Book Description
Even though I grew up in church, I was consistently struggling with my selfish desires. A man was supposed to be macho, big, and strong. Crying shows weakness, and to show weakness makes you vulnerable. So I began to put up walls in my life. Despite all the guilt and shame I felt and because of sin in my life, I discovered early that what others didn't know didn't hurt them. It was safer if I keep my life a secret. Secret desires, confusion, and the constant struggle led to a life of addictions. As men, it's hard for us to open up about our feelings and our personal battles whether it be physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. I learned from my own experiences that freedom comes in the ability to share. Maybe we don't realize the damage that's done unintentionally both to ourselves and those close to us. But somehow, it's there, maybe it's subconsciously but it's there. And it affects our lives and every other life we come in contact with. More specifically, our wife, our children, and how we treat them. Maybe, just maybe, if we as men will step up and make a conscious decision to be more Christ-like and to fill the position God designed for men. We will become better men, better husbands, better fathers, and more Christ-like men if we can build trust with our brothers, in the sharing of our issues, our battles. Do we understand how much it can mean to someone, for them to know and understand they're not alone? To be able to share in confidence knowing that they won't be judged. Knowing what you share goes no further. Others have had to deal with the same types of issues in their lives. This is my life and the ugly buck naked truth on how I struggled through to the point of complete surrender to Jesus Christ! Finally having the ability to live a victorious Christian life.

Book Description
“It just shouldn’t be this hard!” Raise your hand if you’ve ever had a day where everything that could go wrong does go wrong—you lock your keys in the car while it’s running, lose control with your kids, make a mistake at the office that results in hours more work. And just when you think not one more thing could possibly happen . . . well, fill in the blank. The struggle is real, friends. It may not be major stuff. Lives are not on the line here. But it makes us feel awful . . . and then we feel guilty for stressing when other people have “real” problems that are so much more serious. Yet the fact remains: We live in a world that often feels harder than we think it should be. And so it can be easy to believe the stories we tell ourselves—that we’re doing it wrong, that we’ll be stuck in this place forever, that God doesn’t love us. We struggle to practice gratitude, to make godly choices, and to live our daily lives with confidence and contentment. So what can we do? Join popular Bible teacher and counselor Nicole Unice to discover why the struggle is real . . . and what to do about it. Nicole offers practical tools to help you navigate the daily ups and downs, and ways to rewrite your struggle into a new, God-centered life story. The Struggle Is Real is an invitation to take the hard, hurtful, and confusing moments and turn them into opportunities to grow in wisdom, strength, and joy.

Book Description
This book was written because I was sure that I was not the only one struggling""struggling to live right, be a good parent, stay out of prisons, be a good husband and son, live according to the Bible, and so forth. The struggle is real, and I hope by sharing my story people know they are not alone and that if they feel no one else feels their pain and relate to them, someone actually does. At times in life, we have to get knocked so far down and lose everything to look up and seek God. If left to our selfish selves, we would never do it. Just think how many times we have tried to do things in our own strength and make a bigger mess of things than they already were. Think about the heating and purification process gold goes through. It's hot, melted down, and stripped of its impurities just as we must be. However, it shines and is beautiful when this process is complete, so too will we be, my friends. We will shine, and others will see the beauty in us. We will be able to lift up, encourage, and strengthen others. Isn't that what Christianity is all about? For those who know me by far, I'm not perfect, but by God's grace and mercy, I'm better. We can encourage because we have been through the fire. Yes, it burns, hurts, and leaves scars, but it makes us stronger and beautiful. I pray that this book has been a blessing to someone. Be encouraged.

Book Description
In my minds eye, a little girl crouches in a dark and cluttered hallway closet. Mountains of stuff fill this tiny room, where she remains hidden from everyone and everything. Besides the stuff of anger and doubt in this small space, the walls have writing on them that names the fears, insecurities, and reasons for shielding herself from the unfamiliar and the unknown. Many times, the little girl tries to exit her safe place. With a mask of self-prescribed extroversion, she determinedly leaves the four walls of her secret domain to be good at things and peoplea good student, wife, even a mother. Hesitantly, she tells herself that hope and joy are within reach. But after a short stay away from the security of the hallway closet, the little girl goes back inside and continues hiding from life. I was that young girl. I did not want to live this way any longer, so I cried out to Godwho had been with me all along. He knew my pain, insecurities, anger, and fear. Bigger than any wall of self-protection I built, God would bring down these walls if I let him. My crying out was the first step.
