Rhoda Benjamin Kingdom Challenges Hope for the Disquieted Soul

Annotation

"Kingdom Challenges: Hope for the Disquieted Soul" is the second of The Kingdom Books collection, comprising poetry with an underlying religious element. The Kingdom concept implies God is ultimately the inspiration behind the book, designed to bring hope, comfort, and peace to people currently experiencing challenging life events or who may have experienced such in the past. There is an interactive segment for devotional purposes to address needs and help bring relief to readers in an individual or group context. Some poems help bring awareness to the disturbing political culture that currently exists in the USA. Today, we find ourselves entangled in a political web, where science is being sacrificed, democracy is being destabilized, truth is being traumatized, COVID-19 is being politicized, and organizations that once were respected and trustworthy have lost credibility for being manipulated and under the influence of political drama. Unfortunately, the integrity of the voting process has also been brutalized with lies by individuals in top positions. It is my desire and expectation that this book will powerfully serve the purpose for which it was written-to present a brighter future of hope for those who have and are experiencing soul trauma, to enable them to live a holistic and fulfilled life, not only in this world, but also in the world to come, in God's kingdom.
