Seed time by Sandy Burrell
Most of the times you just need a break from everything because it's too much and I think this is just the read that will help you onto the path of self peace

I was drawn to this book because of one sole reason, in a way it brings realism and biblical principles to self help. I was sold because I am bored reading the same old success sef help books, wanted a something refreshing. I am glad i picked up the valuable book.

I feel the book delivers not only a fresh perspective on mindful livin', that changes the way you think, it shed light on the danger and downfalls we are making and then only discusses key to achieve better way of living.

With Chock-full of inspiring quotes, actionable advices and concrete solutions and takeways I found the book to be kind, encouraging that lifted my spirits.It provides essential blueprints for growth and self overcoming.
🌟🌟🌟🌟 For this elegantly written book.

“What’s the appropriate age for something? That’s always debatable. There is an ideal age. But that is not always the right time. Sound judgment will determine when the right time is. Decisions as always are 50-50 chance of win or lose. Stick to your guns no matter what and learn from the experience,” writes Sandy Burrell in his new book, titled Seed Time: An Inspirational Book for the Youth. It’s a change in terms of tonality from standard fare aimed at younger people these days. Many youth-oriented works, for better or for worse, seem to focus with almost melancholic, pre-apocalyptic euphemisms concerning the future - rather than on utilizing the opportunities of today for a better tomorrow. Burrell is wholly aware of this, and it’s an ideological subtext he revisits regularly throughout the read. There’s a sense of urgency to the writing in this regard, almost a sense of wanting to shake the modern youth awake and remind them of archaic things like responsibility, (traditional) hard work, earning things over feelings of deserving them, and so on. The titular ‘Seed Time’ also plays into this subtext, urging the reader(s) to hone in on something while it is still green, fresh, and new. “Youth are the future without question. But how are we preparing the future? Are we taking steps to make sure they are ready? Are we throwing them into a situation and hoping they figure it out without some sort of strategy? If we are teaching, do we over preach? Under preach? Or balance it out giving them enough to work with?” Burrell writes. “How do we share out knowledge and values? Do we ram it down their throats telling them it’s this way or else? Do we sit back and hope they appreciate it? Or do we balance it out showing why something means a big deal to you? The more you talk about things in past tense the more it stays that way. We don’t need to get ‘hip’ with the message. But we do need to show how someone now, benefits from something that happened years ago.”

He reflects this with his own, opening sentiments, writing: “The book at times uses stories from the bible that fit (this) conversation. However I am not a minister or a member of the clergy. There is no expounding of theology here. At times you will see me borrow from events of what I experienced as a person that fits the discussion. In general my hope is this book will find an audience with the youth and anyone that is looking to grow as an individual. Also to create dialog with parents and children, there is only so much I can do. It isn’t up to me to raise another person’s child. That is still up to the parent. So the final chapter of this book is my passing the torch back to the parent.”

It’s this mixture of humility and belief that powers Seed Time forward, making it a welcome relief from typical fare in this vein.

Grade: A-

I especially liked the core concept surrounding the book. It is an inspirational self-help book that will impart lessons on wisdom and life flow. The author has indulged his life experiences and learning offering a personal insight to approach real-time issues. In this book, the author is treating our body and mind as soil and we can implant any thoughts into them. From shaping our life patterns to adopting healthy positive habits, the book will change your perception. A self-help book is always like a welcoming whip of fresh air and this book certainly served the purpose. The content is very diligently crafted, keeping the topics crisp and clear. Again as it is self-help personality development guidance, reading it slowing and absorbing and assimilating its concepts is the main aim. If you wish to step closer to self-actualisation, then this book will help you to take that daring leap of faith.

[Fathima Shifa · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a book packed with fundamental knowledge and useful advice, some of which is rooted in biblical teachings and directed toward both personal development and the growth of leadership. Despite being accessible to readers of all ages, this book is encouraging for young people. The author describes how a person may mould his or her own views and ideas to mould their life, and even their own body. From the day we are born, we are constantly learning, growing, and developing. This book helps us to understand how we progress through various life goals at various points in time. Reading this insightful book was a bliss.
I liked how the author has kept this book short and effective unlike other non fictional reads which sometimes would feel stretched.
