Rose from the Concrete

By Sheri Renee Brown

Rose from the Concrete is a unique book of poetry filled with passion, with a delightful spin on my roller-coaster life. One of my dreams was to become a writer. What a journey! It appeared impossible. The struggles in my mind were so enormous, especially the audacity of thinking I could go beyond my capabilities.

Beautiful expressions of loveliness, these masterfully crafted poems did not start out that way. I had to believe in myself and my creations. I had to say it, eliminating the seeds of weeds in my thinking, and speaking, planting seeds of possibilities knowing that they would grow.

Now armed with fruits of confidence, I release these beauties. They will whisk you away into the arms of hope. They will inspire you.

From dirt to diamond, becoming a savage, eating cabbage, the truth is, I learn to trust that, it is not by might, nor by power but by the Spirit of the Lord Almighty. I rise.

Sheri Renee Brown

Sheri Renee Brown is a freshly published author who accidently started writing when her friend (a ghostwriter) was inspired by her story while writing and returned the manuscript, finishing his own book instead. Sheri decided to get her feet wet and write it herself, just taking tidbits of the manuscript, and self-published a booklet called Exit the Game in 2001. To her surprise, the booklet took off, landing in stores, prisons, rehabilitation centers, churches, domestic violence shelters, campuses. She made lemonade out of lemons and helped many thirsty people. She is a passionate writer, mother, prophetess, and ordained pastor. A former radio personality, Sheri broadcast A Word in Season for several years in Kansas City, Missouri, and Pensacola, Florida. She also had a ministry in her home called the Meeting Place, a youth group called Challengers for Christ, and a prison ministry. Sheri’s a powerful, anointed speaker who has spoken in auditoriums, in churches, on radio, on TV, or just one-on-one. Sheri makes her home in Miami Beach, Florida.
