Contained within Xulon author Kimberly DeAnn Williamson's compelling new release Mountain Move! ($13.99, paperback, 978-1-60647-130-2; $21.99, hardcover, 978-1-60647-131-9) is a powerful compilation of biblically inspired poetry that will build readers' faith, resurrect their hope, and strengthen their walk with God. More than just inspirational words, the poetry in this book offer readers a great devotional and study guide with references to story after story of witnesses to God's faithfulness to save, deliver, and restore His children.
An ordained minister and well-known speaker, Williamson has overcome Hurricane Katrina, intense political battles, and personal disappointment, yet she still holds strong to her faith. A modern-day testament of perseverance, hope, and evidence that the joy of God supersedes any circumstance, she has used her story to inspire others to not give up in the face of difficulty.
Says the author, "Some of the greatest testimonies in God's Word are those pertaining to situations where all hope seemed lost. The Scripture references and devotional format make Mountain Move! a handy reference to locate just the Scriptures people need to find peace in the midst of their storms and build faith to move every mountain in their life!"
Kimberley DeAnn Williamson, a native of Buffalo, New York, was recruited to New Orleans in 1999. She has served as chief administrative officer of the City of New Orleans and has served in elective office.
