About the Author

Naida Wilson cannot remember a time when she did not want to know God, though she was reared in a home where there was no teaching about God. To know Him has been the quest of her life.

Naida began to write poetic prayer some 30 years ago while studying about the life of King Solomon and how, in his old age, he turned away from God. She prayed, "Dear Lord, don't let me live long enough to turn away from You!"

At that moment, while looking out through a glass storm door on the front of her home, she watched as a vision of a beautifully wrapped gift seemed to drop down from nowhere and hang suspended in midair by an invisible force.

A voice spoke and said, "Today is a gift to you, and if you will live today surrendered to Me, you need have no fear of tomorrow." Immediately she felt compelled to begin to write, and within about 10 minutes she had composed a poetic prayer called My Gift which expressed gratitude for that day. A Journey Toward God includes that poem and other verses which she has been inspired to write through the years which followed.
