Rooted & Restored: Finding God in Undesirable Soil Hardcover – April 25, 2025

Have you ever struggled to understand the season you are in? Are you in a season of life that feels undesirable? Are you experiencing something indescribably painful and up against insurmountable resistance? Is it difficult to trust that there is purpose in the pain? Do you find yourself questioning your purpose and placement? Are you searching for a more fulfilling life? Do you want the soil you are in to feel purposeful? God is the Master Gardener over our lives. Melia provides teaching tools to show others how to be in undesirable soil and bloom there, how to endure painful seasons and still grow and flourish. The very same God and Master Gardener, who placed us in soil we didn't want or wouldn't choose, is the same God who becomes the source of our nourishment to grow and flourish there. Discovering that we are purposefully placed, even in the undesirable, is a treasure worth finding. The soil we are in right now is where we are supposed to be. The method to flourishing may not be what you want, but it's what God knows that you need. He can be found in soil just like this-right where you are. Melia Chapman has lived through this very journey. She's wrestled with finding purpose in the midst of it all. By God's grace, she's discovered how to become rightly rooted as she's committed to a life of restoration through overcoming unforgiveness, disappointment and rejection. Rooted & Restored is a four-part book full of down to earth examples and thought provoking testimonies to help us flourish in the purpose God has for us...even in the unlikely places. From being planted to flourishing, walk through Melia's teachings on how to encounter God in undesirable soil, in trenches, in valleys, in fire seasons-to reveal who God is in those circumstances.
