Tammie Vinnie Venturella

I've always wanted to write a book for my wife Tammie. I wanted it to be very special and truly capture her essence. She loves God, loves me, loves our daughters, loves her family and loves people. To best capture that essence, I chose to use various Bible verses to articulate real lessons that she espouses. Tammie is not perfect, no one is. However, she has a near perfect heart and tries to be Christ-like in everything she does. These are actual lessons she has taught our daughters or me, or that she has addressed with Meaghan and Sophia in everyday life or while doing devotionals with them. Some of these are how I see Tammie or embody what she stands for or aspires to be. I tried to use the expanse of the Bible for these lessons from both the Old Testament and the New Testament, and you'll see representation from Psalms and from Proverbs. I also tried to use the great women of the Bible to highlight these lessons including Abigail, Deborah, Elizabeth, Esther, Eve, Hannah, Mary, Mary Magdalene, Miriam, Priscilla, Rachel, Ruth, and Sarah. I recommend reading the chapter or surrounding passages around the verse I use to fully appreciate the context of the lesson. This is not a Bible Commentary, and I do not attempt to give the reader the foundation for a Bible Study. These verses have inspired these lessons, even if the lessons seem secular.
