Six Houses Down and Around encompasses some of her childhood memories as it gently proclaims the Gospel. Prayer has always been infused into every part of growing up, just as you see with the characters Afia and Maliq. The Author’s first book, Standing in the Mid-Air of Faith, gives one a poetic view of the Author’s life.

Her qualifications speak for themselves with a BA in Elementary Ed from Oakwood (College) University. MA in Educational Administration & Leadership, MSA in Church Administration, MDIV Eqv. From Andrews University. To further develop skills for her ministry the Author became an Endorsed, Board Certified Chaplain.

Six Houses Down and Around

In a book crafted to connect with both the hearts and minds of our young, TimEtta Wilson makes a whimsical, childlike, and very rememberable case for morality, kindness, and unselfishness. Not many books these days are targeting this vital demographic slice of our faith community. Here at last is a story you can share with kids of all ages-for Jesus.

Dwight Nelson

Pastor

To the recipients of this inspirational book-lessons from life and God’s guidance is what this book offers to children and adults alike. True friendship cannot be found everywhere. When you find it, never let it slip out of your reach; continue to nurture it. Be blessed as you enter into the fun and excitement of Afia and Maliq.

Connie Green

Nurse

Lessons of love, support, and fruit of the Spirit are presented through the lives of two childhood friends. Not only was I entertained by the young couples experiencing day to day situations, but I was also inspired by revelation of truth as the situations were resolved. Wilson’s book is one that adults and children will gain much from reading and responding to the author’s questions at the end of the chapters.

Johnnie Maberry

Retired Professor of Art

This book is very on time for today’s children. Afia and Maliq are relatable to my children, ages 15, 13, and 8. I love the genuine emotions shown throughout. Afia was my favorite character because of her kindness and willingness to self-examine during confusing times. A real story of how friendship can grow into love, including all the lessons to be learned along the way. I appreciated the reflection questions at the end to show the thought process of the reader as well as their comprehension.

Olivia Tate

I liked the questions and suggestions at the end of the book. They were very creative. Each chapter had a positive theme and had me imagining my childhood and teen years. Very captivating book!!!

Michael Meriweather

Afia and Maliq learn valuable life lessons through their childhood adventures, as well as the spiritual guidance of their parents. These wholesome stories will help children to develop a personal relationship with Jesus.

Rita Seay

My 8 year old has read this book 8 times already! Her favorite part is when Maliq apologizes and kisses her on the cheek.
