I Once Was Blind: A Book of Lessons for New Believers

Becoming a Christian is the best decision a person can make. Getting the courage to come to the cross, admit you are a sinner, and ask Jesus to be Lord over your life is the start of a new beginning. But what comes next? After receiving salvation, how does one actually "do" the Christian life? Author Ernestine Scovens knows that this can be confusing at first, and she has written a book full of guidance and support for readers. I Once Was Blind: A Book of Lessons for New Believers by Ernestine Scovens is an inspiring book composed of easily understandable lessons that help new believers develop a good foundation on which to build a strong relationship with God. After watching people come to church and give their lives to the Lord only to attend a few services and never return, Ernestine realized that something was missing in the support being provided to recent Christians. Often because of a lack of understanding of the decision they had made, many would end up abandoning their efforts to develop a personal relationship with Christ. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, Ernestine created a resource to help new believers embrace the changes occurring in their spirit and walk in their newfound faith. Including review sections with scriptures and questions for readers to complete as well as enrichment sections which focus on different foundational spiritual principles, I Once Was Blind: A Book of Lessons for New Believers answers questions that readers are bound to have and walks with them as they embark on their faith journey. Ernestine Scovens, native of Baltimore, Maryland, was born on August 10, 1959 and 'born again' some 25 years later. At the age of 34 she suffered a crippling accident causing the loss of her mother and a loss of her faith in God. After 25 years she found her way back to God, and was delivered from alcoholism and divers other infirmities of the flesh. Since rededicating her life to Christ on January 19, 2010 Ernestine has strived to become rooted and grounded in her faith. Her time now centers around studying God's Word, ministering to those in need, and teaching the Word of God whenever possible. Her commitment to helping new believers build a strong foundation in Christ was the inspiration for her first book, I Once Was Blind.
