Best-selling Seeds of Hope Author Grows Scenes of Hope With Drama

“You said a man who find a wife finds a good thing, but Lord you ain’t give me a wife – you give me a knife!”
Freeport, Grand Bahama…Having all three books in her Seeds of Hope trilogy hit best-selling lists around the world within the past year seems like an arduous task for many first time writers. Yet, Margaret C. Mullings is not your average writer. The stay-at-home mom and pastor’s wife is quick to admit she is still confused by many functions in her word processor but those who have read her work know that God has gifted her with a special anointing. Now those who have viewed her first screenplay Woman Will Thou Be Made Whole can see first hand of how she is capable of pulling in an audience to see the bigger picture.
Despite the title of Woman Will Thou Be Made Whole, this particular picture seems to zoom in on Kenny, an overwhelmed, overemotional, overburdened husband halfway down the cliff as he comes to the harsh reality that his once vibrant and vivacious wife Karen, is slowly losing her battle with cancer. Despite his tough love in forcing her to bathe, cook, get out of bed or take care their nine children, her deteriorating health seems to get the best of her in all situations except for her faith in God. Meanwhile, Kenny drops his masculine façade and reveals a side rarely seen in a strong black man as he sits at his kitchen table crying over what used to be instead of finding solace in the arms of another woman or alcohol, something audience members eagerly anticipate. Obliviously, he develops his own communication with God with the simple desperate cry: “Lord I don’t know how much more of this I can take. You said a man who find a wife finds a good thing, but Lord you ain’t give me a wife – you give me a knife!”
“Woman Will Thou Be Made Whole has been striking many chords, especially in terms of restoring faith that God has the last word on your health,” Mullings. “It seems however, that more people are connecting with the fact that Kenny is restoring the image of a hard-working, supportive and faithful husband, which is sadly a rarity today. Overall, I think there is an obvious message of hope in the play and the actors portray it perfectly. I know that God has assigned me to spread seeds of hope and it’s time to venture beyond the pages and I think that’s where visually, these scenes of hope are coming to life.”

Author Completes Inspirational Trilogy in One Year With All Three Books Making The Bestseller List

In less than a year, Bahamas wife and mother Margaret C. Mullings has completed all three volumes in her Seeds of Hope trilogy with each book making it’s mark on international bestselling lists.

From home-maker to household name, Margaret C. Mullings has become a literary ambassador for The Bahamas with copies of her books hitting six continents in less than one year.

Freeport, The Bahamas…For the past year in a modest home in Freeport, Grand Bahama amid the darkness was one source of light. While many may assume it was the light from the family’s outdated desktop computer, truth be told, the light was actually coming from within the person clicking and clacking away at the keys translating what can only be described as timely topical messages from God for a society desperately seeking hope.
What started off as just transcribing thoughts in the wee hours of the morning turned into three inspirational manuscripts for housewife Margaret C. Mullings, the author of the bestselling Seeds of Hope series. The books which are just starting to gain popularity in Mullings’ native Bahamas have already started a cyber frenzy with internet giants Amazon, Books-A-Million and Books-A-Million, plus her name is generating lots of hits on search engines like Yahoo, Google and more.
“Who would have thought that what started off as thoughts on a notepad on my nightstand would end up in a book being sold in Japan, India, South Africa, Russia, the UK and North America?” says Mullings who is still awestruck with her hard-earned success and testament to years of her own experiences and Christian faith. “It just started off as taking notes in church and being inspired to speak a word of encouragement - planting a seed of hope – to weary saints. I know that it was divine intervention and I don’t take credit for the books because when God calls you into something you have to jump. The time is too short and we have to stop playing with our souls. So many things are happening in this world – kids are being shot at school, people are killing themselves and their families over the falling economy, church leaders are leading their flock astray and people are losing hope. I think these books have a way of speaking to people at the very core of their soul to remind them that yes, we all have a winter season in our life but after winter must come spring and the darkest hour is before dawn.”
Mullings added that while there are many bad things that are happening in the world, they are reminders of how good we normally have things.
“People who were ungrateful don’t realize how blessed they were until they lose something,” she said. “Unfortunately, it takes a disaster before we recognize or acknowledge how good God is. We say, take the Bible out of this forum or let’s not pray in public or even remove God’s name from the pledge or off the currency but faith is a very powerful thing and sometimes when there is nothing else in the physical, supernatural faith and hope will give you the power to press on in the worst of circumstances.”
Mullings, a soft spoken writer who is often perceived as shy by those who know credits her husband Paul and her children to pushing her to step out on faith to get her writings published. The result has been phenomenal with the writer recently completing a tour in The Bahamas and considering opportunities to tour North America in a few months. Prior to the upcoming tour however, Mullings will be working to put some of her poems to music with a songs of hope album to accompany her books and she’s planning to put her play Woman Wilt Thou Be Made Whole? into a movie. The play will air on Bahamian television in early 2009.
And just what does she think about Seeds of Hope being planted all around the world. Mullings answers by holding up five fingers and counts off each word: “To God be the glory.”
