Rhoda Benjamin was born in England and grew up in the beautiful island of Grenada, West Indies. She currently resides in Huntsville, Alabama, USA. For decades, her extensive professional background in behavioral health and nursing education has been enriched by a passion for poetry. Rhoda’s sincere desire is to transform lives with her poetic prose and arouse awareness of the everyday situations that affect human lives. Her first book, Kingdom Verses, won the 2020 Pacific Book Awards for best poetry. She anticipates that this second book, Kingdom Challenges: Hope for the Disquieted Soul, will also be a winner and accomplish its true purpose—to bring hope and inspiration to those who are experiencing disquietedness soul in this troubled and challenging times in which we live. She is happily married to Finbar Benjamin, and they are the proud parents of Esther Benjamin, a cellist and music educator.

“Kingdom Challenges: Hope for the Disquieted Soul” is the second of The Kingdom Books collection, comprising poetry with an underlying religious element. The Kingdom concept implies God is ultimately the inspiration behind the book, designed to bring hope, comfort, and peace to people currently experiencing challenging life events or who may have experienced such in the past. There is an interactive segment for devotional purposes to address needs and help bring relief to readers in an individual or group context. Some poems help bring awareness to the disturbing political culture that currently exists in the USA. Today, we find ourselves entangled in a political web, where science is being sacrificed, democracy is being destabilized, truth is being traumatized, COVID-19 is being politicized, and organizations that once were respected and trustworthy have lost credibility for being manipulated and under the influence of political drama. Unfortunately, the integrity of the voting process has also been brutalized with lies by individuals in top positions. It is my desire and expectation that this book will powerfully serve the purpose for which it was written-to present a brighter future of hope for those who have and are experiencing soul trauma, to enable them to live a holistic and fulfilled life, not only in this world, but also in the world to come, in God’s kingdom.
