103-Year-Old Preacher Pens First Book, Inspiring Millions
10 Jun
Summary
- A 103-year-old woman published her first book of reflections.
- Writings were inspired by nature's contrast during the pandemic.
- Over 100 reflections were also recorded as podcasts.
At 103 years old, Marjorie Mitchell, a former preacher, has released her debut book, featuring 52 short reflections.
Mitchell began writing these pieces during the Covid-19 pandemic, drawing inspiration from the enduring beauty of nature amidst global turmoil. She found that words of encouragement came to her easily, aiming to offer hope to others.
Her writings, initially penned in her garden, have expanded beyond the book, with over 100 reflections transformed into podcasts for wider accessibility. The book itself includes titles like 'Dare to Dream' and 'The Importance of Small Things'.
Support for Mitchell's literary endeavor came from the current pastor of Coleford Baptist Church, Sam Davis, who facilitated the book's publication. Despite her age, Mitchell continues to write, albeit less frequently, with enough material for future publications.
