Arnetha, a licensed and ordained Minister of the Gospel. However she told God "I don't have time to study your word!" Upon repentance and submissiveness, God anointed her to self publish Power of the Blood at Work-Broken Veil and Beautiful As A Butterfly (revised copy to be updated). Her writings are presented in practical, professional and personal manners to motivate and strengthen the readers spiritual and total well-being. She's in the process of putting in the final chapter of Optimal Peer Mediation and more to come to help eliminate community and school violence. Arnetha's vision is to “Challenge & Inspire You for Greatness in Body, Soul, & Spirit.”
Finally Arnetha's new Christian book titled, Get Through, Going Through Life is based on wearing the whole armor of God, Ephesians 6:11-18. Get Through, Going Through-Life speaks to our hearts; the believer and unbeliever. God wants us to trust and execute the provisions He has already provided you and I to get through, going through life’s overwhelming trials, challenges and disappointments; known as “warfare”. God’s provisions are made through wearing His whole armor and ignited by prayer.
Arnetha shares this process from Cover to Cover, starting with Chapter 1 "I Am" and ending at Chapter 10 "Personal Disclosures" to "Challenge & Inspire YOU for Greatness in Body, Soul, & Spirit."
