Introduction

God has inspired Dr. Evelyn Thomas to write this book to reach a diversity of people, especially the millennials. Many single parents today do not have the guidance of the village that older parents once knew. The village comprised older men and women of the community that injected their wisdom into the younger generation to help prepare them for adulthood. Today, it appears that the village has fallen asleep. Bridging the gap between the children and the village today is one of the purposes of writing # I Am All In.

Purpose of the Book

Many children have turned to the media, peers or have been left to themselves to choose the right trajectory. This book provides insight for building great marriages, enhancing dating skills, career development, job ethics, financial future, ministries, and relationship with God. This is a one-stop book.

Dedication and Acknowledgments

I warmly dedicate this book to my three wonderful daughters, Carla, Dana, and Shandra, as well as my seven grandchildren and my sister Christine.

I acknowledge Apostle McKinley August, senior pastor of Cathedral of Praise Ministries, Beaumont, Texas. He is my spiritual father and overseer. He and his church family have been a great inspiration to me. I also thank Pastor Stanley Harris of Beaumont, Texas, who has always inspired me to stand and see the salvation of the Lord.

Special thanks to my church family for your prayers, support, and love.
