In these pages, you will meet a little girl who dreamed of being a sculpted ballerina and a God who wastes nothing.
This is my story, from a carpet encounter with the Most High God to walking into the unknown. This is the path I took—an honest account, over three months—to obey an unusual call. This is my trembling voice in a world where transparency and vulnerability are looked upon as weaknesses.
As I wrote A Moved Soul, my awareness heightened of how we miss the glory of God while we attempt to talk our way out of the will of God. We shrink to fit in the box the world creates for us. So I wrote this to show you in real-time what an encounter with God looks like, feels like, and how, if we are not intentional, we dismiss unusual promptings from God because we can’t explain them to ourselves, much less others.
A Moved Soul is you. Someone so moved by encountering God that they take action. My hope is that my story will inspire you to quickly and boldly respond as you hold tight to the One who called you. This book is for anyone in need of courage to move beyond the norm, shed expectations, and embrace the possibilities while clinging to the One who makes all things possible.
You Want Me To Do What?
Through powerful storytelling and insightful reflection, author Brenda A. Haire challenges readers to ask themselves: What if encountering God is meant to shake us out of our comfort zones? What if responding to God's call requires us to take risks and step into the unknown?
In A Moved Soul, Brenda invites you on a journey of bold and daring encounters with God. From the first pages, her passion for God is evident, as she recounts personal experiences of encountering God's presence and being called to respond in radical ways.
This diary-style memoir offers a fresh perspective on what it means to live a life of faith and surrender. Whether you are a seasoned believer or just starting out on your journey, this book will inspire and empower you to respond boldly to the God who is calling you to a life of purpose and meaning.
So, are you ready to answer the call? Are you ready to be moved by God? Join Brenda on this journey and discover what it means to boldly respond to encountering God.
