Synopsis

\x26#34;To be continued...\x26#34;
The words build anticipation for what\x27s coming . . . which is great for a Netflix binge, but not a healthy pattern for our lives. In real life, constant continuation causes our lives to pile up, episode upon episode, with no space for reflection or rest, contentment or closure.
This book is for the too\-busy, driven person who\x27s moving on to the next win, without ever processing how one season of life affects the next. It\x27s for the person stuck and held back because she\x27s never done the hard work of getting real closure on a season. When we fail to finish well, we live with a pile of unfinished beginnings. But finished things become usable things because they are a part of the story of God\x27s grace and faithfulness.
In these pages, you\x27ll discover:

  • How beginnings are important because they give birth to hope<\/li>
  • How we can hold on to hope when the journey is hard and the future is uncertain<\/li>
  • How to conclude moments, days, and seasons and find God\x27s grace to be enough<\/li>
  • How hope sustains us as we learn to live in this moment and discover the beauty of redemption<\/li><\/ul> The pressure of our piled up past needs to be brought to an end. Instead of vague storylines that stretch \x26#34;to be continued,\x26#34; learn to start with the end in mind: To Be Concluded.<\/i>
