It is Not Your Fault is my very First Children's book, I am super excited about this, there are a lot of features in the book that is a direct refection of my life, and some of the things that I went through as I grew up, but for the most part, it is all fiction.It is not Your Fault was a desire of mine that focused on the idea that, children have a hard life ahead of them, and when children have to deal with the bondage issues that adults place in their laps without warning, it can be extremely harmful to the child. For me, I found this out, and it took me many years of hating myself before finding out that the many different things that we going on in my life was not directly about me, but the things were there to block me from moving forward in life.Yes, for me, this was a hard read, as I wrote it, spent many times walking away to wipe tears away, I do however put myself right in the middle of what is going on as I write it out, which is why I guess it makes it so hard for me to write it. For many that might read this, they would say that this is childish, and there are no hard parts within the wording, to them, I would say, you have never had to live that kind of life, I have.This book is aimed at kids ten years of age and above, the child in the book is probably around ten to twelve years of age, he is fully able to get around on his own and unsupervised, and yet, he is small enough to dash into a small under-frame window.I have always wanted to write a Children's Book, but this is more young adult, I guess than it us Children's. I will never say that anything that I have written will change someone's life, however, that is for the reader to choose. Life is about choices, and all of us have to make choices each and every single day, many of us hate to do it, and when it comes down to making the choice for others, we tend to hate that even more. the ethics of this book is about doing the right thing, it is about helping children to be children, and helping them through their many problems, especially when they say the problem is not there, when you know full well that it is.
About the Author: My name is Ollie Fobbs, I was Ordained in 1986, went in the military in 1988, after being married to my second wife Joyce Smith, I was stationed in Germany for two years, there I joined a local Protestant Church, where the pastor led me in the things of Holiness and the preached word. upon getting back to Richmond Virginia, I started trying to find work anywhere I could. During the course of the next ten years, many would reject me as a man of God, many would deny me a place of employment, and teaching the word, where ever I was, became the order of the day. I became homeless two times during this season of my life, and the devil made valuable attempts to get me to move back into an old lifestyle that I had already defeated, during this time, I found out just how good God really was. I was hungry, and I made use of public trash cans, I was in need of bathing, and God helped me to make use of the local river and streams. then I started doing ministry courses on the web, one was of a school in India, it was a great course, three times a week, I went to the Library to do the weeks assignments, after four years of study with them, they sent me a grade average and said that I was a graduate, but the degree never showed up which was fine. two years later, I moved to Winston Salem North Carolina, that was when I married my present wife LaVonia Boartwright Fobbs. She has been a God sent from the word go, we have really enjoyed life, and we are presently looking to take life to the next level and travel extensively, but, that still too depends on what the Lord wants of us. My son, Andy Reid, still lives in Richmond Virginia, his daughters Ashleigh and Jade, live there too. My brothers, and mother are also in Richmond Virginia. life has been great over the past almost 8 years now, the Lord at this point has blessed me with 52 published books, and I still have another 72 that I am working on. I was born in a home in Halifax county of North Carolina, many years ago, I make that sound old right? There were many things about this that I didn't learn until I was in my forties, I knew my Grand mother was a great woman, to me, she was the closest thing to a real prophet of God that ever walked the earth, I loved her, she passed away at 71 years old, in 1971, odd right? I cried my heart out when she passed away, I was about 9 years old then, my mother and father planned my birth, which does not mean that my sister and my brothers were all mistakes, it was all a plan.
