Book Description
This is the story of my chipped and broken childhood which would lay the foundation for the woman I would one day become. Thirty-five years have passed since my earliest memories, some distorted by fear others engraved in stark relief with no sense of distance between now and then, but all buried somewhere in memory that even now, as an adult, I cannot escape from. This is my beginning, but it was not my end.

Good Baggage
Author: Ike Miller
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493443305
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Baggage has gotten a bad rap. We think it's all bad. We think it makes us less likely to have good, healthy relationships today. But baggage isn't just the bad stuff that happened to us in the past. It's the lessons we've taken from the pain we carry. It's how what we've been through has actually made us stronger and more capable than we imagine. And it's how we're going to make our current relationships work. Far from minimizing past pain, pastor Ike Miller shows you how to go through the baggage you carry from a difficult childhood and pull out the good stuff. The intentionality you've developed. The empathy you've gained. The trust you value so highly. Miller shares from his own past in a dysfunctional family impacted by alcoholism and divorce, and his present as part of a healthy and loving family, to illustrate how to stop letting your past sabotage your present. You'll find no platitudes or pat answers here. Rather, you'll discover untapped riches of experience and knowledge you already have that can make your relationships thrive and change the course of your life and legacy.
