…About Jacqueline Jakes

“Jacqueline Jakes’ story will never leave me. When faced with challenges
small or large, I think of her. She is an author, proud sister and a
humble wind beneath the wings of the brilliant and masterful Bishop T.
D. Jakes. It was a sleepless night at the St. Regis in New York when I
was aimlessly working the remote control in an effort to find something
on television that would put me to sleep. Instead, a regal woman of
unmistakable knowledge and purposeful poise spoke so eloquently and
profoundly of her ordeal with a complicated brain surgery. As a result,
it was how she chose to live her life, that kept me up all night. The
following day, I began the process of learning everything about her and
her brother’s ministry. These are some of the most exceptional people I
have ever encountered. Given their vast and global success, I believe
they have just begun to scratch the surface. They get it.”

…About God’s Trophy Woman

“The sister of Bishop T. D. Jakes and author of Sister Wit turns her own life experiences into the backbone of this book designed to offer Christian women more than jelly-sweet platitudes about the trials of life…She offers several examples of trophy women–from quadriplegic artist and speaker Joni Eareckson Tada and evangelist Juanita Sapp to her own grandmother, who repeatedly made a way out of now way…Each chapter is accompanied by a poem (surprisingly beautiful and original), reflection questions and a prayer…this is a down to earth look at suffering and its possibly beneficial results.
~ Publisher’s Weekly

“[Jacqueline] is a treasure of wisdom and a voice of love. The woman has never lost her ability to nurture the wounded soul and anchor us in her bountiful bosom of intellect and sage-filled insight. As you read the words she has personally penned, know that this is more than a book. It is more melodious than a song. It is the deep elixir that comes from a heart so rich with life that it glimmers in the dark and has an
effervescence that transcends a pervasive society. I believe that all who read her work will find it to be a light in a dark place.”
~ Bishop T. D. Jakes, from the Foreword

Jacqueline Jakes has the best kind of wisdom-the kind that is earned by triumphing through experiences that turn a test into a glorifying testimony. If you are finally ready for victory over the battles of your life, God’s Trophy Women is your divinely inspired guide.

…About Sister Wit

INSPIRATION

“My sister is filled with wit and wisdom. Her thought-provoking perspectives of life, love and the many pitfalls in between are filled with a tremendous legacy passed to us from our parents who before expiring, hurled us into the wind of life… Even if nothing but an accounting of my sister’s observations while watching over me, this book would still be inspirational enough to prepare the hearts of the thoughtful women who mentor, marry, minister, or muster courage in the midst of the storms.”
~ Bishop T.D. Jakes, Dallas, Texas

VIRTUES

“I have had unique moments with God through you book, Sister Wit. It didn’t take me long to recognize that your book project was God-inspired, God-anointed and will lead weary, tired, sad, poor, broke, as well as energetic, happy, prosperous women to the throne of God as they read page after page.”
~ Dr. Wanda A. Turner, Inglewood, California

ENCOURAGEMENT

“In a world and season that cries for solace and renewed assurance, Jacqueline Jakes brings to us Sister Wit, a touching devotional that connects the human spirit, the simple, yet beautiful occurrences in life and the unfailing promises of God. We are encouraged to not merely survive, but to soar and flourish!

…An epistle in inner healing and restoration, Jakes reflects upon seemingly insurmountable personal challenges whose circumstances she wisely allows God to transform for the enhancement of her personal faith, character, and joy.

…If you are among the thousands who often feel that it is time to throw in the towel, Sister Wit admonishes us to save that same towel for a downpour of opportunity and fulfillment.”
~ Gloria D. Locke, Upscale Magazine

_____

“After surviving the physical and emotional devastation of brain surgery, Jacqueline Jakes, sister of world-renowned preacher and author T.D. Jakes, has emerged as the victor rather than the victim. In Sister Wit, the first-time author reveals God as the root of her inexhaustible courage and the source of her commitment to persevere.

Though specifically written for women, the book addresses issues pertaining to family, love, parenting and trust that transcend traditional gender boundaries and reach the needs of both men and women.

Jakes draws on legendary minds, literary icons and religious leaders for her daily quotes, which will push readers to extend their limits, challenge their minds and increase their faith.

Sister Wit offers a daily dose of encouragement that comforts the soul and the spirit.”
