Book Review: The Spider King's Daughter

I was excited when I read on my BBM updates that this book was going to be made available to the public to enjoy last week. Soon after I had asked the author where I could get the book, I made my way to the University's Waterstones with a wide grin on my face. The inquisitive shop-attendant broke the news that it had not been stocked on our rural shelves yet, so he asked that I order it and expect it within two days.

I am Second.

Hi. I am FeyVored. I have been called to seek the Kingdom of God and righteousness, FIRST, before anything else. Anything at all; whether it be fame, money or even recognition. This is my resolve, and every thing that I may write here to inspire  you must FIRST come from God. I am a servant. I am not the one that eyes should be set on. I look to THE ONE who gained the victory. I place God first. As for me, I am Second. For more testimonies, visit http://www.iamsecond.com/
