3There comes a time in all of our lives when we experience a cry from within. Whether faced with personal, professional, familial, or financial difficulties, the pressure of life can become overwhelming, and we can feel like we have nowhere to turn. Author Jacqueline Houston knows this cry well, and through her experiences, the Lord gave her a newfound hope and purpose in the midst of painful circumstances. A Virtuous Woman of War: A Cry from Within by Jacqueline Houston is an inspiring book which discusses what to do when we find ourselves in a place of desperation and despair in life. Taking an in-depth look at different passages of the Bible, Jacqueline examines how biblical characters responded to the trials and tribulations of life and how the Lord used the pain to help them grow and fulfill His plans for them. Inspired by the author's cry from within as a result of her and her family being treated as insignificant by those closest to them, the book includes questions for readers to engage in self-reflection and challenges readers to face their struggles and actively trust that the Lord is working their situation out for their good, strengthening themselves into the spiritual warrior God wants them to be with prayer, fasting, and reading the Word daily. If you are ready to move from a victim to a victor and overcome what life has thrown at you, this book is for you. Cry out to the Lord and allow Him to transform your pain into something greater than you could ever imagine My name is Jaqueline Houston and I was born in Arkansas and raised in Michigan. Over the span of my youth I lived in Michigan, Arkansas, and Chicago. My mother died from cancer when I was 7 years old and that is when I moved to Detroit, Michigan to be raised by my aunt. When I became an adult I got married and my husband became a Pastor. I was a First Lady for 10 years before I became a Co-Pastor. I enjoy preaching and teaching the word of God, I love spending time with my family, I love to travel, and I love to sing and worship. My family and I have traveled from city to city and I love every moment of it. I was inspired to write this book because I had a cry from within me that yearned for more. I was tired of the things that I was facing in my life and my heart was crying within me for more of God.
