Bobette Stubblefield
The 'It' Factor - Keeping It Real is a living comprehensive study of TRUTH concerning the original design for healthy relationship. The reader takes a seat at a vacant peephole in the fence around their life and gets a glimpse of 'it' - the BIGGER picture. In the beginning, they see God’s personal involvement in the creation and everyday lives of Adam and Eve. They then journey into the adventure of life, as the first couple knew it. Then, from the seat of eons later, the reader cries out to the couple to resist the hissing creture’s enticement to turn from TRUTH. Sadly, they ignore our pleas, and angry Adam and enabling Eve end up living out a dysfunctional relationship in a cursed land.We, their seed, slaves to dysfunction, were born into a land at war with us. Life happens - relationships are broken, finances fail, and storms (physical and spiritual) come - and we struggle with loving ourselves, loving others, and (sometimes) loving God. This book offers a rare glimpse into the often unspoken areas of life, the raw realities where one has the choice (much like the first couple) of becoming bitter or better.Truth always has at least three perspectives. When we can align ourselves with 'it' (God’s perspective on truth) it enables us to live as He originally intended - wide, open, and free! Find your seat at the peephole in the fence and watch as Bobette Stubblefield-Martin masterfully takes the difficult topics of life’s grievances, heartaches, anger, and hurt and encourages us to roll up our sleeves and get real.This book is dedicated to all those who have struggled with loving yourself, loving others, and (sometimes) loving God.

Ed., author of Reading the Tells - Learning How to Read Body Language Chapter by chapter, Pastor Bobette eloquently rolls back the pages of tradition and myth, inviting the reader all the way back to the Garden of Eden-a more biblically accurate version than I’ve ever had the tools to envision. She introduces us to an Adam and Eve that actually seem human and relatable ...

Throughout this powerful book, she encourages us to roll up our sleeves, get real, and engage with 'it,' now that we can finally discover what 'it' is.-Kat Hubble, entrepreneur and poet.
