Words From The Author 
Keeping It Real! by Archbishop D.D. Scott
ISBN: 978 1-4208-3863-6


Men and Women of God I come to you in all humility. I come to you about the truth of what happened to me. I was settling for less than what God made me into. Yes, I have the degrees on the wall. I have a wonderful education, but it didn’t stop me from experiencing the wickedness that so easily befalls us in ministry. I hope while reading this book, you will begin to experience the love of Christ, but begin to keep it real. We all have to answer to God for our iniquities. I am glad that they were exposed prior to His making me into a complete vessel to be used by Him and Him only. We have to recognize that when we keep secrets, it hurts more than anything. The hard part is recovering when you have built yourself up, and want others to worship you instead of Our Heavenly Father.


We tell the members to seek his face. We tell the people who are still babes in Christ to listen to what thus said the Lord, and all the while it is us not the Holy Spirit. We want anointing so bad that we manufacture it, and those that are yearning for that experience enter in only to find out that it was about emotion and money. Don’t get me wrong money keeps the ministry running, not your house, your car, your clothes and everything else associated with what money can buy. You see I have nothing to lose. I have lost everything that I built. It is now time to get what God would want me to have. I am now released to speak the truth into peoples lives without telling them what they want to hear. I am now released to continue ministry in the true Name of Jesus Christ. I am now released to let the world know about me and how I made it to the other side in the storm. Had I not went through the storm, I might not have fallen in love. I have no secrets. A well known pastor told me that “Secrets Kill” I thank her today for those two words of truth.


I speak out of my own experience. I can’t speak to everyone’s giants, only mine. But, if I must speak into anyone’s life I would say “Stop hiding behind the spotlights of what it looks like” Present yourselves a living sacrifice. I write this because there are others who are hurting and have been hurt, that are just functioning. 


We have been taught to go along, to get along. I am not opening up a Pandora’s box to start a controversy with Christians and Non-Christians, but if the truth be told, this is what people see and refuse to continue to be hurt in church. We think we are exempt from issues in life, we are not. 
We fall short as does everyone. We strive to get to the Kingdom of God, and hope He has mercy on us on the way. God is requiring that the bar be raised and the truth step to the plate. This is a real Christian story. I don’t believe that I could write Christian fiction when everything I believe in the Bible is truth! I can write and compare myself to so many people in the Bible, but that is not what God wanted me to do. I can expound on scripture and re-tell the story, but this is my story, you haven’t heard it before, but you may relate. 


So please don’t look for the highly educated woman of God to speak as an intellectual in this edition, try to see, hear and feel where I’m coming from. My heart was heavy on this journey of being under construction and reclaiming my dignity, my character, my integrity, and my birth rights as a child of the King. 

To God Be The Glory!
