This book is written for one purpose. That purpose is to tell people what to do to get out of their situations. Life is all about making decisions. This book is entitled God Is Always in My Shadow because God is always with me. Sometimes your shadow is in front of you, sometimes it is beside you, and at other times, it is behind you. Most of the time, God is in front of me, leading me where to go and what to do. But the last few years he has had to walk beside me a lot to hold my hand, to be my friend, and to carry me when I didn't have the strength. The rest of the time, he has been behind me to give me that shove to go in the direction that he would have me go. Thank you, God, for always being in my shadow and allowing me to share these experiences of my life with others. I pray there are some answers in this book to lead and guide you.
