Book Description
If you have ever awakened wondering why you were born, if anyone cared, or how your life had become such a mess, this book might be helpful to you. If you know someone who has given up a family, a job, or a lifelong passion to continue using alcohol or any other drugs- then you know a disconnected and troubled soul. Perhaps you know a parent that struggles to do his or her job. Maybe you have intentionally hurt someone or been jealous because of ghosts in your past relationship. Perhaps you are fearful of someone unmasking the real you, yet you secretly hope and want to be caught. Or maybe the police have real business with you because you've violated others' rights by taking their property, abusing their bodies, or manipulating their money. It doesn't matter what your scenario is - divorce, money problems, abusive relationships, promiscuity, violence either in thought or deed, persistent fear or chronic uncertainty. What does matter is what it is doing to you. Are you lying, cheating and manipulating to get through daily life? Are you living contrary to your core beliefs? Have you lost your connection to family, friends, yourself and God? Have you become a disconnected soul? Then my friend, you should read this book.
