The spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; Is 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; Is 61:3 To appoint unto them... read more »

Description: Why do certain ones suffer more than other people do? That is the question she wanted answered. The path of life is not just a journey but also an assigned one she discovered as she witness the journey of the lives of others. No longer a peripheral bystander she will embark on her own private journey. On this journey, she deals with personal issues that have been handicapping her life. On her path, she encounters hurt and rejection. Hurt can cause a person to do things that they normally would not do. On the heel of self-discovery, she finds that she is not alone and that she was a certain one. Chosen for purpose.

Vanessa I would like to invite you if you have not already to purchase copies of "Love Found Me", my inspirational suspense novel! Cheers!


4.0 out of 5 stars A Heavenly Love, November 11, 2010
By Author O. Wright (Minneapolis, MN USA)This review is from: Love Found Me (Perfect Paperback)
"Love Found Me" by Vanessa Richardson is very warm and superb. From the eye-catching title and cover, and throughout all of the beautiful and decorated sceneries of love and romance, it is a masterpiece of intrigue and suspense interwoven in the grace of God. Indeed, the tone and organization of each scene is filled with grace, harmony and balance. The brilliant and skillful mind of the narrator takes you through a litany of romance and suspense-filled settings leading you to a thrilling and electrifying culmination of satisfaction and enjoyment. In fact, the dramatic capturing of all the secret love schemes and plots keeps you enthralled until the end. Certainly, Love Found Me is an exceptionally good piece of creative work worthy of high recognition and praise. I recommend this brilliant novel for the whole family.


Love Found Me

Phillip hi vanessa! thanks for writing. i had a really nice summer actually, and enjoyed some time off. kind of rare for me, right? i did tour the northwest in june and the southwest in august, and my summer school teaching schedule was light - easy to handle. so i feel pretty well rested and ready to get back into the swing of teaching full time. yesterday was my first day back at school. felt good.

how was your summer? are you working on any writing projects at the moment?

Shawnette Hey, Vanessa...how r u?

Captured is DEFINITELY another excellent read by Mrs. Jenkins...you won't be disappointed...and yes Dominic is related to the LeVeq's...but this is actually a prequel...so I'm not sure how's he related to them...so you can actually read Captured and then go back and read about the other LeVeq's...have a blessed week...and as always Happy Reading :-)

Phillip hi vanessa,

yes, i'm busy as usual. i'm in chicago this weekend playing at a festival. but since it is "back to school", i have all kinds of work getting things going back home with my students. i haven't had a day off in weeks, but i will get an ENTIRE WEEKEND off next weekend...that will feel like a vacation in itself.

how about you? writing a lot these days? seen any good movies lately?

have a great weekend!
