NewLife Book Distributor has selected Minister Celeste's Sister Girl... It's Not That Serious! as well as And The Sisters Said, "Amen!" to travel on Destiny's Road throughout the United States. It is Minister Celeste's prayer that this series reaches the hands and hearts of women everywhere, and she is embracing the elevation as the Lord allows this journalist gift to be shared nationwide.
Since Sister Girl's premiere on January 20, 2007, the buzz has grown dramatically. It is seven chapters designed to help redirect unsavory experiences into positive ones, while learning to give God more control and better understand Him. Minister Celeste lays it down short and to the point; no talking in circles here! With catchy titles such as "I Just Can't Shut up!" each chapter has a "scenario" along with a set of morals to help guide a woman along the road to not only understanding herself but learning to trust in God. It is a good, easy read and with the way the book is worded, it was like Minister Celeste is chatting with old girlfriends.
The Lord blessed Minister Celeste to pen the second book of the series with And The Sisters Said, "Amen!" which was released on November 17, 2007 and it has received 5-Star reviews, with it being noted as "The Traveling Ministry". The testimonials and journal capabilities in this book are a blessing. Minister Celeste feeds you some ideas and then allows you come up with your own conclusions. In reflecting on everyone's individual path down "Destiny's Road," Minister Celeste makes astute observations of the roadblocks and setbacks confronting us all: debt, friend/family drama, and loneliness, just to name a few. With keen insight supported by scriptural confirmation, she analyzes both the cause and cure of each common affliction with convincing cogency. Also, the deft touch of her applied wisdom serves as the proverbial "spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down,"
making it easier for the reader to digest the uncomfortable truths of his/her lifestyle. The most rewarding aspect
And The Sisters Said, "Amen!" is Celeste's insistence upon affirming the positive over the negative; in so doing, she infuses the reader with the subconscious strength to look beyond whatever short-term drawbacks s/he may face in favor of the long-term benefits of putting faith & determination into action. The CD, with music written by Minister Celeste, is a wonderful accompaniment with a touch of the preacher's sermonic presentation "Anointed For Breakthrough", a recap of the book and some music to get you through your day.
The Lord has elevated Minister Celeste in expanding her ministry to the airwaves, as the host of "Write The Vision" Victorious Visionaries on WHPR 88.1 FM heard in Detroit, Highland Park, and Hamtramck, Michigan.

The show is formatted with guests who have been victorious in the ministries and gifts the Lord has given them and is spotlighted with a "Sister Girl..." Forum which addresses various issues that plague women in today's society. Since the birth of this vision, the Lord has blessed Minister Celeste with many guests such as Kalyn Risker of S.A.F.E.

A Note From The Author:
I would like to thank everyone for their overwhelming support! In attempting to walk in obedience to God, it has
not been my goal to receive high accolades and honor for being His servant, so I am very emotional when I think
of how the Lord has used The "Sister Girl ..." Series to touch the lives of many women since it's release. I pray
exceedingly abundant blessings upon all who read.
