Lord, I Love You! First and foremost, I give thanks and admiration to God and Jesus, my Savior for touching me when I was a small child. I'm grateful for You providing those persons in my life who played an essential part in reaching this milestone in the production of my book. Lord, this is all Your handiwork. You breathed on me these amazing gifts and talents of inspirational writings, teachings, and dancing that touch and inspire lives while; bringing them closer to You and ministers of Your Amazing Love and Forgiving Grace. Lord, I couldn't live a day without You and for this, I give You praise! it is because of You I am an Author/Publisher & Speaker. Chaitanya Bhange - Thanks for giving me the chance to comment on such an expressive article. I want you to continue to write such articles and inspire others. Hope I am not expecting wrong and much of you. Mary Barnes - Through the power of the Holy Spirit, Vernita has given us hope, edified, and thrown out lifelines to those of us who have felt like we were sinking. One day, I'm going to give you a bear hug! Cher Duncombe - You are like a reflection pool, glowing in the positive and transcending all obstacles. Your reflection then glows in others. Mark Howard - Absolutely fabulously! Thank you for all you do for us all in this world. YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH TESTIMONIALS Harvey and Jackie Lott - My wife, Jackie, and I met Minister Vernita when we became members at Beth-El Love Christian Center in Orange, NJ. It was not long before we noticed how mighty this quiet and humble servant of Jesus Christ really is. She has written original plays that have successfully led people to Christ. She has organized concerts and Praise and Worship conferences. The list is a lengthy but living testimony of her love for God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Even in the struggles, she has overcome them with praise. We consider her not only an example of faith and mentor, but a true inspiration to serve God fully. LYNN "Omnipeace" - P raise the Lord my dearest sister in Christ. I am elated to have been a part of this journey with you. Vernita, you have certainly allowed God to use you to bring forth this prolific inspiration of writing that shall free a lot of folks in getting to know him for the first time or rekindle their relationship with him- again. I am so elated with your chapter about forgiveness for the world has gotten it wrong in believing forgiveness does not require forgetting. It is purely part of the process. From your biblical-based writings, when one forgives another, it is just freeing s the one being forgiven. Lisa Castrracane - Ms. Venita writes with such heart-filled passion. I look forward to her writings since they provide inspiration and encouragement to the heart, mind, and soul. Ms. Vernita derives her strength from the Lord. She captures his spirit in her writings by spreading love, hope, faith. She reminds us that no matter what storm we are going through that we are never alone and things will get better. She is a guiding light through the darkness. Her teachings remind me of TD Jakes of the Potter Hous, telling people to get ready for their breakthrough, or Joel Osteen who says; "if God has put a period on something don't put a question mark on it, but accept the blessing." We may not always see what we are going through as a blessing but, we become stronger because of it. I wish Vernita all the best in her future endeavors. She will continue to touch people with her teachings and be a blessing on her spiritual journey throughout life. Raven Price - I can say nothing but good things about Vernita. This woman is the epitome of grace and happiness. I'm totally jealous!!! From the first day we meet online, Vernita has encouraged me with love and inspiration. When she began freelancing inspirational articles and had them published online, I was charmed and captivated. Her words ring true throughout my being and I share and repost her loving words throughout social media. Everyone needs love and acceptance and this woman knows how to dish it out in a Christian manner that is not condemning or pretentious. I count Vernita as a true blessing that walked in my life. You would too if you let her inside your heart. God Bless!

Our working relationship was one of professionalism and fun. I know that our working relationship will continue, and I look forward to working with her on my next book.” Connie Dionne, Author of Kamillon Rose “Do you have a story to tell, something to teach, what to write a book?

Her passion goes beyond just being a publisher but a friend and prayer partner. I would not be a pu blished author today if it were not for Ms. Vernita working with me and helping me through the process. She is so knowledgeable and is not in business just for the money, but to be a blessing to everyone. She has written several books of her own and helped many first-time authors publish their books. I am so grateful for her and I highly recommend her services to everyone I know. Saviela Edwards Thorne, Author of Seasons of a Woman's Life ​ This is my first book, and I knew nothing about the mechanics of publishing a book before I wrote this book. Neat helped me through the whole process. She showed me all the administrative requirements of publishing my book, was thorough in editing my book, encouraged me, and worked with me to produce a good product. She was very patient. Neat worked with me as I worked with a friend who did the cover for my book. Since I started hanging out with the homeless four and one-half years ago, I wanted to write a book on homelessness. I first learned that there is such a population in my county, discovered who they really are, and witnessed first-hand the trials they face. I, myself was homeless for a season. Neat helped baptize me into the world of writing a book, a world I was unfamiliar with as I was about the homeless before I started hanging out with them. I've already started another book about a subject that's close to my heart. I plan to have Neat, help me with that. Jeff Drinnan, Author of There Are Homeless In Bucks County -

As an Author/Publisher & Speaker-I Am GRATEFUL To each and everyone for your REVIEW of my book. Your loyalty, support, and encouragement inspire me beyond what you can imagine. UNBELIEVABLY REVEALING OF ONE'S LIFE ONLY TO BE THE REAL EXAMPLE FOR THE READER. KUDOS!!!, August 11, 2015 ​ This review is from Capturing the Spirit of God's Word with Vernita (Paperback) Lynn (Omnipeace) - I was soooo blessed to get a copy of this sad, but victorious book written by Vernita Simmons. It is so revealing, and I give her the utmost respect in revealing some of life's trials. She exposes her life to the reader in being a real example that thru faith we all can move forward to our divine destiny. Her chapter on the principles of forgiveness starts in this eye-opening introduction. Despite popular opinion to forgive IS to forget enabling the release of oneself and then the offender. Chapter 7 shares love, trust, honesty that erupt in abuse, swindle, and deceit on several levels. She reveals so much through the book that you will surely know WHO this woman is and who we all can be. Our greater selves await with our constant holding and re-holding to our faith... Throughout the book, she rides the tides of false starts and missed steps to STEP UP in this God-given masterpiece!!!! Congrats to Vernita Capturing the Spirit of God's Word with Vernita and may God continue to use you. VERNITA SIMMONS -AMAZON AUTHOR PAGE A humble, yet a masterful piece of inspirational literature that is destined for the New York Times Best Seller’s List., August 29, 2015 Mary Barnes This review is from: Capturing the Spirit of God's Word with Vernita (Kindle Edition) “It is ok beloved, you will make it!” Those soothing and comforting words express the sentiment that is conveyed and resonated throughout this divinely inspired, medicinal manuscript. One can feel the presence of the gifted and nurturing author, Vernita Simmons, gently caressing the readers’ hands through a type of “labor and delivery process.” It is as if she is right there on the scene; motivating, stroking, guiding, and empowering every step of the way until “deliverance” is achieved. This book was meticulously dictated to this award-winning servant of the Most High, through the Power of the Holy Ghost. Its objective is to minister hope, help, and healing to those individuals battling major setbacks, disappointments, unforgiveness, etc. Ms. Simmons is not merely mouthing the same old “robotic religious rhetoric” that is sometimes apathetically preached when one is “going through” difficulties. The reader can actually feel her compassion; her heart is in it! In addition, she also shares some of her own experiences as well. She gives us hope! Certainly, God is no respecter of persons. If He allowed Ms. Simmons to prevail victoriously in given situations, would he not do the same for the reader? All of us, at some point in our lives, will experience those dreaded “valley experiences.” This impactful piece of anointed literature serves as an antidote. Why? The engrafted word of God is greatly utilized and permeates throughout; from cover to cover. Hence, the title, Capturing the Spirit Of God’s Word with Vernita, is aptly suited. This book is a “must-have” and a “must read” for every household. Thank you, Ms. Simmons, for fulfilling your part in your God-given purpose to humanity. As always, the honor and the glory belong to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Inspiring Read, September 25, 201 5 Kathryn Jones - Author of Conquering Your Goliaths This review is from: Capturing The Spirit of God's Word with Vernita (Paperback) Vernita's book of inspiring devotionals may surprise you. Yes, you'll receive all the Bible has to offer, all the words of the Bible as Vernita sees them through the beating of her own heart - but you will discover something more, something just as powerful - her words, her life, her experiences. "Open your heart and come unto Jesus and allow His love to lavish and snuggle you and experience a love as you've never [had] before." "God’s storehouse is overflowing with supplies ~ He is the Ultimate Provider. He never has to take an inventory ~ He never runs out of stock ~ He never has to take an itemized list of goods because His’ supply list is limitless ~ Get ready to see the Lord as “The More Than Enough God” "It is to your advantage to forgive, for in doing so, you choose love over hatred. As you operate in the power of God’s unconditional love and grace, you see the person from the Lord’s perspective. This enables you to show mercy and compassion and render to them what they need instead of what you may feel they deserve... empower these memories as a means to minister and share with others. God will use divine deliverance to set you free through your choice to forgive and exit the revolving door." "Activate solutions that move you forward on the road to a progressive life of wholeness. Surround yourself with those who will help you live a victorious life." Vernita's book is filled with inspiration and hope. Though not perfect in its presentation - there were times I had to move through grammar issues, places I had to read and re-read for clarity- and yet, in the end, I was glad I'd read her book and I hope to be a better person because of it.

WELFARE TO BOOKFARE Don't allow anybody to tell you what you cannot do! AMAZON -AVAILABLE NOW Interview with Deborah Lassiter PROJECT: YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH Interview with Carol Graham -Did You Circumstances Ever Lie to You Being a single parent was not part of my plan. Still, from a small girl growing up in the South, I knew God had a spectacular purpose for me. Likewise, I had those big dreams for myself. Nothing unrealistic, yet, it included going to college, helping the underprivileged, and inspiring others to be who God created them to be. My Big Mama played a pivotal role in the woman I became. Her resilience inspired me to become a writer and never to allow anything to stop me from achieving my goals. She lost her eyesight after her children were grown and had families of their own. So, I would read the Bible to her and join her in her monthly gathering at the Mother’s Board Meetings held at Antioch Baptist Church. Those women of grace poured into my life and gave me a sense of belonging and confidence. So, when I received the report, I was pregnant, I knew I had a precious life; I had to set an example. So, I promised myself that if I did not get married, I would not have any more children. I kept my promise. Years later, I have no regrets because I can share my story and use my inspirational readings to empower countless others. Beloved, regardless of what has happened to you, it is not too late to fulfill the grand plan and purpose the Lord has crafted for you. You may believe you messed up; so badly that nothing can save you now. Dear One, you are not alone. God never left you, and He wants to take you further than you have ever gone before. So, arise and take your place, Daughter of the King and Mighty Man of Valor. Come, join me because God has conquered your enemies. This day, He can turn your challenging circumstances into your greatest triumphs. (1 Samuel 17:41-47). Get Ready! Your Red Carpet Moment has arrived!

I want my devotionals to encourage you to recognize you are stronger than you think. And no matter the season, God is preparing something extraordinary. Listen to her interview with Carol Graham and Deborah Lassiter. ​ ​ Interview with Carol Graham Interview with Deborah Lassiter AVAULABLE NOW 'My Brothers, God wants to use you to impact the world. Howdy Beloved, ​ I’m Vernita, but you can call me Neat or Nita. Come, and travel with me as I share about this devotional that has become a series. This book will empower you to understand your life has a purpose, that tough times don’t last, but tough people do, and to see yourself as God sees you because greatness lies in you. Beloved, you can do what you thought you never could. ​ I know what it is like to have more than enough of God’s blessing and lose everything. Likewise, no one plans to be unemployed and live without a consistent; means of income for three years. And when it happens at the hands of abuse of power by; the head of Human Resources, it can shatter your world. And I share about the pain of betrayal, along with how I went from being a single parent on welfare to publishing four books within a year. Though my faith and enthusiasm have inspired and encouraged countless others across the globe, I experienced what it is like to suffer hardships. Still, Vernita knows nobody gains great faith without it being stretched, strained, and tested. ​ When I was a child, I enjoyed playing springboard and climbing trees. Come, travel with the little girl who grew up reading the Bible to her grandmother who was blind. They became trusted companions as she attended the monthly Mother's Board Meetings at Antioch Baptist Church. Her eloquent ways of expressing herself amazed and captivated Vernita. Also, being around the mothers of the church; and hearing them expound on the Word of God provided Vernita with a sense of confidence and belonging. On occasion, they allowed her to comment. In addition to realizing she had a gift for speaking, she later recognized her Big Mama had inspired her to write. Little did Vernita know this would propel her into the plan and purpose God ordained for her life. ​ Her first book, Capturing the Spirit of God’s Word with Vernita is a divinely inspired medicinal devotional. I courageously and candidly share my roughest battles. I show how my grandmother’s unshakable faith in God compelled me to rely on Him no matter what. I reveal what it’s like to seize what the enemy designs to break your spirit, and the Lord uses it to propel you to your destiny. The book is an empowering story that shows how faith, resilience, and God’s amazing love can use your brokenness and make you an extortionary example of beauty for ashes. With the help of my dear friend; Lynn’s exquisite skills guiding me, this story takes readers on a joyful and endearing journey. ​ Together we can make an incredible difference. I encourage you to donate to these worthy causes: Brandon Burlsworth Foundation and Wheels Of Hope Rising Foundation ​ Things changed for her when she went to school as her classmates found it amusing to tease her by calling her; Clarence, the cockeyed lion; from the TV show Born Free. Having a condition known as lazy eye, Vernita recognized she could do nothing about her physical appearance. Still, she realized she had something of value they did not. She had the steadfast faith in God passed down to her from her Big Mama. Vernita emerged herself in Joel 2:28 and came to see herself as God saw her. She knew He had handpicked her for something far more than she could ever imagine. She often said to them, keep your eyes on Vernita because I can show you better than I can tell you. Likewise, she proclaimed, one day, she would write a book. So, Vernita composed her first play at the tender age of nine. It became the catalyst of an incredible gift that has blessed her to become a multiple award-winning Christian author. Vernita says her desire is for those I encounter to be touched and inspired by my enthusiasm in sharing the gift of knowing God, that is ever so present in my life. God has enabled her to bring her writing and speaking talents in a full circle. Vernita likewise gravitated to become a demonstrative praise worshiper. It is another faithful tribute from the heart, which the Lord further developed when she served as a Minister in Training at Beth-El Love Christian Center in Orange, NJ. It was there; that she met the anointed Pastors Robert and the late Dorothy Wilson. They embraced her collective gifts as a Majestic Dance Worshiper and speaker. In November 2010, they allowed her to spearhead her first Praise and Worship Conference. It seems so long ago, before Beth-El, as a single parent, Vernita used; being a recipient of welfare to her advantage. She enrolled in school and graduated with an Associate Degree in Business Administration, from Essex County College. While attending college, she made the Dean’s List. Vernita likewise worked in the work-study program and became their Report Specialist in the Financial Aid Department. In October 1991, she became a Substitute Teacher. Vernita devoted her time working with Pre -K through Adult education. But her area of expertise and heart was; second grade and special education. She often used singing and acting techniques to teach her students. Through this unique method, she watched her children thrive. While working in this position, Vernita says, my unshakable faith in God stirred me to relinquish being a recipient of welfare. It was a significant milestone in my life, and I thought others would be excited too. After all, I was a young African American woman breaking away from the system to improve my life. My caseworker thought I had lost my mind. My cousin asked, “Fool, what you do that for?” Still, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I never regretted it. Her unwavering faith in God, enthusiastic demeanor, and unique teaching techniques earned her the rapport to become a Preferred Substitute Teacher. Vernita shares this incredible story in her book, Welfare to Bookfare . After losing her job to abuse of power, resulting in an extended season of unemployment and no consistent means of income, she became a Freelance Writer. She became well accepted and popularly admired by readers on several social media platforms; she wrote her first book. And a dear friend, Lisa Castracane, inspired her to call it Capturing the Spirit of God’s Word with Vernita. It is a divinely inspired medicinal devotional. It is an empowering story that shows how faith, resilience, and His amazing love can use your brokenness and make you an extraordinary example of beauty for ashes. She says, I courageously and candidly share my toughest battles. I show how my grandmother’s unshakable faith in God compelled me to rely on Him no matter what. I reveal what it is like to seize what the enemy designs to break your spirit, and the Lord uses it to propel you to your destiny. With the help of my dear friend; Lynn’s exquisite skills guiding me, this story takes readers on a joyful and endearing journey. Vernita likewise contributed to online sites such as Community Christian Service Workers. While as Interview Manager at Faith Filled Family Magazine, she not only was a feature writer but interviewed countless prominent Christian artists as well. Vernita contributes to her blog and Amazon Author Page , too. FaithWriters also present her heartwarming devotionals. Also, she received a personal foreword from Marty and Vickie Burlsworth for her book, You Are Good Enough . An invaluable work inspired by Greater , a major motion movie about their family. Vernita enjoys using words to make people feel better. She uses her devotionals to spread faith, hope, and love to anyone who needs a place to unburden the cares of life. It brings her joy devoting her time to impact, equip, and encourage you to see yourself as God sees you, so you can do what you thought you never could. Greatness lies in you. Her book, Welfare to BookFare , is a testament to what the Lord can do when you trust Him no matter what and leave the outcome to Him. It has earned her the noble honor of being the featured guest on Raven’s Price Talk Interview. Carol Graham, the Radio Talk Show Host of Never Give Up Hope, also headlined her. Elder Tannie Hill of; Be the Voice featured her extraordinary journey of transiting from a single parent on welfare to publishing her first four books within a year. She has also been the honored guest on Dovetails with Deborah Lassiter. Vernita’s enthusiastic approach enables her to connect and draw people into the presence of God. It is common to witness her engage with her audience as she gravitated to being an illustrative worshiper and a keynote speaker at Christian conferences, workshops, and women’s events. She also encourages her listeners through her Podcast -God’s Word ~ My Voice , featured on several listening platforms, including Spotify and Apple. When she is not writing, she loves chatting with her adorable grandchildren. Also, she enjoys walking the path as she uses her flags while praying and tearing down strongholds.
