God's voice came to author Dolores Dodds in her darkest hours. As her thoughts screamed at her-You're worthless! No one wants you, and no one will love you! You're stupid and weak!-the Spirit of God pleaded with her, "Dolores, you know that I am real and that heaven and hell are real. Killing yourself won't end your pain; it will just make it worse."Dolores grew up lost, in pain, hopeless, feeling unloved, and searching for that elusive connection in all the wrong places.
