Human life begins when a seed is planted, nurtured, and protected. That seed will bloom into a human being that will be shaped by experiences. Those experiences are more than events, people, places, and things. Instead, each experience represents a new seed entering our journey that will be planted and watered or passed on. No matter how far we go in life, there will always be a point where we are called to reflect on our past to assess our beginning.The Seeds of Hope will take readers on nine authors' amazing journeys through reflections on soul-shaping moments brought about by seeds long since planted, ripened, and ready for harvest. There will be seeds that were intentionally incorporated while heading to a specific destination or those of divine purpose, reason, and season. In all, Seeds of Hope will add context to the complexities of spiritual growth.By inviting readers to the challenge of identifying their seeds, Seeds of Hope becomes a useful resource to create your own sacred space to commune, explore, practically apply, and rise. God made us all in His image and He is multifaceted; just as each soul who begins their journey as a seed.Join Rochinda Pickens and co-authors as they invite you into the many facets, trials, and tribulations proving there is no story void of God's glory.
