"There have been many seasons in my life where I was at a very low, desolate place and felt like I was all alone. During these times, I felt there was no one I could call who would understand what I was going through; and just when I thought all hope was gone, I heard a small, still voice say to me, 'Be ye encouraged!' " So begins Tomiko Starling's uplifting exhortation to seek God's encouragement in the daily circumstances of life that affect us all. Page after page, the message thunders loud and clear-"No matter the problem, find courage in God. No matter the trial, He has the answer." Starling masterfully takes truths from the Word of God and lays a foundation for a faith-filled life of victory and blessing. Covering the full spectrum of life, she tackles the issues of increasing in boldness, showing compassion, conquering fear, developing faith, hearing God's voice, loving your enemies, fostering thankfulness, and on the list goes. No matter the problem or difficulty you face, you'll find the encouragement and help you need to effect true and lasting change in your life. So grab a cup of coffee or tea, settle into a cozy, comfortable chair, and get ready to be ye encouraged! Tomiko Starling has endured many trials and tribulations in her life, but with the help of God and His Word, she has made it through them all. Be Ye Encouraged is the result of a seven-month adventure with God as He gave her the titles and the messages as she rode to work each day on a commuter bus. Having found encouragement for herself, she now freely shares that same encouragement with others. Married and the mother of three children, Starling currently resides with her family in northern Virginia.
