About the Author
Phill Batiste
My name is Phill Batiste, and I was born in an original setting at New Orleans’ famous Charity Hospital. I was a 7th grade drop-out who, while in prison, acquired a GED and 1 ½ years of college. Although one does not always get the opportunity to write his/her autobiography about self; at first I had a very difficult time expressing my thoughts and then putting them on paper for the world to see. Somehow, God allowed me to go into a spiritual process in order for Him to manifest his Holy presence so that the Holy Ghost could have His way with me. Today, I have taken upon the challenge that one day God would allow me to know in time what profound effect this book will have on others who are afraid of opening doors that have been hidden from public scrutiny for many years. In asking the Lord for his divine guidance, I felt my approach to open my past had to be dealt with very delicately with a force and with courage that I didn’t even know I possessed. It was with this undying declaration that I had to relinquish my hold on what was wrong and allow the Holy Spirit to show me what is right. Many times in our lives, we fail to do those things that are right because for many of us doing those things that are wrong somehow is more appealing to our insatiable appetite. The option for questioning what is wrong is not a choice or a matter for what is right. Yet, we try to fuse together the two in order to create a situation that may leave us compromising for days with the understanding of not acknowledging anything. Meanwhile, to hold on or to re-establish a positive position will eventually give us the hindsight that is needed to understand and reaffirm the truthfulness of what is right, and for heaven’s sake who will justifiably be willing to say who was wrong: And in the end, God will say, “All is well.”
