The Rosebud

In this breathtaking book, Inspirational Author, Speaker and Coach Neal Scott tells a soul-stirring story that will truly open minds and hearts. He uses the analogy between the workings of nature and human existence to share how God's handiwork nurtured, planted, rooted and lived out in his life.
As a young boy who joyfully grew up singing God's praises as part of The Rosebud Choir, he privately suffered an identity shift. He was seen walking down dark paths where faulty judgement spoke and acted as the light of the world. He wandered around in darkness seeking to receive his source of energy from deceptive hearts uncaring and unconcerned about his seasonal depressions. Temptation and sinful desires were the rulers of the free world controlling his thoughts and emotions. He fell into a deep state of depression and suffered severe anxiety. As conditions worsened, the little light that was left started to flicker before going out.
In the still of the night, Scott surrendered to God's will for his life. He learned that the Lord is the sun and shield who supplies every need for his children. God wants new life and growth for those who believe in him with all of their heart. The process of restoration and transformation begin at the root of God's love where all understanding comes from. Thus, he shall establish a solid foundation of principles that will keep us grounded and in good condition.
The phases of Scott's life are creatively expressed through the inspiring conviction of the Holy Spirit dwelling in him since he was a youth. The Holy Spirit has been with him since childhood and he was purposefully formed into The Rosebud because God knew one day the after effects would be greater than the temporary storms of life. God knew that one day Scott would reach full development. Thus, becoming divinely rooted and inspired by the seeds of love, faith and wisdom.
