You’re alone. You’re invisible. You’re so tired of living in the dark with your secrets. The abuse, the outcasting, the loss keeps you inside yourself. The pain has you trapped. There must be something wrong with you. There has to be more, right? Is there even a God listening? Could you dare let someone into your suffering? If only others knew how wrong it felt to be alive.

If only you knew there’s more. You see, you are an oak. In the roots phase of your growth, it will be hard. It’s supposed to be hard, because you have a destination to grow into. The oak’s stability and strength was all grown underground, not visible to the people around it. People only see what the tree became above the ground, not understanding the true strength is what was grown underneath. It’s because of how hard your life has been that it’s going to be beautiful, you just wait.

Roots of an Oak is for listeners who are tired of living small and are serious about using their pain to reach new heights. It’s for readers who realize that to overcome, you have to study overcomers. Walk alongside the author as she tells her story—with transparency and vulnerability—about overcoming her own underground places, so you can see what’s possible in yours. Be prepared to be met in your dark places and for practical insight into transforming them into growth opportunities.
