About the Book:

This book is separated into three different sections. Part I consists of Chapter 1 through Chapter 8 with five questions for Lessons & Reflection at the end of each chapter. Part II is four different chapters with four story testimonies, of each of the women she interviewed for this book, in each chapter. Part III is the inspirational stories pulled from Carmen’s online fitness program she created in 2022 accompanied by scripture and prayer. Carmen prayed over the format of this book, and originally it was supposed to have two instead of three sections to it. God has led Carmen in the design and layout of this book and all the individual details governing this entire book project. The book begins with an overview of how God impacted Carmen’s life and builds from there. It discusses Milestones, Compass, Perseverance, Transformation, Enlightenment, Fruits of the Spirit, Self Confidence, and BluePrint for a life with Jesus Christ in the center. The middle section is composed of sixteen different life story testimonies with Faith being the constant thread interwoven throughout all of these stories. The third section is designed to encourage you to dig deep and reflect on some of the morals and lessons as they apply to your everyday life. It is also written to help pull your heart closer toward Jesus Christ.
