TOUCH THE SOURCE USE YOUR SUBSTANCE

About the Book

The Birthing of Touch the Source, use your substance, was birth through the leading of the Holy Ghost. The spirit of God spoke to the writer, first in April 2008 about what her assignment would be: therefore, her first book name would be How to know God in a greater way. However, this endeavorment process of writing and having many trials and tribulations came to a stop. The writer knew that much was needed to complete the great assignment. She began to write another creation of God a book of poetry with the leading of the Holy Ghost in March 2009. The writer says that our God is a creator of all things and has many strategies for his people. This book of poetry is the writer first book and to God be the Glory as the head of her life. You see God Love you and the writer, so much that he touches all. The writer says God has not cast you away.


Note From Ms. Lund:

Dear Claudia-

Thank you for sharing your beautiful book with me. Your work is a serendipitous gift to the reader. You have combined beautifully your poetry with scripture and tied the package together with a shiny red ribbon – your faith and passion. All in all, it’s a “labor of love” well done. Kudos! I try and “center” in the Lord each day under the shadow f His wings. Thanks again. God bless you.
