“To Walk On Fertile Ground”
STARKVILLE, MISS., June 12, 2008—Professional Speaker and Life and Business Coach Kristi Brown has just released her first book, To Walk on Fertile Ground, through Book Surge Publishing and is already gaining praise for her honest and inspirational look at infertility, cancer and faith.
To Walk on Fertile Ground is an intimate book that encourages women and families who struggle with the alienation, altered lifestyles and physical limitations due to infertility and inspires anyone who has experienced or witnessed the life-altering effects of cancer. Readers will find hope for a purposeful life and plan, regardless of their circumstances. Planting seeds of hope and encouragement, this book is a wonderful example of learning to walk in everyday faith and learning to recognize and embrace grace. Readers will come face-to-face with how faith sustains us through the droughts in our lives only to be
re-planted, re-watered, and re-rooted in the fertile grounds of spiritual growth and reflection.
Early reader reviews of the book have been overwhelmingly positive. One reader said of the book, “(It’s) an honest, inspirational look at the struggles associated with fertility issues. A must read for those facing these issues or for those who know someone going through it. Emotional, touching, and very relatable. God’s handiwork is all over this one!”
Another reader said, “Poignant, compelling, engaging…..one of those books to read and re-read. Beautiful story, even more beautiful soul.”
