Coming Up Higher is written to help draw Christians to the heart of our heavenly Father, Who desires to reveal His heart to His sons and daughters. One of our Father's greatest desires is to show us His perspective of true life in Christ Jesus. We need that so badly because each day proves that we can't trust the world's perspective all around us. We can't also trust our perception of those things. Therefore, we must allow the Holy Spirit to show us our heavenly Father's heart, His perspective, which is the truth of the matter that we can now trust. The Spirit of Truth gives us the absolute truth, so we can now choose to have absolute trust in Him and live victoriously in our daily lives. One of the promises of His absolute truth is seen in Hebrews 13:5-6 (AMPC), where God says He will never leave us or release His hold on us, but assuredly not. He is God Almighty, and nothing can separate us from His love because He is love. Come and see that the Lord is good! Join us in coming up higher as your life's journey.

She's a princess. He's a warrior. They're teenagers and deeply in love. Enjoying an intimate interlude, they're captured and shipped to the West Indies to be enslaved. Kwame fights deranged, fellow captives, and Teala is the object of the captain's lust. The drunk, egotistical captain bypasses a safe port during a storm, and the slave ship sinks off the coast of Jamaica. The teenagers reunite, escape to the mountains and meet Akoo. He adopts them and introduces them to the Maroons, a guerrilla-type, fighting organization of runaway slaves. Akoo is brutally killed by slave hunters, yet Kwame avenges his death . . . in full. A new, deadlier group of slave hunters is formed, with an objective to kill Kwame and the now very pregnant Teala. But Kwame again distinguishes himself in battle to the chagrin of the slave hunters and their sponsor, the ruling British authorities. So now, they want Kwame dead even more than before, offering a huge reward for Kwame's demise. However, the Maroon Chief intercedes. He stages a fake funeral for the teenagers. This deflects attention away, and Teala suffers through labor pains, but escapes with Kwame on rafts and a mule-drawn wagon in a desperate attempt to secure their freedom. This book is dedicated to my daughter Deborah Wright-Watson.
