In real life, constant continuation causes our lives to pile up, episode upon episode, with no space for reflection or rest, contentment or closure. \u003cbr\u003e This book is for the too-busy, driven person who's moving on to the next win, without ever processing how one season of life affects the next. It's for the person stuck and held back because she's 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's grace and faithfulness. \u003cbr\u003e In these pages, you'll discover: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow beginnings are important because they give birth to hope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow we can hold on to hope when the journey is hard and the future is uncertain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to conclude moments, days, and seasons and find God's grace to be enough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow hope sustains us as we learn to live in this moment and discover the beauty of redemption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e The pressure of our piled up past needs to be brought to an end.
