Austere Beauty: Rushing Shores Over the Horizon

By Alyse Mone't

This book, Rushing Shores, is about growth about overcoming obstacles and facing your obstacles and fears head on! About developing yourself in every way to accomplishing and achieve true happiness, by living the life you dream of or see yourself having lie realistically, of course, because so many things distract us in life so we get derailed and we tend to lose sight of our purpose and goals. We tend to get discouraged for whatever the reason . . . Life happens. While I was going and still going through a great deal in my life and have a sense of urgency to tell a bit of my story the best way I can and know how to. To reach out and encourage someone. Otherwise, my struggle, "struggles," would feel like they were in vein. This story is far from written; these poems and commentaries come from a really deep and meaningful place! This book entails and touches on these points. . .StrengthweaknessFaithGrowth and maturityVisionChallenging your limitations(Little by little, it's peeling back those layers we have on us, just having an open mind and heart, and about my experiences told in a unique way. Life through my eyes and perspectives of what I have lived.)"It's short and sweet," and if it helps great, then its purpose has been fulfilled and put to good use.Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.—Philippians 2:9–11(This is the good news)
