Pass the Salt: Spiritual Poetry, Prophetic Messages and Empowering Quotes to Awaken the Conscience and Revive the Spirit
Prince George’s County, Md.-based pastor and author Anita G. Naves looked to the Bible when writing her second book, Pass the Salt. The founder and CEO of the county’s Youthfest hopes to inspire the masses with her latest release, a collection of spiritual poetry and prose centered around the scripture, “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how can it be made salty again? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled on by the world”- Matthew 5:13.
Described as a “combination of prophetic messages, spiritual poetry and encouraging quotes,” Pass the Salt boldly addresses some of the world’s most critical social issues.
The pastor first earned international acclaim in 2008 when she held a prayer service inside a local grocery store. Since then, she has gone on to host numerous community-based events and is currently working on her third book while pursuing a doctorate in religion.
Naves, is currently the pastor and founder of Set Time To Prosper Christian Ministry.
