Book Cover & Preview Text
Dear Readers,
God has impressed on my heart to share a story that encompasses the full
weight and breadth of how calculated God is with the plan he has for your life. We are all searching for meaning and purpose on this earth as we expand our knowledge and visual landscape collection based on the unique experiences we walk through. As the war against our mind rages, I am committed to speaking truth in the words that fill these pages. No matter how this book found you, please take a moment to thank God for bringing you to this point of your life, where you are open and ready to receive his life-giving spirit in your heart. I am just a messenger on assignment to deliver the humble and hope-filled good news that Jesus already proclaimed for you over 2,000 years ago.
"Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.”
-1John 3:8 (ESV)
My pursuit to seek God has made me realize that I was never the one responsible for finding anything, but in God's word I am ordered to surrender everything. This life is a gift and I fully intend on cashing in every broken fragmented piece of my heart in exchange for heavenly provisions.
"And he said to all ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.”
-Luke 9:23-24
As we wait expectantly for Jesus to return, we can take heart knowing each day has a divine purpose and is intended to prepare us for the work God has set aside as our civic duty to those he predestined to be the citizens of high heaven. You may find that you are in a projected spiritual growth season, or you may have just discovered idols that are in the way of your ultimate kingdom inheritance. Either way we can all find ways to grow closer to the path God has set out for us to walk or run, depending on your endurance.
My hope is that my story will cause you to reflect on your life and serve as a catalyst to help propel you deeper in your relationship to our shared father.
For those who feel broken beyond repair,
hurt beyond help,
lost with no emergency exit,
And tired without any rest in sight;
brother and sister, are in the right pages to lead you on your path to freedom, hope, redemption, and peace.
With Bountiful Grace & Love,
Crystal Lebo

About the Book
Hourglass is a story that shares the heart God has for you by bringing in personal testimonies, historical context, and biblical scripture to reinforce the way we are to live as believers and view the world around us.

As you read the personal narrative of the author, new wisdom unfolds throughout the book to reveal a greater sense of duty to preserve biblical commands and teachings. The book highlights practical steps you can take to connect closer with God and offers reflection questions with prayer passages to help you apply the understanding of God’s word. With recollections from past historic war battles and current events, there is a deep emphasis to bring out the character of how God works through us in times of old and new to bring victory for his people. The overall theme is centered in faith and speaks to a profound call of action to align your life with God’s truth about your identity and the spiritual gifts you carry. As you encounter the true transformative power of God’s word, you will experience a new hope that echoes beyond anything the world could fabricate.
