"Descriptive and real." -Rich Anderson, educator and pastor "It has been such a godsend to be reading your stories during this time. They have been such a balm." -Dr. Susan Rose, academic administrator and counselor After reading Long Handled Hoe? , I was so encouraged. The text was conversational and authentic. In today's divisive world, we all need a sense of reality bathed in hope. This collection of essays does just that. Each piece in the anthology hits you in different ways, but the common thread that runs through it is one of faith and hope. If you are a leader, an aspiring leader, or someone who just needs a healthy dose of optimism in your life, Long Handled Hoe? will give you that in abundance. I look forward to seeing how the seeds of hope in this collection bears fruit in the lives of everyone who reads it. -Dr. Amon Couch, school administrator and adjunct professor Panic attacks? Needing antidepressants? Facing fears and troubles after being a disappointment to self...and maybe to God? Here on earth, we face enemies, pandemics, fears, and failures, yet we can turn to God. What He does though...is not what we expect. Read how these educators in the natural learned how God is a faithful God during everyday trials and how "high-yield" answered prayers are for the asking.
