Take a step forward. Enjoy the process. Dare to listen to God's Voice and hope for the impossible.

In Small Beginnings, Sara Thurman, artist, author, and founder of a Christian business called Acts 1:8 Blessings, pens her inspiring true story of becoming an artist by pursuing God's calling. Sara shares how her creative path intertwines with our own impossible journey by giving hope to what seems unreachable. Small Beginnings is anchored on Sara's belief that we all have an innate ability to create and it will teach you how to discover and focus on your own gifts to build a life and work full of purpose.

This woven tapestry of devotional stories and testimonies gives light to the steps she took to reach goals beyond her wildest dreams. For more than 56 years, this former teacher and public school administrator never considered herself an artist. In fact, Sara had never taken a single art class. After believing the truth of a new identity spoken over her, she began to paint and sell her faith-based art. In two short years, she has painted and sold over 800 pieces of Christian inspired art. 

Sara writes as if you two are talking in her living room or art studio. These poignant and relatable stories go beyond the art world. She will have you laughing, crying and believing you, too, can reach the impossible and be a servant of God.
