Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritual growth and a plant’s growth cycle are not different. Like the balloon plant, Christians grow in stages. Our spiritual timeline begins once we accept Christ. Then a seed germinates into a young plant that eventually blooms and shares faith experiences, which reproduces more faith and spreads seeds according to God’s plan. Finally, the plant develops into a mature Christian who is God’s harvester in preordained gardens. In the conclusion of her discipleship trilogy, Reverend Barbara A. F. Brehon shares scripture, wisdom, and a plant lifecycle comparison to gently move believers toward the light of the Lord in their respective growing seasons. Through her guidance, believers will learn how to strengthen their faith and sow seeds that encourage new believers and others to bloom where they are planted, clarify and fulfill their divine purpose, and grow intimacy with the Lord, who refines the mission. Blooming for Christ is an enlightening guide that offers scripture and insight to help believers grow closer to God and please the Lord in all seasons of life.
