"Two of the greatest battles people face in coping with their own Jonah experience of darkness and fear, are the twin evils of Shame and Guilt. Hiding our pain from others due to embarrassment only makes the darkness worse. Neither our society nor the church has done very well in dealing with mental illness. Katrena has bravely shared her personal experience within her home and her marriage, and can testify that Jesus can bring us into the light. He can banish Shame and Guilt, and help us to love and forgive those who have caused us such pain. Like Jonah we can find our way back to the light when we "remember the Lord and cry out to Him." Dr. James Seymour, Pastor, North Haven Church; and Religious Studies Professor, Saint Augustine's University.
"God's think Tank is a self-help tool that shares a familiar account from a Christian perspective. The writer shares an action plan given by God only after awakening her spirit through abuse, disobedience, grief, and denial. However, responsibility does take its rightful place.
Upon reading this awesome journey it is my prayer that you experience the removal of the grave clothes from the burial of abuse, mental health effects, loneliness and all manner of diseases and illnesses. May it catapult you into your garment of praise, awareness via clarity and the love of both (my sister) Katrena and God. Read Ye now ... God's Think Tank."
Dr. Cynthia W. Peppers, QMHP
"In God's Think Tank, Katrena Kilpatrick lays bare her heart in sharing her journey which led to a closer walk with the Lord. Her transparency in dealing with issues that are often considered to be taboo and off limits by many yields tremendous insights into God's ultimate purposes and plans for our lives.
From beginning to end, with a wide range of emotions in between, the reader sees how a deepening dependency on God resulted in a life-changing discovery-that despite it all, His will for our lives always prevails. It is my prayer that reading it will bless you as much as it has blessed me."
Pastor Frank T. White, Sr., Antioch Bible Fellowship, Raleigh, NC
