The Regal Sisterhood Book Club chose Soul Source as their book of the month for September 2017. Soul Source is an anthology by author and international speaker Cheryl Polote-Williamson. In this compelling non-fiction piece, we encounter twenty-three authors whose souls are nourished, lifted, and favored by the grace of God. These brave women shared their stories and lessons about forgiveness, grief, self-love, disappointment, betrayal, depression, bitterness, abuse, and pain. We were blown away by the realness and transparency within each story. Reading Soul Source is like sitting in a group therapy session with women whose stories seem to resonate and speak to various areas of your life. It is deeply profound and comforting to know your feelings and experiences are not solely isolated. We recommend this book for your must-read list. It has changed our lives, and we are sure it will break chains of bondage in the lives of others as well. Below are some individual testimonies from some of our Regal Sisters.

Regal Sister #1: Soul Source was a great read. The stories had me on an emotional roller coaster. I laughed, cried, celebrated, and praised. The title of this book truly defined the depth of what is being shared. Not only were they speaking from their souls, but healing began when the source (God) was identified. I loved the inspiration, encouragement, and surely the correlation to Gods word. Excellent selection!

Regal Sister #2: This book is so powerful that I could not put it down. I tried to pace myself and just read one story each day, but that did not work. I found myself reading 3-4 stories each night. I commend each woman for being brave and sharing their story with the world. People just don't realize how much healing is in transparency. It not only heals the one sharing but it also heals others because they realize there is life after past experiences. Your ability to live through the situation is your permission and duty to share your victory with others. There were numerous stories of which I could identify in this book, but the one that provided a life-changing revelation for me was Loss and Rejection: That Stuff Challenges You Faith by Regina M.Poole. With these simple words, every hurt and pain in my past romantic relationships began to make sense: "My experience with my father was a lesson in rejection, which manifested in so many different ways. I am not sharing this recollection to bash my father, but am sharing this in hopes that I can help someone else break free of the rejection from his or her father.” I was changed in the twinkling of an eye! I recommend this book for anyone who has thoughts of growing and becoming the magnificent person God calls us to be.
