Andrea M. Renfroe

God intends for His children to grow up into the full stature and measure of Christ which is essentially a call to transform and a command to OCCUPY. This isn't simply a spiritual appeal. It is an appeal that addresses every aspect of a believer's life. The gems within these pages reveal people at different points in life and distinct places in the transformation process. Despite their differences, they share a common objective and that is to answer God's call to OCCUPY. Their work ranges from encouragement to poetry, prayers to declarations, and testimonies to heartfelt insight. No matter your literary inclination, you will find something that provokes you to answer the call as well.

We've all had good, bad, and ugly experiences in life. We've also observed the experiences of others whether up front or from afar. No matter our connection to the experience, we were inspired in one way or another. Inspiration can emerge from a relationship, an event, a song, a picture, a movie, a smell, or even a sound. Despite the medium that prompts inspiration, it's the result of the inspiration that matters most. Inspired was birthed from Andrea's experiences, as well as her observations of and exchanges with others. It is also a tribute to each person who served as a source of inspiration for its contents. Although some narratives and poems do not reflect beautiful or pleasant situations, the messages they carry are intended to give readers hope and inspire them to live abundantly, love unconditionally, and know Christ intimately.
