Ever since sixteen-year-old Tabitha Fortune was a child growing up in Rim, South Dakota, she''s heard stories about ghost horses-nightmare creatures whose giant bones haunt the sandstone cliffs near the Badlands. When paleontologist Dr. Phineas X. Parker announces plans to dig for these bones, Tabitha vows to join his crew. But this is 1899, and the world has different expectations for young women. Tabitha''s preacher father urges her to abandon her interest in science. "Pray for a godly husband", he lectures, "not a godless education." Even Dr. Parker discourages Tabitha, saying, "Vertebrate paleontology is no place for a lady." That leaves Tabitha with just one choice-and being a "lady" has nothing to do with it.

This book is about a woman fighting for justice, her cry silenced. An inmate, abused, raped, whose cries were ignored. I took my fight to the streets with a Grand Jury Petition, after begging the District Attorney in Tulsa for help. From prison walls I took on the battle to stop prison rapes. I begged for help but my voice was not heard because of the Silent Coalition. The State Driver Examiner that raped me was never charged, being represented by the State of Oklahoma Attorney General''s office. I took my fight to Washington, to no avail. I grew up in Cushing, Oklahoma. My parents worked in the cotton fields. I am the seventh of eight children, the baby girl, a Child of God, married to a wonderful man, mother of one, Maurice, grandmother of one, Kyante. I owned several beauty shops. I love fighting for inmates'' rights and am a proud fighter for civil rights. I love Gospel music. I stand on faith and God''s word. My book was inspired by the pain and suffering that life dealt me.

Perhaps the most misunderstood Person among the body of Christ is the Holy Spirit and the role He plays in the life of the Believer. On the night before Jesus'' crucifixion, He made one of the most astounding statements of His whole ministry. "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you." John 16:7 Jesus was saying it was more beneficial for us to have the ministry of the Holy Spirit than it was to have Jesus present with us in His physical body! It is the Holy Spirit of God who brings conviction to the unbeliever and causes him to see the truth of the gospel in a clear light. It is the Holy Spirit who "woos" the sinner to come. He is like a giant magnet drawing you to Christ. He is the One who awakens in man the love of His heavenly Father toward him. This book is about the love of our heavenly Father for all mankind and His desire to fellowship with him. It is about the Holy Spirit''s role in salvation and His ministry in the life of the Believer.

I have a message for you. However, this message won''t be easy for you to hear. It will likely challenge your very idea of yourself -- the identity you have worked so hard to construct for however many years you have lived past the time of your fall from innocence. I want you to discover through what I have to say that we are indeed fallen angels, which means we are divine creatures, but we live in the face of the death of our mortal bodies and the loss of everything that we have used to piece and hold ourselves together. This is a terrible challenge, yet it has been given to us by a good God. I have written these essays from my own experience. Some of what I have to say may have been classified heretical by whatever faith you have inherited or adopted for yourself. But all real heresy is based in the belief and the need of the human spirit/soul to be equal to its creator. The source of this need is hidden from our view because it comes from the level of ourselves that is beneath our conscious minds. We don''t realize what motivates us from deep inside ourselves, but we always trust it for that very reason. However, it is also the source of self-condemnation. We have designed our religions to alleviate guilt, and to help us believe in our struggle to believe that we are safe in our chosen identities. This solution, however, is based in judgment (the knowledge of good and evil). We use judgment in order to define a self in relation to something outside ourselves -- usually other people. They are "us" or "not us". "Us" is good, and "not us" is evil. This is the essence of what we call love, and also of resentment, hatred, and war. The devil, also known as the satan, is hidden inside us. It is the adversary and accuser both of God and of our mortal selves. Our task here on earth is to win the battle against the divine fallen part of ourselves, and to raise it up along with our bodies of flesh. I hope to prove to you from the Bible and from reason that this is our shared human challenge, and that you can and will win the battle. We are all children of one parent, who is God. As the best possible parent, He loves and intends to save every one of us. The fiery furnace is the power of His love. It is Him, and He burns away the dross. The light at the end of the tunnel of torment on this fallen earth is inner peace, love, and joy, now and forever. The battle is already won in heaven, and heaven already exists. Fear not!

Fiery trials, like a controlled fire, leads to better growth. After a controlled fire, the soil is richer, and the trees are stronger. Likewise, after a fiery trial the Christian is stronger, and their character is richer. Adversity enters the Christian''s life only through, and by, the permission of God. It doesn''t come to weaken us, but to strengthen us. When we learn how to tap into God''s anointing for our breakthrough, we can then be instrumental in blessing others, as God has blessed us. "Tried by Fire, Shaped by Grace" is about the struggles Christians encounter during their faith journey, and God''s divine interventions. It will teach you how to walk by faith, and encourage you on this Christian journey. It will inspire you when your light of hope grows dim, and comfort you when despair constrains your progress. Excerpts from "Tried by Fire, Shaped by Grace": The anointing is given to empower you for the greater works ahead. Job likened the trying of his faith to that of gold being purged of its impurities. Job was tested to see if he would remain faithful to God when God doesn''t answer, and to reveal unto others the awesome resurrecting power of God to restore double, and even more, what Satan steals.
