In this book, I talk about the trials and tests that I endured that led me to the Rock. You may wonder, "What is the Rock or Who is the Rock?" Growing up in a home of Christian parents, I learned the importance of prayer, faith, and favor. These virtues helped me to understand that Jesus is the Rock. Whatever you are going through, you can always lean on The Rock, go to The Rock, or stand on The Rock. God will see you through, just like The Rock saw me through. However, you should fellowship with The Rock daily through prayer, fasting, and reading His Word. Just those things alone will give you peace in life's situations. After reading this book, I want my readers to establish a strong and rich foundation in God. I also desire for each of you to not only have a relationship but a true fellowship with God daily.
