My name is Latoya Jackson-Tulloch and I am an author, worship minister, intercessor, Mother of 2 and Wife of One.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 grew up with my grandmother and got saved at age 11. Most of my life I have been in church serving in the capacities of Praise and Worship, choir, Women’s Ministry, Preaching, Intercession, planning and writing different pieces for Meditation, plays and Poetry Night.1. Can you share your inspiration behind your specific book and how the idea came to fruition?The book was written based on the story in 1 Kings 18 I saw a lack in the church, where we stopped seeking God the way that we used to and the power that used to be evident in the church was no longer there. I started doing my research and out of this along with a request to speak at church one sunday came the word “Rebuild the Altar. Elijah on Mount Carmel calling a nation back to God - Jezebel and AhabChurch had stopped prayingI had stopped seekingInternal battles (overworked, dealing with rejection)2. How does your personal background or experiences influence the themes and characters in your writing?So even though this is the first book published, this is not the only thing that i am working on.I am working on a book called Ms Jus Granddaughter, where i highlight stories of life growing up in Rural Jamaica. Stories about helping grandma to move the cow, to plant the fields, market day, water day, walking to school and church life. Now the characters in this story would be shaped by my personal background, my experiences and these would definitely influence the themes in that book.Most of my writings are influenced by the experiences that I have gone through over the years. Most times this is how the Lord deals with me…through the experiences and then i am prompted to put them in either poetry form or a story.I grew up in rural Jamaica, where faith, family, and community were central. Those early experiences shaped my understanding of resilience, struggle, and spiritual heritage. My journey—especially my moments of loss, including the traumatic experience of temporary blindness and deep rejection—deeply influences my writing. You won’t find fictional characters in From Ruins to Revival, but you will find my heart, my wounds, and my restoration journey reflected throughout. Every theme—like rebuilding, repentance, and intimacy with God—was lived before it was written. (Get up and Go my personal experience has influenced what i wrote)3. What challenges did you face during the writing process, and how did you overcome them?Self doubt/What am i writing, does it make sense/will anyone read my bookTime constraint/Balancing work/church/family/school/marriageOne of the greatest challenges was emotional vulnerability. Writing a book like this meant revisiting some very painful seasons of my life. There were moments I had to pause and simply weep before God. Another challenge was balancing writing with all my other responsibilities—ministry, work, family. But I overcame it through disciplined time in prayer, accountability, and sheer obedience to the call. God gave grace for every moment I wanted to quit.4. Are there any particular authors or books that have significantly influenced your writing style or storytelling approach?Valentine RodneyNicholas RobertsonT.D. JakesStormie OmartianDefinitely. Authors like Stormie Omartian and Priscilla Shirer have influenced my approach to spiritual writing—balancing scriptural depth with relatable experience. I also admire T.D. Jakes for his transparent yet empowering voice. On the literary side, I draw from the narrative depth of Caribbean writers who capture our culture with authenticity. I try to weave all of that into a voice that feels both grounded and prophetic.5. Can you discuss the significance of the title of your book and how it encapsulates the essence of your work?A life without the hand of God will result in ruins. A nation that moves from the direction of following God’s voice to following idols will end up in ruins.When the place of prayer is broken down, your life will end up in ruins because the place from which you make decisions will be that of self and there is no voice of God to lead you.This book is a call to come back to the presence of the Lord. So often we wander away…sometimes without us realising.When we have realised, we feel as though we have gone too far. But he is reminding us that we can come back to him. The prodigal son went away, but then he came back to his senses…and returned home.Many have been wandering in the dark, unsure of where they are going…but if you would turn around and head back to his presence, you will see your life being transformed as soon as you begin the ...
