am i ready? a spiritual guide to the marital journey
Just like the manufacturer of a product that provides manual, which will guide the users to successfully use or operate a particular product, this book introduces the product (marriage); its use and importance; and provides the manual (principles of God), which will enhance the effective use or operation of the product. This book goes to the root of marital union, which is the stage of choosing a partner and emphasises the importance of choosing the right person. It further provides insights into having a blissful marriage as God intended, for those who had already chosen. You can still have recourse to your already discarded manual for your product that had been hitherto malfunctioning to begin to function as the manufacturer intended.

Life is full of highs and lows, and four friends—Rudy, Morgan, Alex, and Ola, are about to face their lowest lows amid their highest highs. After losing her two daughters in a fatal car crash, Rudy ends her loveless marriage. But just when she thinks the worst is over, she will be confronted by a loss that truly shakes her to the core. Morgan, on the other hand, is still recovering from the shock of her husband’s affair with her friend, Alex, and is doing her best to settle into life as the single-mother of an adopted daughter. Unfortunately, life does not think it has dealt her enough blows yet, and will stretch its prying claws to snatch her sweetest joy. Then there is Alex, who abdicates her throne as the CEO of a reputable hospital to follow her passion—leading a non-profit organization in its quest to build schools all around the world.

While eager to partake in the champagne lifestyle, she begins to take the invaluable things in her life for granted. However, a grave incident will startle and bring her back to earth. Following the turbulent lives of these women in Diamond & Dust, we will discover if they are able to make palatable lemonades from the tart lemons life gives them.
