Hannah's Journey To Purpose is about the trials we face, the purpose for them, and the blessings that come as a result. Trials, we all endure them, and some are so bad we do not think we will make it; despair sets in with a feeling within that life is coming to an end! You just cannot take it.
This book takes a look at the Jewish customs of the Betrothal period and up to the day of the Wedding and the ceremonies and feasts that take place and what it means for us.
Hannah felt the pain and the despair of her trial; not being able to have children. Hannah and Elkanah were married and in love and wanted to grow their love into a family. There was just one problem with that, she was barren. Months became years and tears filled her heart, but she did not give up and kept persevering through prayer.
What Hannah did not realize was that her barrenness would blossom into Samuel. He was a prophet, a priest, the last of the judges, and the first to anoint kings. What trials are you going through? Dare to trust God through them and discover what He wants to blossom out of your trials.
