Anatesha Dunn
Information Nation recently asked women across the country to open up about some of the more prolific Christian authors of the 21st century and Anatesha Dunn took our challenge.
Information Nation: Thank you, Anatesha Dunn, for speaking with us today about this enlightening book.
Anatesha Dunn: Well, it’s one of my favorites – all of TD Jakes‘ books are, actually.
Information Nation: For good reason, too – right? Can you tell us a bit about it?
Anatesha Dunn: Absolutely. Bishop TD Jakes breaks down the act of healing into three simple words…
Information Nation: Sounds easy enough – What are they?
Anatesha Dunn: Person, Problem and Prescription. He says that each person’s problems have a prescription: Jesus. That’s powerful insight to pack into three little words!
Information Nation: Jakes has a way with explaining things, doesn’t he?
Anatesha Dunn: Very much so. He is very easy to follow and speaks in a way that everyone can identify.
Information Nation: Can you tell us more about the book, Anatesha Dunn, and what it means to you?
Anatesha Dunn: Jakes points out that past problems stay fresh…you know – every woman has cried herself to sleep over something…
Information Nation: Yes, that’s true…and a lot of men, too!
Anatesha Dunn: That’s another great thing about Jakes, even as a strong authority figure, he makes a point to show his feelings.
Information Nation: Well, Anatesha Dunn, what can a reader take away from this book?
Anatesha Dunn: So much… One point that I think rings out the loudest is early in the book, page 25. Jakes says that Jesus is on call 24/7.
Information Nation: That hit home for you?
Anatesha Dunn: Yes. It’s easy to get wrapped up in daily life and forget that we are never really alone.
Information Nation: So, overall, would you recommend this book?
Anatesha Dunn: I do, and have often…my copy is floating around my family somewhere right now!
Information Nation: Good luck getting it back! Thank you for giving us a small bit if insight on Jakes’ book.
Anatesha Dunn: My pleasure. Thank you for putting authors like TD Jakes in the spotlight.
