PSALMS 71:2 DELIVER ME IN THY RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND CAUSE ME TO ESCAPE INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO ME, AND SAVE ME I titled this book the Great X-Cape because I always thought of myself as invincible, as most of us do, and some more than others. The Bible says that as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7) Not in this case! Imagine having Aquaman as your hero but he can't even swim, or Superman and Batman and they can't fly. I had my own self-made cape that I wore everywhere I went, being my own superhero. I had much faith in myself, in my abilities, my talents, my intelligence, and all of the things that failed me in my time of need. Today, I am a retired superhero, surrendering my cape to the One who rightfully deserves to wear it. The One who does not fail in our time of need, who truly is my Hero, and has saved me from the biggest enemy I've ever had: myself. There are many things in my life that God has allowed me to escape from, and by the end of my book I will have listed a lot of them, but truly, I just can't tell it all. By coming to the end of faith in myself, I found faith in Him. By coming to the end of my own life, I finally found His, and that is truly the greatest escape that we can ever make!

We all have grown-up with superheroes: Superman, Batman, the Lone Ranger, Spiderman, and more. Angel Brown has written “The Great X-Cape” to showcase her Superhero: JESUS, the King of Glory!
After years of donning her own cape, she came to the realization that, in and of ourselves, we are nothing. Jesus is the rightful owner of that “superhero cape” – one that is supernatural, commanding all of our honor, respect and glory that is due Him. During one of the darkest periods of her life, Angel laid down her claim to her life, and made her great escape. Jesus began a work in her life that is on-going, just as it is with all believers, until we are complete in Him.
The Great X-Cape chronicles a variety of Angel’s experiences, and how God showed her what the “truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth” really was. Living what she thought was the American dream, pursuing a career, and living her life on her own terms brought years of struggle and frustration. As she began to discover God’s perfect plan for her life, Angel grew in the grace and knowledge of Him, allowing her to relinquish control over to her new Superhero.
The author weaves the Holy Scriptures throughout her book in a way that brings practical help and encouragement to the reader. Her biblical applications enable us to understand how God wants to free us from ourselves, in order to bring Him glory. We cannot continue in our own strength for long, without running full-force into our own pride and human limitations. The Great X-Cape brings a fresh, personal look at how Angel overcame herself, and allowed God to showcase her as one of His crowning accomplishments – a true daughter of the King.
