This devotional book has been a blessing in a difficult time in my life. She had hard times to overcome ,and in turn she has turned that into an outreach of faith to others.

Jacqueline Jakes has written a book full of Inspiration, Encouragement and Virtues. If you are struggling with anything in your life, you may find something to sooth your soul in this book. Anytime I need my spirits lifted, I read this book. You can revive your faith, understand and better cope with problems. I keep this book near my bed with my other spiritual books and read it often.

Jacqueline Jakes has certainly been inspired by almighty God. I read this book in one day. I actually could not put this magnificent book down. I praise God through the entire book. I ordered it for the public library and it was an awesome book. I have decided to purchase my own copy and read it daily. The words actually spoke life to me. Please, please write another book. I salute you that you let God use you in this mighty way. I am from North Carolina and I would like to say to all women, please read this book. It will really help you through trials and tribulations. Keep the good work up, Jacqueline. Be blessed of the Lord!

Sister Wit by Jacqueline Jakes is one of the most spiritually uplifting devotions for women that I've read. Jakes is the sister of well-known author and speaker Bishop T. D. Jakes. This powerful devotional is Jakes' testimonial. At the request of her brother the idea for this book was born. Jakes shares her unique experiences of life with women. At age twenty Jakes suffered a life-threatening experience. She was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The road to recovery was long and difficult but Jakes held on to her faith for strength and courage. Sister Wit is an inspiration to all women. Packed with Bible scriptures and quotes from ordinary people this book delivers positive messages. The devotionals are Jakes' secrets about her unique life experiences and the wisdom she gained. In one devotional she writes about "My Missed Opportunity." Shirley Caesar writes the quote that goes with the devotional. "I always had only one prayer: "Lord just crack the door a little and I'll kick it open all the way."I found Sister Wit to be so real. The book was not preachy but inspirational and thought provoking. I recommend this book to all women who face everyday life struggles...

SISTER WIT, is insightful, touching, and real! This book is not just for women but for everyone who faces everyday life issues.Not only are the quotes of infamous people uplifting, but the biblical verses sighted are great references. I give the book 5 stars for it's lovingly spirtitual guidance, it's realism, and wealth of hope!!!
