S.L. from Jacksonville, FL wrote this; I just finished your book and it was great. There were times when I was laughing, times when I was questioning what I would have done and times when I was on the verge of tears. This has allowed me to accept the fact that life is full of tribulations but it is how you pick yourself up and move along that makes you the person you are. I am glad that I had an opportunity to read your book. Thank you so Much!!! F.G. from Roseville, CA wrote this: This book is a heart searcher when facing adversity, amongst family, friends and especially the family of God. This book encourages you to continue this journey even when you are misunderstood. JRW from Mississippi wrote this: I THINK THIS BOOK SHOULD BE MADE A MOVIE! Your book is Awesome. It was so good, I had to call a friend and read a section of it to them on the phone ha ha. Marsha Friedman-CEO of EMSI Forsaking All by Phyllis Sanders was a fascinating, enjoyable and educational read. Phyllis tells her story in a way that you feel as though you are right there with her experiencing her hardships and emotions. But the best part was being there with her when her life took the turn it did to help others. Her life lessons are for everyone, young and old, men and women alike. I highly recommend this book as a source of guidance and inspiration to all! A reviewer had this to say: If you are looking for a book that captures your heart, mind and soul, I recommend reading Forsaking ALL. This book will have you on the edge of your seat. The writer shares her heart so intensely that you can feel it as you read. Forsaking All is a book that reaches all people Christian and non Christian. It's full of so much compassion as you read that you don't want to put it down. I can say there is hope for tomorrow. The book reaches to marriage, single, old, young men and women, to all nationalities and yes, even 'the church'. Her name fits her well, Teacher Sanders. Again I highly recommend reading 'Forsaking All' you won't be disappointed. L.F. from Jacksonville, FL wrote this: Your book has deeply touched me in a way that no other book has. Your story is one that many women can relate to but probably not one that many of us could say we would play out the same way. Your strength and conviction are unquestionable. Thank you for writing your story and I cannot wait to read the rest of the story. Jones wrote this: This book was very delightful. It not only encouraged me but it also gave me strength to go on to my own spiritual Destiny. Very inspiring! R.R. from Navarre, FL wrote this: Your book was very good. I really enjoyed it. I read it in one night. I am really thankful that you were with the Lord through all this because I really don’t think an unsaved person could have made it without somebody getting hurt. I pray that a lot of women will hear about it and buy it, It truly blessed me. A reviewer from Virginia had this to say: The book Forsaking All was full of love and truth. The writer really hits many crucial points on the topic of God and our marital relationships. Truly wonderful Victoria from Jacksonville FL wrote this: There are so many things that I can relate to in this book. Thank you for not being ashamed. Yes, I am in awe... There were things that I understood very personally and there were some things that I did not comprehend; however, there is so much strength throughout the pages of this book. I must admit that I was somewhat grieved about certain decisions in the book. However, I just would like to say thanks for your honesty about so many challenges that people face. From relational, to emotional and financially. Thanks for being so bold. T.L.T wrote this This was truly a book you would want to read straight through, however I savored the pages of this read. Written in such a way, I could have been a fly on the wall witnessing it all. "Teacher"Phyllis I was Empowered by your Faith, Strength, Obedience, Patience and Love. I felt such a gut wrenching pain, but oh how Awesome God is, if we just abide in him... Glory be to God the Father Son and Holy Spirit:-) RB Wrote this: I've read this awesome, powerful book. It was truly a blessing from the LORD. And when you start reading it, you can't put it down. My prayer is that the Lord continues to bless all of your endeavors my sister. V Elizabeth had this to say: Sister Phyllis, what a powerful testimony and a blessing for all to read. Thanks for not being afraid to share. You are truly the epitome of one of God's children; the obedient one; the follower; the one that "Forsook All" in his name. May God continue to bless you and your family abundantly and with words of encouragement, inspiration and joy. Peace and Blessings Always Sister Angie wrote this: I have started reading your book, it is very interesting and almost overwhelming to me. A very good read and an awesome testimony. Some of the things that was said in the book really opened my eyes to be more in tune with God. Your whole book is basically saying living your life for God is not for anyone’s convenience, it is for his glory. It is to relinquish one’s agenda to God’s calling and/or agenda. A very tall order, but it can be done. Dynamic book. !!!!! Brother DS of Jacksonville FL wrote this: This is a wonderful book full of hope, encouragement, strength, challenge, and change. The book causes you to really ask yourself, "Will I truly forsake all?" The more I read, the more my heart was drawn to the above question. This is a question everyone must ask themselves in this life. Thank you for your boldness and obedience in writing such an open and honest book. Adrienne of Jacksonville FL had this to say: It's been about a month or so since I've read your book and still today it has impacted my life. Even when dealing with the challenges of everyday life, I can reflect on the principles that I've learned from your book. I've learned that everyone has a forsaking all place. If you are a Christian, living and walking with the Lord Truthfully, You Will, have a forsaking all experience or two, or more. The important thing to glean is the process we are to follow while there. In your book, you demonstrated the total process. From 1)long suffering, 2)obeying GOD completely anyway, 3)giving up the very thing one holds most dear, 4)Trusting HIM for Everything, 5)Serving GOD w/ Love and Joy while Healing, to seeing the manifestation of HIS blessings. Your book expressed very clearly the very biblical principles you teach. You are an excellent teacher because you live the Word of GOD that you Teach. Thank You for being an effective witness with evidence.I Love you Sis, God Bless you and Thank you for being for real. A.J.R. of the United Kingdom wrote this: I have read your book, and truly you are a VERY strong individual (praise God). The balance was just right – no bitterness came across at all (and I think that I had problems!). 1 Corinthians 10:13 really does come to mind CT of Arkansas had this to say: I became aware of Teacher Sanders through a mutual friend and mentor. The greatest blessing to me came through examining myself to see if I was in the Faith. After reading her testimony and seeing how God led her through that journey and brought her to a Wealthy Place, I couldn't help but praise God for her overcoming! It is too easy to judge someone else. It is much harder to see someone else's struggle and your own weaknesses at the same time. My heart has been changed and my eyes enlightened. I'm thankful for her courage to share the story and God's grace to bless her and cause her to be a blessing to others. I am better for reading the book. I don't see issues as black or white, right or wrong anymore. There is an area covered by God's grace that we all need at some time in our lives. Thank you Teacher Sanders for letting us know not to put God in a box. To God be the Glory! Tracy G. from the United Kingdom wrote this: Phyllis, I just got in from Switzerland last night. I read your book while I was there and you hit sooo many true-to-life points. Your book was truly remarkable, but let's face it, it's your spiritual commentary that was "Off The Hook!!!" Phyllis, girl, you were on-point in every possible way...you can throw a great spiritual body blow and a person won't even know what hit'em, ha! Ha! Sis, I can't wait for the next book. God certainly blessed your hands when you wrote it...WOW! KJ of Florida wrote this “O taste and see that the Lord (our God) is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him.” Psalms 34:8 And you will take refuge in the anointed words of Sis. Phyllis and this wonderful book, “Forsaking All”. Never before have I read a book filled with such honesty, openness and love. I became absorbed from the first page and could not put it down. You will laugh, cry, and be amazed by the wonderful saving grace of God. This is a must read for every woman who has encountered abuse of any kind. This book will reveal to you that God does heal and that you can reclaim your life (no matter what the circumstances are). This book will also help you understand you are empowered by the authority of God to walk into your “new anointing” of freedom in Christ. 2 Corinthians 2:16 says, “For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing”. Sis. Phyllis’ words reflect the sweet smelling aroma of Christ. You know this is a woman who has spent many hours in the presence of God. And through her obedience to his Word has received tremendous healing, healing that you can receive also. Let me encourage you to read this book. You will be forever changed and challenged to surrender your problems, issues and life to the Lord; and through your obedience to His Word receive direction, peace and purpose for your life. Be blessed in Jesus Name! Prophetess Tammy Hooper of Oklahoma City had this to say: Teacher Sanders book "Forsaking All" is a great epitome of what true obedience is. She openly exposes herself in an effort to free others. Because of the joy set before her, she endured her cross, despising the shame not only to the obedience of our Heavenly Father, but also in that He would use her to sound the alarm on the silent torment of mental and emotional abuse. "Forsaking All" is very provocative and liberating. It made me laugh, it made me sad and at times left me speechless. You will be blessed and encouraged and I believe, most of all persuaded to examine your own personal relationship with the Father, His precious Son Jesus Christ and His wonderful Holy Spirit. Thank you Teacher Sanders and God Bless you. Shirlene Scott of Jacksonville said this: There is Hope throughout the pages of this incredible book! I am not a woman who has gone through an abusive relationship; however, I have received Godly strength from the pages of this book. While reading “Forsaking All”, I found myself examining my walk and obedience to the Lord. And I began to make adjustments in the area of my thinking towards situations that try to keep me contained as a believer. Teacher Sanders captures the hearts of her readers through her integrity, honesty and most of all her love and obedience unto her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I found this book very practical in the teachings from the Word of God. I have been reminded and encouraged by Teacher Sanders to confront every situation with the Word of God! I thank God for you Sis. Phyllis “Sunshine” B.J. from Port Orange, FL wrote this: The story of Forsaking All is a journey in ones life that not many are able to walk out. It goes against the tradition of man and makes one look at his own life and wonder who he is seeking after. I found it a challenge to my own preconceived ideas and wonder how I have limited God in my own journey. Thank you Phyllis for letting us walk with you on your journey, and encouraging us to seek after the one who can see beyond our today and into our tomorrow. I look forward to hearing more of what God is doing in your life. Pastor Maurice Franks in England said this: The author faithfully drove nearly 3 hours 'round-trip' every Sunday to my church in England. She was going through a healing process and rose from being a victim of life to being victorious and teaching and encouraging others. This book is powerfully written, real and very difficult to put down. An outstanding testimony that has revived me to forsake all for God. R.B. from Kathleen, Georgia wrote this: Good morning TEACHER, I wanted you to know that I finished reading your book and was very inspired, and awed at how GOD has used you to share your story with others. I am really fortunate that you were in a season of my life. The Saturday Women’s Study helped me to get closer to GOD. And I know that you have to go through to get to the other side. I have been seeking his face and I know for me the more I seek GOD’s face he will manifest himself to me. You have again inspired me to stay in the word for myself. I know for me that I really have to depend on GOD totally and not on Man!! |
