Tina M. Hawkins, the proud recipient of the Kay Courtney Courage and Devotion Award with Tyndale Theological Seminary's Bachelor of Arts Bible and theology program, has completed her new book, "The Babe: A Journey Towards Spiritual Maturity": a stirring look at one's life lived in dedication to Christ and following his teachings towards salvation.

Shares Hawkins, "'The Babe' is a spiritually inspired testament exploring the personal forty-year journey of a spirit having a human experience through a Christian's walk from the day of surrender through salvation's process of redemption with the hope of attaining spiritual maturity and the ability to realize a divinely guided and balanced Christian walk.

"'The Babe' explores the parallels between the physical and spiritual birth, growth, and development process and how it is astounding with regard to the outcomes of having received or having not received the proper attention and care as an infant growing into adulthood. On one hand, there is an infant that has received all the necessary love and care since conception to become a productive, loving, and caring member of society. On the other hand, there is an infant that was literally abandoned since conception, being molded by way of the mother's thoughts of termination or disdain, being pierced by the spirit of fear in the womb, whereas, it is known that the baby nestled in womb becomes aware of its outside surroundings at fourteen weeks and responds to the mom's emotional and physical state."

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Tina M. Hawkins's new book is a potent resource for followers of Christ and nonbelievers alike who struggle with low self-esteem and self-worth. Hawkins explores what it means to truly place one's faith in God and to love thy neighbor and thyself unconditionally as Christ teaches one to do.
