It is a collection of scriptures outlined to the lyrics of the song "Be Like Jesus". Her second debut single, "Be Like Jesus", was released in 2013. This upbeat, contemporary single is rich with soulful ad libs and eloquent phrases that highlight the incredible experience of newness and wholeness that are only available through salvation in Jesus Christ. This eight chapter book also includes scriptures on topics such as salvation, healing, strength, and much more. Trina's second published work, Transformation, explains in detail the foundational principals of Christianity such as salvation, maintaining salvation, and repentance. It is a must read for new Christians, recommitted Christians, and seasoned Christians. United Christian Fellowship Church International (www.ucfci.org) has adopted Transformation as the official curriculum for all Christian Living classes. Both books are published by Degel Publishing, independently owned by Trina. The Biblical principle found in Matthew 22:37 (NKJV) serves as the motivating foundation for Trina in life and ministry. "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." This Biblical command birthed Trina's purpose for music ministry. That purpose is to give God all the glory, unite and reunite souls with Christ and encourage the Body of Christ. Trina is pursing an educational doctoral degree from the University of Southern California in Organizational Change and Leadership . She currently resides in Charlotte, NC.
