Conquering the Seeds of Destruction Workbook is the accompaniment to Maureen Y. Smith's book titled the same. Seeking to eliminate the destructive seeds of miscommunication and misinterpretation, disapproval, anger, loneliness, violation, gossip, bitterness, jealousy, greed, pride, hunger, and lust that often arrive through traumatic life experiences to live out the fruits of the Spirit, workbook participants, either individually or in a small-group setting, are invited on a journey of discovery through reflective questions and elimination through employing God's Word to each of the areas included. The workbook includes space for participants to write their testimonies that can be shared in a group setting. This Christian workbook encourages each participant to dig deeply into their life issues, to be courageous and uncover the roots of destruction in their life, and get rid of them through their identity and authority as God's children to live life more abundantly.

Have you conquered destructive seeds in your life? Do you find yourself struggling with situations from your past that you thought you had let go of? Have you avoided various temptations in your life only to find yourself still wanting to experience, fulfill, and satisfy the desires of your temptations? Are you yearning to be set free and delivered from the negative influences corrupting your life? Now is the time to end the downward slopes of condemnation, chaos, and confusion. In Conquering the Seeds of Destruction, Maureen Y. Smith guides you on a spiritual journey that examines the dilemma of overcoming life's issues. She gives you a step-by-step approach of how we allow the enemy's voice and people's opinions to resonate in our minds, luring us into a path of destruction. Unfortunately, it is not until we experience unbearable, life-altering conflicts that we decide change is necessary. As you learn from men and women in the Bible, as well as her own life, she addresses personal struggles and realistic issues of today, while showing you the tools to not only survive destructive patterns but to discover how to live life in abundance.

Thomas Merton (1915-1968) is one of the foremost spiritual thinkers of the twentieth century. Though he lived a mostly solitary existence as a Trappist monk, he had a dynamic impact on world affairs through his writing. An outspoken proponent of the antiwar and civil rights movements, he was both hailed as a prophet and castigated for his social criticism. He was also unique among religious leaders in his embrace of Eastern mysticism, positing it as complementary to the Western sacred tradition. Merton is the author of over forty books of poetry, essays, and religious writing, including Mystics and Zen Masters, and The Seven Story Mountain, for which he is best known. His work continues to be widely read to this day.

Elizabeth Abbott Green has written a compelling narrative of the life of a family, lived well but not without struggle...a life that spans the last half of the 20th Century and into the Millenium, a life of equal parts of joy, heartache...and faith. Even though the rigors of a military life impose unique requirements on the family...the added pressures of a foreign war, extended absence from the family unit by the military member, unexpected and frequent family moves and changes of schools...our family seemed to adapt well, and, for a time, to thrive. The catalyst for the book, "Seeds of Destruction," was a major incident that almost took the life of our second son Greg. The book should be interesting to many audiences: young military families trying to cope with the almost constant overseas demands placed on them in today’s military; people of all ages who love travel and are willing and able to accept the challenge; and Christians everywhere who are interested in Bible prophecy. Seeds of Destruction is the work of a lifetime, not only of the entire family who lived it, but especially a work of total commitment for over 30 years by the author, and the focused study of Christianity and the signs of our times. Elizabeth Abbott Green’s analysis of the true path to God’s will for us is exemplary, and I believe it should be read by all who feel that much of today’s world is taking us in the opposite direction.
