Celibacy Equals=Life [Paperback]

Carla Bagnerise (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2005

Is an "adventuresome" walk with the author, Carla Bagnerise, for the reader into her heart, life and mind, who became the Gospel Diva (divinely, inspired, virtuous, anointed). It may sound some what boastful to adopt such a title, but her creative, autobiographical flair in this book, embodies "confident and candid words that describe this, ultimate personal relationship with a man named "Jesus Christ", with whom she has developed intimacy, almost beyond description and who has motivated her to be celibate (abstaining from sex, only before marriage) for about fifteen years. She expounds in a conversational and very personal manner, her life before her relationship with God and after to encourage, protect, inspire and strengthen the reader, she explains why this lifestyle has been so important and gives suggestions about how to. There's no easy steps. Seriously, sincere, empathy expresses that Jesus is the way, the truth and the "life", conveying, "celibacy = life," in the right context, via her life story and several interviews.

About the Author

Carla Stephanie Bagnerise, was born, bred and raised in Los Angeles, California. Then she was born again on January 12, 1980, thereafter, toddling around with no knowledge of God, (meaning not hearing a word) until 1986, when she arrived back home to Los Angeles from New York City, where she lived for two years (1984 and 1985). She arrived in Los Angeles on a Monday, started attending Crenshaw Christian Center on that following Sunday, became filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, "got wrapped up, tied up tangled up", in the word of God.  She began to zealously, "oops" spread the gospel, actually leading some to Christ, laying hands on the sick, yes to see some recover, and developing her music ministry, and with that has come even more people, getting physically, emotionally, and mentally healed. Miss Bagnerise has attended "Zoe Christian Fellowship Leadership Training Program" (phase one and phase two) to clarify her God given purpose. She continued her preparation at "Crenshaw Christian Center, Ministry Training Institute" to complete the two year program in June. After becoming active with "God In Our Midst" Ministries, ministering in music and teaching/preaching, was now qualified and did become licensed, by Crenshaw Christian Center, effective, March of 2000. Shortly after her graduation, she wrote this book Celibacy =Life and Spirit Lead Shopping. She says the Lord gave her the title of "songtrepeneur" (meaning, singer, entrepeneur), which is encompassing of all that God has called her to do. Carla heard that still small voice, one day say, your purpose is to "disciple, mentor and groom female leaders." Miss Bagnerise is presently unmarried, with the expectation, of embarking upon a "beautiful marriage in the Lord, that is full of life . . . Zoe (the most high God kind of life)!
