Bio Cheryl Lacey Donovan

Coming from a legacy of preachers, Cheryl Lacey Donovan is walking in her destiny. An anointed woman of God, her mission is to challenge you to look inside yourself for change, to identify the strongholds in your life, and to tear them down with the help of the creator. Once you have crossed her path, your life will never be the same.

Cheryl Lacey-Donovan is an acclaimed author, educator, and inspirational speaker and a compelling advocate for personal empowerment. Her first book "Women What the Hell are You Thinking: An Inspirational Guide to Becoming a Virtuous Woman of God was released on May 1, 2007 to rave reviews. "Women What the Hell are you Thinking" remained in Amazon's top 10 hot new releases during the entire first two months of its release.
Her new work The Ministry of Motherhood is destined for the bestseller list as it ministers to mothers who are living through what Cheryl has already overcome.

Cheryl believes in the Psalms 11:25 which says, She who refreshes others will herself be refreshed; therefore, she tries to be transparent as she speaks and writes about her valley to mountain experiences.

Cheryl’s internet radio talk show Worth More than Rubies reaches thousands of listeners each Saturday and has impacted women all across the nation. Her syndicated column of the same name can be found in both print and online magazines. She is also a regular contributor to several blogs including her own, “Worth More Than Rubies,” with blogspot.com. She has been a mentor for Christian Women Today for one year and is the founder of Imani Enterprises Unlimited a multi-divisional organization that produces talk shows for radio and television, CD's and DVD's, commercials and book trailers, as well as other inspirational media. Cheryl has been happily married for 14 years to her husband Keith and she has two adult sons and a stepdaughter. She is a member of the Windsor Village United Methodist Church in Houston, Texas.

Cheryl Donovan's life is a true reflection of God's faithfulness. Mrs. Donovan encountered God at an early age. Yet, at the age of 17 she found herself in a constant struggle as a teenage mother. So, after a few years of trying to do things her way, she decided to place all of her trust in the fact that God could and would work miracles in her life. She was walking a tough road, but God was walking with her. Through the love and support of her family and friends, Mrs. Donovan was able to persevere.

"All of the women that I have advised over the years have similar stories; low self esteem, abusive relationships, poverty. I too have endured some of these same realities. I just felt like it was time to write a book that tells women that the situations that they are in don't have to be permanent. There is hope, but their choices must be different if they expect their circumstances to be different. Poor choices lead to poor circumstances. I want readers to comprehend the message that failure is not an option, especially when you have children. It is my hope that the life lessons and biblical references provided in "Women What the Hell are You Thinking" and The Ministry of Motherhood will show women of all ages and colors that failure is not an option in any aspects of their lives. Women have always been over comers but they must find it within themselves to persevere."

Mrs. Donovan hopes to affect the lives of women in a profound way. Her passion is fueled by the many life changes that have affected her over the years. Cheryl understands adversity and realizes that you can't keep life from happening, but the choices that you make can determine the circumstances that you find yourself in.

Her captivating messages are presented with passion and conviction as she connects with her audience through her conversational style.


"To whom much is given much is required. I plan to give back as much as I can by pouring into people's spirit the love of God and His desire for them to fulfill His plans for their lives. ~Cheryl Lacey Donovan

Being a Faithful Steward over God's Greatest Creation: "You"

Two weeks ago I began a series entitled 7 Lessons for L.I.F.E. (Living in Faith and Expectancy)

Lesson #3 is being a faithful steward over God's greatest creation: "you"

Psalm 8:3-9 (New International Version)
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made h… Continue

Hello how you doing? My name is Khalilah Jordan and I just self published my first book "Loyal To The Game" Check it out its hot. It's an urban street book about Shytayjah Johnson AKA Tayjah who is from the streets of New York. She is known for being beautiful and having a glamorous life until suddenly her life takes a twist. She falls in love with a big-time drug dealer named Jason from Harlem, who is known for being a killer. But when he is put in a coma and his right-hand man, Rob, is put in a grave, everyone becomes a target—including Tayjah. When Tayjah’s little sister, Neka, gets killed and her mother becomes a crackhead, Tayjah and her brother, Shytek, takes the streets in their own hands, leaving the streets of New York with shootouts and dead bodies. They will do any and every thing to find the person who murdered their sister. Their hunt is put on hold when both of them get arrested for murder because someone close to them is snitching on them. Betrayal, jealousy, greed, envy, love, and drama are knocking on the door. Who will keep the oath they made to the streets by staying loyal? Who will fall? Makes you want to read some more? If so you can check my book out at www.Xlibris.com, www.BN.com, www.Borders.com and www.Amazon.com. Also check my website out at www.khalilahjordan.org Make sure you tell a friend. Trust, Believe And Have Faith

Cheryl you are a wonderful woman and I find inspiration in your story. There were many times when all I wanted to do was quit but through much prayer and some new friends I am standing tall today. Through forums like this I find new encouragement everyday to continue to grow.
