Creation Under Construction: A Devotional of Spoken Word, Prayer, and Reflection - Paperback

by Vivian I. Figueroa (Author), Kailee Renee (Illustrator), Monica Shin (Editor)

Stop hiding the mess. Put on your hard hat.

For too long, many of us have lived under the pressure of presenting a "finished product" to the world and to God. we hide our cracks behind dry wall and cheap paint, terrified that if anyone saw the structural damage of our souls, we would be condemned.

In Creation Under Construction, poet and spoken word artist Vivian Figueroa tears down the scaffolding of perfectionism to reveal a life-changing truth: God isn't looking for a polished showroom; He is looking for a willing construction site.

Through a raw, rhythmic blend of soulful poetry, honest testimony, and interactive reflections, this book guides you through the three vital phases of spiritual renovation:

• The Default: Identifying the "cracked foundations" of shame, comparison, and the pressure of the digital age.
• The Construction: Encountering the Master Builder who doesn't just repair-He restores and redesigns.
• The Commission: Stepping out as a "Kintsugi" masterpiece-unashamed of your scars and ready to be a "stretcher bearer" for others.

Much more than a book of poetry, this is a spiritual toolbelt. Each chapter features "Anchor" truths to steady your feet, "Selah" journal prompts for deep personal reflection, and heartfelt prayers to consult with the Creator of your soul.

Whether you are navigating "church hurt," struggling with your mental health, or simply feeling like a work in progress, this book is a beacon of hope. It is a reminder that the dust, the noise, and the debris of your life are not signs of failure-they are proof that God hasn't stopped working on you yet.

You aren't broken beyond repair. You are simply a masterpiece perpetually under construction.
