On Being Soil: How Messiah's Kingdom Takes Root Through Repentance, Rest, and a Radical Return to Trust

The Parable of the Four Soils is not just a simple, ancient story; it's an invitation that unfolds as we allow the Great Sower to examine the soil of our hearts and teach us how his Word can take deep root and flourish in our lives like never before.

Find out how much you are loved by surrendering to the Holy Spirit's transforming power through repentance, resting in the Lord's presence, and returning to deep trust in the Father. Is the soil of your heart more like the hardened path, rocky ground, thorny soil, or the good earth--or maybe all four in one way or another? Dig deep into scripture and uncover how each kind of soil represents a different way we receive and respond to the Lord. Walk through the practical steps in this book to help you see where you are in your faith and how to make more room for the Kingdom of Heaven to grow within you.

As you journey through these pages, you will hear the call to:

• Open your heart to radical healing and hope for the future
