                                                                      BARBIE SCHUCHART-CARLISLE                   

                                     "Great Authors have something unique about them that separates themselves from others.  They stand out.   They write with a sense of Purpose.  Their Passion inspires a lot of the people that reads their books.   Books are amazing.  It can change moods.  It can motivate someone that lost hope.  However it's not just about the book.  Behind the book is an Author that had a vision.  Barbie is one of those Great Authors.  She was happy enough to let us know what motivates her."

                                                                                                       Jason E. Foss


Jason:               "What motivated you to write "My Path Of Faith, A Life's Journey Learning To Love"?"


Barbie:

                                  "This is very simple. God. I’ve been writing poetry since I was a little girl. My oldest brother would put my poems to music and sing them at our family hootenannies!  I’ve had God close to my heart all my life and as a child I’d talk to him as my best friend. My mother always made fun of me for this but I didn’t care. God told me I would be writing My Path of Faith and my mission in life would be to show and share his love with everyone."


Jason:                      ""My Path of Faith, A Life's Journey Learning  to Love" sounds like something that can and has touched a lot of people already. What do you feel is the first step in learning to love? "


Barbie:

                                  "You have to completely surrender to God. “Completely" with everything you are."

  
                                 "Confess to him all of your “ugly, dark secrets.” Even the ones which others have done to you. Find your part in them. Mine with my mother was as simple as I carried my childhood hatred for her and the self-loathing which she instilled in me into my adulthood instead of listening to God and forgiving her. I lived my life trying to hurt her but instead I only hurt myself.)

 
                                 "Ask him for his forgiveness.  He’s always there and waiting for you."

 
                               "This one is so simple, we were made for it but as humans have been conditioned otherwise. “Love"  Not just from your heart and needs but from your very soul. As I talk about it in my book, I went to a spiritual healing doctor, an M.D., in 2013. As he was working on me I asked him: “how can I get more of God?”  No matter what I do, I can't get close enough. He replied: “Total surrender.”  I said I have but “I want so much more!”  He then put a hand on my shoulder, looked me dead in the eyes and said: “Love!”  I felt my entire being change at that moment!  I used to say I have to love you but I don’t have to like you. Wrong!  I was playing God and judging others by not accepting them just as they are right where they are!  My newfound faith was put to the test four hours later when I arrived home to find my belongings on the street and in the yard where I was living! You'll have to read my book to find out why and what happened! "


                               "When I look at someone I don’t see their physical appearance. All I see is their heart and soul as God created them to be. I see only their beauty, not what they may be going through or how they look. This is a gift I want to give everyone because it is beyond amazing or anything I can describe. A love like you’ve never known before. If I could hand it to you I would but, you have to want it and find it through God. I’m merely here to be his example and help others find it."



Jason:                           "For your fans and book lovers, briefly describe “My Path of Faith."


Barbie:
 
                                   "What I like to say first of all is it is NOT a religious book!  My Path of Faith describes parts of my life, my trials, tribulations and happy times. My focus of My Path of Faith though is not about what I’ve been through in life but how God has always been there even when I turned away from him. I’ve been through several abusive relationships starting with my mother. Was date raped on my first date. Kicked out of our home at age 17 because of it and in my 50’s I was homeless for 8 months. I tried committing suicide four times,  starting at age 16 with the last time in 2016 when I drank antifreeze after almost being beaten to death by the man I’d been living with for two years.  Two days later was pronounced DOA by the paramedics.  I had a near death experience then too."
  
                                  "There are pictures of things that happened to me and some of my poems are also included. This is a book to show no matter what we go through, unconditional love and God are all that matters."

                                 "At the end of each chapter I have and describe for the reader: “Where was God in My Path of Faith.” And then after this I have a scripture that coincides with the chapter.
d. As a result of my book I’ve founded “My Hand in His Ministry,” reaching out to help heal the broken as I too once was. You can find this on Facebook."

Jason:                            "Are you working on another book and if so, what can you tell us about it? "


Barbie:

                                    "I’m getting ready to publish a book of poetry called; “Be Quiet, Be Still, Listen to and Feel the ‘WHISPERED WORDS BREATHED UPON MY SOUL!”"

                                   "I’m also completing a second book called, “Walk in Power” which leads you through how to learn to love!  It even has pages for writing and journaling as you grow! "


Jason:                             "For those that want to read your book, what is the easiest way to buy My Path of Faith? "

                                                                                     CLOSING

                                     "Barbie was motivated by her Faith.  What I like most about Barbie is that she uses her gift of writing to share her life.  Anyone that is losing hope, feels lost, or somewhere along the way lost their direction Barbie took the time to give them a possible path they can take to regain focus.  But she walks you through the steps.  She doesn't just tell you a few words and expect you to understand on your own.  She added poems and pictures to give Readers a unique experience.  It is nice to hear that she aims to heal the broken.  She is working hard to show those in need what "Unconditinal Love" is and how it can change someone's life.  In life when things get tough options are very important to overcome.  Barbie is one of those Great Authors that wanted to create an option for those that feel they have none and can use some hope and inspiration.  Click on the Link above and buy "My Path Of Faith".
