Knoxville TN: Author Darlene Underwood recently released her second book, a devotional titled, Speak, Lord, for your Servant is Listening. Underwood says the book is intended to help readers in their everyday journey. It is a compilation work of encounters with God containing nuggets of gold and precious jewels to help readers throughout their days.

Underwood had a near-death experience while undergoing open-heart surgery in 2008. During that time, Underwood entered into a new and exciting realm. She says that while in this place, the Lord Jesus Christ spoke a message to her and she vowed to Him that she would share the message with others to help them in their earthly journey with the Lord.

A graduate of Rhema Bible College in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Underwood is currently seeking her Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies through CES (Christ Exalted Seminary). She has held the positions of Bible Teacher, Co-Pastor and Associate Pastor in churches in Illinois and Wisconsin and is currently working with Dr. Carol Elaine in iWOW! (Women of the Word), and CES (Christ Exalted Seminary). She is ordained with Melody of Life Ministry based in Chattanooga, Tennessee and is the Founder of Destiny’s Journey Ministries.

Underwood is a mother of three, grandmother of seven, and great-grandmother of two. She resides in Ooltewah, Tennessee with her husband, Joe. Underwood’s first book, an autobiography, is titled Destiny’s Journey. Both books are available on Amazon.

Underwood is available to speak at women’s groups, retreats, Bible studies, churches and ministry events. Reach Underwood at destinysjourney42@gmail.com or destinysjourneyministries.blogspot.com.
