Xlibris Publishing introduces Christopher Maskey, author of It Shall Be Given.
Please briefly describe your book.
The name of the book that I had published is entitled, “It Shall Be Given”. Throughout my life I have been battling with death in my family and friends.
First and foremost I want to give God all of the praise and glory for the completion of this book, and recognize the Holy Spirit being fully behind the creative process of it all. The name of the book that I am publishing is called, “It Shall Be Given”. As humans we all have a story to tell, and this book is a true story based on the last 34 years of my complicated life. For years, I have been told that my unique story needed to be heard in hopes that it can inspire others who maybe going through the same things I had gone through. Miracles happen every day, and my life story is nothing short of just that. Since a child, I had witnessed death on a scale that no child should have to endure. This story is my testament of faith and victory through Jesus Christ, proving that through prayer and faith in what was accomplished at the cross then miracles can and will take place. All we have to do is ask, and it shall be given!
Who is the author “behind” the book?
Who is Christopher Maskey?? Well above all, I am a born again Christian and devoted follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. My love for Jesus and what He has personally done in my life is the most important thing to me and my writing purpose. Through my books, I intend on helping others to see how important a life devoted to Jesus Christ really is. “It Shall Be Given” is my very first literary piece, and if the Holy Spirit directs me to write more books in the future then I will continue to do so.
Do you have any particular literary influences that have helped you develop in your genre, subject and style? Feel free to add any personal information here about your other interests.
My literary influences are based on the Word of God. The Bible is the most important book ever written and has helped save the lives and souls of millions and millions of people all around the world. Throughout my book “It Shall Be Given”, you will find Biblical scripture that 100% accurately backs up the things I talk about throughout the story. I look to the Bible for inspiration not just in writing my books, but in my everyday life as well. I encourage you all to study the King James Version which is the most accurate word for word translation available. What better author to get inspired from the God Himself?
What inspired you to write your book, and how long did it take you to finish it?
The inspiration behind, “It Shall Be Given” is all given to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I once heard a pastor say, “The greater the calling the greater the test”. My life and what I have been through has been a definite test, and this book is the story of a young man trying to find out what my “calling” will be.
Xlibris will return with Christopher Maskey in Part 2.
