT YOURS, KARA
The Father of Light Gives All Gifts

Book Cover & Preview Text
Kara used her divine imagination when she placed her tithes in the tray. She pictured her small hands reaching up and bestowing her ten percent back to the giver of the whole 100%. She saw His ageless hand meeting her halfway, accepting the widow's mite, and slowly wrapping His massive fingers around it before rapturing it up into the vault of heaven. When she sang her solo, she closed her eyes and imagined that she was giving her voice to God, delighting Him in her soulful rendition. She envisioned herself holding angels in her throat and releasing them one at a time to form the lyrics and melody stored in her tender heart. Again, she saw God's ear bent down low and finding a triumph in her sacrifice, as the words formed permanent echoes to repeat their jingling joy for the heavenly host for endless ages.
