Flourish

Finding Purpose in the Unknown and Unexpected Seasons of Life

De: Grace Wabuke Klein, Bob Goff - foreword

Narrado por: Grace Wabuke Klein, Bob Goff

This guide to living well through all the seasons of life encourages listeners to trust God's timing and hold onto hope in the periods of waiting.

The trials of life can wear us down. Unexpected events force us to face a new reality and unanswered prayers lead us to a growing frustration about why God doesn’t intervene. We wonder if anything good can come out of this painful, dark, winter season.

Grace Wabuke Klein knows that there is purpose in our darkest days and seasons of waiting. In Flourish, Grace meets the listener in their heartache, disappointment, and pain and gives encouragement and a fresh perspective on the winter seasons we all go through, as well as practical steps to not just survive but to find purpose in the unknown and unexpected.

Drawing insight from her own winter seasons, Grace reveals the divine purpose in each season of our lives. She explains how:

• Fall is a time of release—a necessary season of letting go of offenses, unhealthy relationships, hurts, bad habits, toxic friendships, pride, unforgiveness and other heart issues before we can ever move on to the next season
• Winter is a time of unexpected challenges and unknown futures—yet lessons learned in life’s storms are deep and full of growth to shape us and makes us stronger.
• Spring is a time of new things that require us to be open to new experiences, people, ideas, and perspective—stepping out into the unknown and uncomfortable.
• Summer is a time when everything is flourishing—we clearly see how each season cultivated a deeper level of faith and spiritual muscles, developing our character and perseverance.

Grace discovered there is value and unseen gifts in each season, but only in the hard seasons and storms of life are vital spiritual disciplines developed. Flourish connects with the reader in the tension and storms of life to bring a word of hope.

God is using Grace in a remarkable way!

Wow...such a timely book for me personally. Grace 's vulnerability was so evident. This book is a great read and very heartfelt. I love how practical it is and how Grace didn't hold back as she clearly wants to helps help others through their unexpected waiting periods. Thank you, Grace and I can't wait for you to bring the word that God has put in your heart for the women of SWFL in January 2025. Blessings 🌹 Tasha

Love it for self growth and reflection

I love the way she provides practical applications and exercises along with her beautiful story! I feel like I could read this book a hundred more times and still get something from to grow myself everytime! Definitely worth buying a hard copy to study along with as well!

What it means to truly wait in the Lord and receive Gods reward

Flourish is an absolutely amazing book that ministered to me in an unexpected season of my life. This book was so well written and filled with analogies, illustrations and beautiful stories. I truly appreciated Grace’s journey, her awesome testimony, and the miracles that God did in her life. She deeply understands what it means to wait on the Lord when her circumstances did not present any encouragement of what she was believing for. Her commitment and dedication to Christ was unwavering. I read chapter 11 repeatedly as I really needed to hear the words of encouragement while at this place in my life. Anyone in a season of confusion or bewilderment will be encouraged by reading this book and know that God is in control and worthy of trust even when you can’t see His hand.

Inspiring story of faith!

This book is honest, heartwarming and inspiring! Grace’s story of a woman who loves and trusts God, no matter the difficulty is encouraging. Seeing how God has blessed her and watching her flourish in the process empowers me to stay true to God and my daily walk with Him. Thank you for sharing your story!

Beautiful book

A book that helps you to focus on Gods will and learning to trust Him no matter what is going
I’m in your life.

Incredibly timely and soothed my spirit.

It is hard to describe how timely and perfect this book was in my life. I happened upon it via Instagram and began a journey of gratitude, healing, perspective, and slowing down to truly appreciate life's different, sometimes difficult, seasons. This book was so meaningful to me that I've already bought 9 copies and given it to many friends. Their response is the same. It's incredibly beautiful to see how one book can impact so many lives and build hope and faith at the same time. Grace has done such a wonderful job sharing so authentically with vulnerability. I am in awe of her character and see God's goodness in her life. She exudes it through the pages; honestly, her life inspires me to draw closer to the Lord. Thank you, Grace, for writing this book in obedience. Definitely, a book I will reread time and time again!

Learned from this, and very engaging.

I loved hearing this in Grace’s voice, and with her intonation and delivery. I think you’ll be able to return to this material over and over again because life is always changing. You’ll be able to identify your current season, and any future seasons, and use this because it is both spiritual, and spiritually practical.
