“What caused you to say that, I wonder?” Tammy asked me.
“I reckon I didn’t know it then, but I could see the future sometimes and it seemed natural to me to just say what I seen. Peoples didn’t pay no attention to it ’til it happened, and then they got scared ’cause I was right.”
-Chapter 7, Go Find My Story
Go Find My Story is based on the true story of Effie Jones, a Christian prophetess, street evangelist, and Southern cook extraordinaire. Raised in Louisiana, Effie migrates to San Francisco in the 1940s and quickly adapts to the new "climate." Always the storyteller, she seizes each moment to share the parables of her life as she keeps her daily divine appointments in her home and on the streets of The City.
In 1976, Effie's life-long dream to get her biography "wrote down" leads her into friendship with Tammy, a college dropout whose faith is transformed as she hears the miraculous stories and witnesses the hope and love of this amazing woman. With tales of harsh child labor, traumatic loss, and a string of six husbands, Effie recounts her long road toward freedom as she struggled for decades to find her identity in the Lord and to forgive others- and herself.
In one sense a manual for the redemptive prophet, Go Find My Story tells how prophets are born- and made. Effie's God-given prophetic abilities to "see" and "hear" surface in early childhood, much to the astonishment of her family. Her visionary gifts mature as she traverses seasons of incredible hardships and personal tragedy with an ever-growing awareness of the voice and presence of the Lord watching over her. With her eyes fixed more and more on Jesus, Effie shows herself far less concerned about using her supernatural gifting than about becoming a vessel of His love to a lost and hurting world. A true spiritual mother, Effie begins to mentor her spiritual daughter Tammy "on the sly" in her stories; a true prophetess, Effie speaks words that shape Tammy's course for the next thirty years.
Go Find My Story eBook Sandy Landry Tyane Boye
Go Find My Story is one of my favorite books of all-time. I loved this book because it showed the struggles of a budding prophetess amongst racism, poverty, abuse and despite the "hard road" she kept her faith in God and continued living for Him. Also, I loved that is was very descriptive and due to the great descriptives, it was like you were there with Effie. Effie's story is one that needs to be heard by Christian woman and especially prophetesses. The book showed how it was hard being a black woman but despite her setbacks, she moved about in life with complete boldness. Go Find My Story painted the clearest picture and the words jumped off the page into the deep recesses of your heart. It is a book that I would never lend to another, you have to purchase your own. Go Find My Story is a masterpiece and it does justice to the legacy of Effie and she is in Heaven smiling down on all who reads her story.Product details

Go Find My Story eBook Sandy Landry Tyane Boye Reviews
I completely adored the story of Effie's life. She had a beautiful soul and I'm grateful her story was written. ❤️
This an amazing story of the journey of life. Effie's dialogue takes us through her struggles with oppression, racism, sexism and so much more of what life brings you, both good and bad. The honesty of Effie and the trials of her journey is so refreshing knowing that God can lead and use Effie who is far from perfect. This books depicts how life can sometimes seem like a vicious cycle of mistakes or can go from bad to worse but God pulls Effie out of situations and leads her to be free! There is comedic relief throughout this book and not to mention the joy from Effie can pour out of the pages. I am so thankful for Effie's story.
The first thing that resonated with me was the boldness of a 6 year old girl and her belief in speaking the truth. Her life as a child depicted her genuine self - the way God created her to be, and showed how people can make life tough for others when they're uncomfortable with the freedom or differences they see in others. Effie fought a good fight to hold on to who she was despite great odds. Her passion and determination to seek God and find Him because she was convinced "He alone could do something about her feelings of being cast off" is to be admired. She experienced hard times in her marriages, and they didn't work out quite the way she had hoped, even still Effie always sensed God's presence in wanting her to take His provision for sin. She learned through difficult circumstances not to judge others' motives, and described love as "pushing through and giving when you don't have it to give". Effie came to realize that "even really bad things can work out for good if God be with you." Oh yes, the years Effie spent pouring into Tyane, a young woman, not because she was a blood relative, but because God laid it on her heart to do so, how that young woman grew up and wrote the story of Effie's life, and how God's hand is guiding that young woman 30 years later to search out her own spiritual calling is a testament to her mentor Effie, and the faithfulness of our God.
This book is a MUST READ, for anyone interested in the meanderings of God! The detail and precision from the authors is stellar. I highly recommend this book.
The author captured the essence of a difficult life lived to the glory of her Maker. Very inspiring and thought provoking.
One of the best book I've read about a African America life story. When I first started reading in the beginning I was questioning if this was a true story. But at the end I believe it's true and Effie was a real prophet. I would recommend this book to those who have a prophetic calling on their lives. I wish there were more mentors like Effie.
This story is a moving testimony of both womanhood and spiritual growth. Little Effie, seemingly wise beyond her years, describes her life from childhood to adulthood while growing up in the rural south. Trauma and triumph ebb and flow as her spiritual maturity blossoms, and her soul accepts that God is GOOD!
