Deliverance is the debut book of the author Umesh Moudgil. In this part fictional story, author has discussed about the theory of life after death and where we go thereafter. Main character of the story is Raj. He has the chance for redemption and deliverance from the past. Raj was five years old when he came to England with his mother in the 1970s. After being married, Raj started living in the guilt of sending his wife to an early death. He was alone in life at the time of death. The grim reaper came to take him and later Raj found himself standing in front of a Father. Father told him that he could have chosen different path in life but it’s not entirely his fault.
Since his soul is intertwined with Asha’s, so he will meet her in different time and space. Soon, he met Asha floating in air among others but Asha had to go. Raj’s grief was so strong in his heart. I could very well relate to Raj’s character as I am too hard on myself so many times and then people say me not to be so hard on myself.
Will Raj be able to keep his belief in himself and God? Read more about his journey by grabbing a copy of this book. I liked the way story ended. This is a worth reading story. I loved the title of the book as it fits well. If you are interested in reading story of redemption, forgiveness and self-judgment then go ahead with this book.

Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘In my FATHERS’ Steps’ book?
The key challenges I faced were insecurities and boredom. Not knowing if anyone would want to read this book. My team built my confidence when they would review the chapters and tell me things it was doing to help them overcome their own difficulties. They were unaware of my insecurities. In Robert Greene’s book the 50th Law he discuss boredom. I really strived to focus and be more creative when I would get bored of writing the book as many people give up on their greatness because they reach the bored stage of their development. That helped me to push through.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s approach of transcribing lectures into book format such as “Message to the Blackman, Fall of America and Our Saviour Has Arrived” has been a life changer. The book Closing the Gap by Brother Jabril Muhammad. Inner personable interviews of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and style use was very intrigant in my work. My layout concept comes from Robert Greene’s book “Mastery”. I love his approach. I have also studied John MacArthur’s book “The Murder of Jesus” and calming storytelling approach. These authors and books have played major influences in my development.
Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
Most of my favourite spots throughout the country are because of food. I like a good food spot, however Sedona, Arizona brings me peace. I love visiting the red rocks to get away and clear my mind. If I am unable to get there I visit float tank therapy is the next best thing. Tim away from the chaos to focus on self-care.
Q5. Is there lots to do before you drive in and start writing a book?
Just like any great athlete preparing for a big game, there takes much preparation. You strengthen what you know, look for weaknesses in your thoughts, and constantly going over everything to make sure you do not miss a point. Once I think about what I want to convey to my reader to start writing things down and recording thoughts in my phone. From there researching items that confirm my thought. After that its getting git to paper and arranging to what works. That is a short answer lol.
Q6. How long did it take you to write ‘In my FATHERS’ Steps’ book?
On and off for 2 years. I did not want to rush it. Wanted to ensure everything was right and right on time.
Q7. On what all platforms readers can find ‘In my FATHERS’ Steps’ book to buy?
Hannibalmuhammad.com, Amazon, Apple iBooks
Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘In my FATHERS’ Steps’?
The title was very difficult as this book covers so much in it. It’s a book of growth. I reached out to many friends and created a group chat discussing the cover. So many ideas where put in the chat but did not hit. I sent all of the titles and one of my sisters and she rearranged the titles to be what it is. I wanted to turn it down, but it kept sticking. I did not any faces on the cover of the book. I wanted to keep it simple, sleek, and something that created suspense.
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
I like to keep things real. I focus on principles in life. That is universal and timeless. Keeping up with current events and slang helps, but getting to the root of things that a child to an old person can relate to that either stage in life is important.
Q10. Are there any secrets from the book (that aren’t in the blurb), you can share with your readers?
The book does not discuss the maze on the front cover. The book of life is like a maze. There are many paths and road blocks. As we may get far along in life, thinking we are fulfilling our purpose and out of nowhere that path ends. Instead of griping over it we must pivot and adjust to the new path set for us. The previous paths we journeyed through were all developments for the bigger purpose in life. That is why there is a maze on the cover.

This is the story of Matt Spike, a P.I. and is from his Case files. The story is set in 1990s. Matt Spike is not the real name of a detective. Matt’s major in college was Liberal Arts initially but later he changed it to Criminal Justice.

This combo of detective story and magical fantasy is unique. Author’s narration style is what caught my attention the most to this book. Storyline is also pretty intriguing. I am for sure interested to read more books by the author.

Q1. Hello Maám, can you please introduce yourself? Readers would love to know more about you.
Hi There! My name is Kimberly Lecar. I’m a US Army spouse, new mom, worship leader, and author who has been blessed to travel and live abroad. I love encouraging people through my podcast “Crowned in Beauty Podcast,” blog post, testimonies and sharing about Jesus.
Q2. What were the key challenges you faced while writing ‘Crowned in Beauty’ book?
Crowned in Beauty is a devotional testimony book, of how I made Jesus Lord and Savior of my life. When I began writing the devotional, I knew that I had to be vulnerable and share my hardships to encourage my readers. This book challenged me to trust the process, trust in what I read and trust that what I wrote, would serve a purpose. So, essentially the challenge was giving over doubt and judgment by embracing a new season of growth and self-acceptance.
Q3. What books or authors have most influenced your own writing?
“The Broken Way“by Ann Voskamp, “It’s Okay to Not be Okay” by Sheila Walsh, and “Uninvited” by Lysa Terkeurst. I enjoy authors that shed light on their experiences and find deeper meaning as a way to encourage others.
Q4. What’s your favourite spot to visit in your own country? And what makes it so special to you?
Clearwater Beach, Florida. It’s where I gave my life to Christ and also closer to St. Pete beach where married my husband.
Q5. Is there lots to do before you drive in and start writing a book?
Lots of reflection, praying, remembering the “why” I’m writing, and researching. Once I have an outline of each chapter and/or topic, I remind myself of the why.
Q6. How long did it take you to write ‘Crowned in Beauty’ book?
It’s funny, I would say the first “Crowned in Beauty” book I wrote was in 2017. Initially this first draft of 5 chapters was “finished.” But, on a trip to Italy I decided to take my laptop. The trip didn’t turn out that great. My laptop and other valuables were stolen and there went my story. Back to the writing board on January of 2019 and completed within 4 months. Honestly, I’m glad that first draft wasn’t the final book. I still had a lot to learn about myself and what became the final book is what needed to be.
Q7. On what all platforms readers can find ‘Crowned in Beauty’ book to buy?
It’s available at http://www.crownedinbeauty.com, Goodreads, Amazon, Kindle, Audible and online retailers. It’s also available as an Audiobook, which is a plus because the songs are included.
Q8. Tell us about the process of coming up with the book cover and the title ‘Crowned in Beauty’ ?
In the Bible, there is a verse that talks about God replacing Israel’s beauty for their ashes. (Isaiah 61: 3) I thought of how as God’s children we are crowned in His righteousness. I wanted the ashes, rust and dirt to be a reflection of my past being replaced with rubies. The rubies represent our value, being more precious than rubies. (Proverbs 3:15)
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
I beleive this comes with being vulnerable, genuine and confident in who you are. My experiences are specific to me, but they are relatable. I simply share from my heart.

There will be times you may feel uncomfortable, challenged and maybe question your faith. It’s all part of the journey.

I would say my favourite state to visit in the United States would be New Orleans Louisiana just the food and the melting pot of culture is pretty cool to me
Q5. Is there lots to do before you drive in and start writing a book?
I would say yes, a lot of the prep organizing and plain motivating yourself to do it all happen before you ever write or type your first words. I highly recommend an outline of what the overall theme of your book is, what each chapter will focus on with bullet points to keep you on track, you can have a great concept that you place in the wrong chapter if you don’t have a focus. I can be scattered brained at times and go down a rabbit hole lol. So, outlines next to me while I am writing help me keep the focus.
Q6. How long did it take you to write ‘Dear Sons’ book?
About 4-5 months during the height of the pandemic, I hade been working on it in bits and pieces for a while by journaling my thoughts on manhood and fatherhood, but during the pandemic the world was still so I had time to focus on creating, one of the benefits of the pandemic was the world couldn’t go anywhere so I had a lot of time.

What’s interesting about the book cover is that photo is from a family photo shoot we did with a friend of ours named Leah a whole year before I even thought about writing a book, and wanted something that my boys could see years from now and be proud of.
Q9. When writing a book how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?
For myself, prayer, studying the word of God and translating HIS thoughts about topics and scripture, music and watching my children be themselves in their various environments really feeds my creativity.
