– an excerpt from the book

Author Reputation Press is honored to publish “CHOICES: Like Waves Going to Distant Shores, Will We Ever Really Understand the Consequences” by Sylvia Ramos-Paneque. The book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the ARP website.

Each decision we make in life affects the course that it will eventually follow. Will we make the decision to live by enabling God’s Word to transform our hearts? Or will we revert to our human nature, making a passive decision that will result in death?

Do you have the spiritual maturity to make good decisions? Each and every day, we are all faced with a plethora of decisions. How are the best ones established? How can we create decisions that glorify God?

Do you ever grow tired of choosing among the seemingly limitless options you are presented with every day? There are several forks in the road of life, and at each one, we must make a decision. Will we act bravely or cowardly when making decisions?

We all make choices in our lives. Sometimes, the freedom to pick between many different options can feel more like bondage than freedom. Sometimes, our freedom of choice is a prison. Literally, yet, God can take any choice we make and turn it into His glory and victory.

Author Sylvia Ramos-Paneque’s “CHOICES: Like Waves Going to Distant Shores, Will We Ever Really Understand the Consequences” is the harrowing, autobiographical account of the many life choices she made that led her to serve jail time in a Mexican prison for smuggling drugs in the early 1980s.

Within this compelling memoir, Ramos-Paneque guides readers through her early days of growing up in “Rat City,” a.k.a. White Center, a suburb of Seattle, through adulthood, and her growing faith journey along the way.

Readers learn about the tough choices made in the author’s life, from becoming a ninth-grade school dropout to getting married at the age of sixteen and ultimately drifting into her role as a drug smuggler, running cocaine from South America.

This riveting story showcases how God was with the author through all of her choices, and, in His powerful economy, everything can be used. After years of making “wrong” decisions, God’s choice to provide the author with employment as a bail bondswoman for the following twenty years turned her choices into God’s decision to help countless others in similar situations. With God’s help, our darkest and most painful experiences become His greatest assets in helping others.
