Virtual Book Tour 

By Latoya Jackson-Tulloch

“Transforming lives, one conversation at a time.”

1. Introduction

 Hello and welcome!

My name is Latoya Jackson-Tulloch, and I am so honored to be here with you today as part of this incredible virtual book tour. I’m a published author, ministry leader, worship minister, and speaker—based in beautiful Jamaica, but with a heart that beats for the nations. I’m also the founder of I Speak Life Ministries, whose tagline is “Transforming lives, one conversation at a time”. This is  a space dedicated to helping others find healing, hope, and purpose through the power of faith and storytelling. I'm passionate about equipping people to walk boldly on purpose, heal from past wounds, and pursue intimacy with God. Whether you’re just meeting me or have followed my journey, I pray something in this conversation stirs you.

2. Background Information (Approx. 4–5 minutes)I grew up in rural Jamaica in a district called New Market, and I went to the Beersheba All Age school and then on to the Black River High School. I am currently pursuing a 1st Degree at the University of the Commonwealth Caribbean in the area of Applied Psychology. I have always told myself that nothing in life is easy to get. Therefore I push against the odds at all times. Life wasn’t always easy. We didn’t always have electricity or running water while growing up. But it was these difficult times that has instilled an appreciation for the little things in life. From an early age, I felt the pull of God’s hand on my life. I got baptised at the age of 11 and have dedicated my life to the service of the Lord since then. I would often write little stories and prayers in notebooks—never realizing that one day I’d become a published author encouraging others.

I’ve worn many hats over the years: student, mentor, mother, minister, friend. And all of these roles have added layers to my calling. I remember reading novels and using my imagination to take me to places in those books. I would use the light of the home-sweet-home lamp to read my books as we didn't yet have electricity. My mother left a large suitcase of books because she was an avid reader like me. I usually took one day to finish one book, sitting down and only moving when nature called or when granny said that i had to do something in the house. During my life I have faced rejection at every phase that I can remember…and this rejection crippled my progress for a very long time. I was afraid to step out because of fear of not being good enough. But when God has his hand on a person, it does not matter what mountain stands before them, it has to eventually move. I am very thankful for God ordained destiny helpers who have encouraged, pushed and motivated me.

 One of the life-changing experiences that I faced was when I went blind temporarily due to preeclampsia during childbirth. That moment tested everything I believed—and yet, it also gave birth to deeper trust, clearer vision, and greater purpose. Out of that season came a book that will soon be published entitled “Lessons in Trusting God: When I Lost My Sight.” My life has been a mix of trials and triumphs—but through it all, God has been faithful.

3. Writing Journey 

I never set out to become an author. I was simply journaling through pain and processing life. I remember in high school I would write stories and my teachers would be so amazed. All I did was write based on the theme that was given. With a very overactive imagination, it was easy to coin a story in minutes. I started writing poems from I was a teenager expressing my feelings and using my writings as an outlet for the myriad of painful experiences that I would go through. But over time, those private pages became public testimonies. I realized there were people like me—women, leaders, believers—sitting in silence, battling rejection, abuse, shame, stagnation, or spiritual dryness. I knew I had to speak up.My first book that I wrote which will be published soon is entitled, “Get Up and Go! No More Delays,”  and this was born out of a personal struggle with procrastination and fear. This book contains some of the poems that I wrote from I was a child. I realized I had been sitting on my gifts for too long, waiting for the "perfect time." Through scripture, prayer, and bold action, I wrote that book not just for others—but for myself too. I know that when it is published it will help many persons to move out of delay.

 Let's talk about the book that has been published: “From Ruins to Revival: A Call to Intense Prayer and Intimacy with God.” This book was born in a season of deep intercession and divine confrontation. I was asked to preach at church and when I went before the Lord, the story of Elijah on Mount Carmel was what he highlighted to me. You see, there are times when we have placed other gods before the true and living God. we have allowed others to lead us away from the presence of the Lord. to make it more simple to understand, we don't pray as we used to, we don't spend time in the word, we no longer tell anyone about Jesus Christ, nor do we share with others the things that God has done in our lives. We have allowed worldly things to distract us and we have wandered further away from his presence. The purpose of man was to have a relationship with their creator and this has been evident from the book of Genesis. So this book is a simple call to return to the place from whence we have left. I had to rebuild my own spiritual altar—and God challenged me to call others to do the same. So If your altar has been neglected, It's time to rebuild.Every book has been a journey of obedience. I write from a place of healing and honesty, drawing from personal experience, clinical insight, and biblical wisdom. Writing is both ministry and therapy for me.

4. Themes in My Books 

Each of my books explores deep, transformative themes that I believe are urgent for this generation.🕊️ From Ruins to RevivalThis book is a clarion call to rebuild the altar of the Lord in our personal lives, families, and churches. 

🔥 1. Spiritual Rebuilding and Restoration
The central metaphor of the book is the rebuilding of spiritual "ruins"—broken altars, neglected prayer lives, wounded hearts, and lost intimacy with God. Readers are called to return to foundational faith and allow God to reconstruct their spiritual lives.

🙏 2. Intense Prayer and IntercessionA strong theme throughout is the call to deep, consistent, and sacrificial prayer. I emphasized the need for believers to move beyond surface-level devotion and engage in travailing, prophetic, and strategic intercession.

💔 3. Brokenness as the Path to RevivalI attempt to guide readers through the idea that personal and corporate revival often comes through seasons of pain, repentance, and breaking. God uses the ruins of our lives as the starting point for revival.

💡 4. Awakening and Urgency

There’s a prophetic urgency in the tone of the book—calling the Church and individual believers to wake up spiritually, prepare for the return of Christ, and stop delaying obedience.

🕊️ 5. Intimacy with God

True revival is portrayed not as a public spectacle, but as a private renewal of love, obedience, and communion with God. I invite readers to pursue intimacy through quiet time, worship, and heart-to-heart surrender.

🛠️ 6. Rebuilding the AltarThis is both literal and symbolic—restoring consistent devotional lives, spiritual disciplines, and family altars. It’s about reestablishing God as the center of everything.

🪔 7. Identity and Purpose Rediscovery

As God revives and rebuilds, readers are encouraged to rediscover their identity in Christ and walk boldly in their Kingdom assignment, no longer living as victims of past failures or delays.

📖 8. Scriptural Reflection and Application

Each section is infused with biblical examples, prophetic symbolism, and reflective insights, challenging the reader to apply the Word practically and personally.This book can be used by small groups, churches, and individuals across Jamaica and beyond for discussions, Prayer sessions and Quiet Contemplations.

Key Scripture: “If my people, who are called by my name…” (2 Chronicles 7:14) Other Devotionals and Journals
I’ve also created “Rebuilding the Altar: A 30-Day Devotional and Prayer Journal” which will be used alongside “From Ruins to Revival”. These devotionals are tools to guide you day by day into deeper intimacy with God.
