The inspired writings from this book, have come from my faith in Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit of Truth! Since my enlightenment (spiritual epiphany) took place in a dark time in my life, while facing a lot of issues, many may doubt the inspiration that the Holy Spirit had on me or these writings; yet, it is very accurate and appropriate to give God all the Glory! Before I started these inspired writings, I had no peace or direction. Now the peace of the Lord has not left me, and I feel born again; a true spiritual rebirth, through faith in Christ Jesus! Most of these writings are inspired, with very little thinking involved. They come all of a sudden and I just write it out, as it comes! Actually trying to express it to the readers now, forms a challenge to me. Trying to explain a spiritual experience, is not an easy task; yet, it is a beautiful experience to go through! I have had the pleasure of sharing these writings all over the world and receiving positive reactions from many people! This book is a compilation of many writings over a 5 year period. The writings in this book consist of many virtues to live by, through faith in Christ Jesus; as well as sharing the love of Christ with the doubters and steadfast believers. Moreover, it is about becoming that which you seek in the world, so you search no more! The spiritual truth is, we never had so much, until we gave it all away! It's the paradoxical reward of giving! Furthermore, my hope in putting this book together, is to reach more people in all kinds of situations and bring light into darkness for those who suffer; as well as make a good day better for many through faith in Christ Jesus!

But an enchanted antique fountain pen possessed by a 100-year-old ghost becomes Mac's ally by magically writing love letters to help him win back Angie's heart. A ghost with a hidden agenda.
To make matters worse, Angie's Italian grandfather is kicked out of his retirement home and moves in with her family.

Just as the letters begin to work their magic, Angie's childhood nemesis, Bianca Lombardi, pounces on their break-up as her opportunity for revenge, and makes a move on Mac. And Gramp's plan would've worked if Angie didn't see Bianca with her arms wrapped around Mac like a starving anaconda.
Now it's up to Marie, Gramps and Tiny to clean up the mess he's made while Mac and the meddling ghost write love letters to Angie.
