This acclaimed post-apocalyptic novel of hope and terror from an award-winning author "pairs well with 1984 or The Handmaid's Tale" and includes a foreword by N. K. Jemisin (John Green, New York Times). When global climate change and economic crises lead to social chaos in the early 2020s, California becomes full of dangers, from pervasive water shortage to masses of vagabonds who will do anything to live to see another day. Fifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives inside a gated community with her preacher father, family, and neighbors, sheltered from the surrounding anarchy. In a society where any vulnerability is a risk, she suffers from hyperempathy, a debilitating sensitivity to others' emotions. Precocious and clear-eyed, Lauren must make her voice heard in order to protect her loved ones from the imminent disasters her small community stubbornly ignores. But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: the birth of a new faith . . . and a startling vision of human destiny.

A Cultivated Heart explores the Christ's teaching of the Parable of the Sower. This study is for those who have a hunger and thirst for God's Word, but have found it difficult to digest the teaching of the parables. Those that are yet being cultivated by God's Word. While Christ was here on earth He demonstrated His authority, by healing the sick, raising the dead, casting out demons and performing miracles throughout the land. In order for people to receive the message of the Kingdom, they first have to encounter the authority of the King. His purpose was not just to demonstrate His authority as the son of God, but to activate the authority in us that was given to us in the beginning. We still walk as people without hope. We allow situations to shatter our dreams, visions and promises because we don't know who we are. We have become spiritually insecure, doubtful, fearful and hopeless, because we have not grasped the true gospel of Christ. This book was written as a study tool for the body of Christ. In studying the Kingdom Parable of the Sower we pray that you the reader will be able to plunge into your inherited position as a predestined ruler on earth. I Cor. 4:20 reads: "For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power." We just can't talk the talk we have to walk the walk. (James 1:22) Talking the talk is religion, walking the walk is taking authority. I pray that your mind will be renewed as you study the message of Jesus. "The Sower."

Explanation of the Parable of the Sower in its entirety. We will explain the details in their biblical context and extract the truth implicit in each part of this parable. We will also combine the three perspectives of the details in Matthew 13, Mark 4, and Luke 8. Jesus Himself said that the parable of the sower is the key to understanding all the other parables as it is stated in Mark 4:13. Solid biblical knowledge for those who want to learn the truths hidden in the Scriptures. It's impossible to have a complete perspective of the biblical program that God has detailed for believers in the biblical text without understanding this parable. I would venture to say that the reason many believers live in a chaotic spiritual state is because of their lack of knowledge and understanding of the Scriptures, and understanding the parable of the sower is something that every believer should know almost immediately after the experience of being born again. Sadly, most of the teaching in churches today, and even in Christian literature, focuses on material wealth instead of spiritual growth. By no means am I criticizing anyone, for each one of us will be held accountable to God either at the judgment seat of Christ as stated in Romans 14:10; 1 Corinthians 4:5; 2 Corinthians 5:10, or at the white throne judgment of the damned in the lake of fire as stated in Revelation 20:11-15; Matthew 25:41; Mark 16:16; John 3:36. In this book you will find the answer to every single word used in connection with the parable of the sower, each one explained in its proper context and theme. After many years of teaching the Scriptures, I can tell you that you will find every answer to every question you may have if you search the biblical text and are open to being taught. I have never been motivated by financial gain or fame because I know what my God has said in His divine Word and my reward will come from Him and not from human recognition. I praise my God for allowing me to publish this book and share the wisdom and understanding that comes from Him [Matthew 11:25; Ephesians 1:17].

Now more relevant than ever, don’t miss this special collection from the New York Times bestselling author Octavia E. Butler! Parable of the Sower: When global climate change and economic crises lead to social chaos in the early 2020s, California becomes full of dangers, from pervasive water shortage to masses of vagabonds who will do anything to live to see another day. Fifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives inside a gated community with her preacher father, family, and neighbors, sheltered from the surrounding anarchy. In a society where any vulnerability is a risk, she suffers from hyperempathy, a debilitating sensitivity to others' emotions. Precocious and clear-eyed, Lauren must make her voice heard in order to protect her loved ones from the imminent disasters her small community stubbornly ignores. But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: the birth of a new faith . . . and a startling vision of human destiny. Parable of the Talents: In 2032, Lauren Olamina has survived the destruction of her home and family, and realized her vision of a peaceful community in northern California based on her newly founded faith, Earthseed. The fledgling community provides refuge for outcasts facing persecution after the election of an ultra-conservative president who vows to "make America great again." In an increasingly divided and dangerous nation, Lauren's subversive colony--a minority religious faction led by a young black woman--becomes a target for President Jarret's reign of terror and oppression. Years later, Asha Vere reads the journals of a mother she never knew, Lauren Olamina. As she searches for answers about her own past, she also struggles to reconcile with the legacy of a mother caught between her duty to her chosen family and her calling to lead humankind into a better future.
