Marsha Carr
Marsha Carr and her husband Jim reside in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. She is a mother, grandmother, and retired elementary teacher (Johnstown Christian School). She enjoys learning all she can about God's Word and sharing this with others. Marsha desired to find a way to introduce the Bible in a way that children would gain both an understanding and enthusiasm for God's Word. Illustrator, art educator, and daughter-in-law, Kelly Carr, teamed up with Marsha to share this message. This duo also wrote and illustrated "Whose Birthday Is It Anyway?" that teaches about the birthday of Jesus.

Although, my mother was an immigrant from Jamaica, she instilled good values and etiquette in me. She raised me to be and independent lady, and to stand on my own two feet. My mother always says, seek happiness, success and love for God has someone for everyone.
Be humble and wait on the Lord!

FOREWORD
This book has been written for a time like this. Many Pastors and faith-based leaders have been struggling with situations concerning their congregations during these economic times. Some individuals have been attacked through their beliefs based on the loss of loved ones, employment, and the rise in the cost of living. In addition, the Coronavirus has killed thousands this year throughout the world, and many people are hospitalized or quarantined.
Accepting God as your personal Savior will help you think positively.
We all need words of encouragement, and Heaven’s Door’s will help you to learn how to conquer and ultimately escape your fears.
Demonic spirits are always lurking to enter your subconscious therefore, we must decrease so God can increase. Daily prayers are essential for living. Our survival tactics rest on good communication, between the individual and God. Constant contact with God, permits and gives you the power to withstand all demonic spirits those both seen and unseen.
