Book Description
The purpose of creating The Perfect Way to Survive a Storm is because I know this book can possibly help, enlighten, and inspire others. The goal is to teach financial strategies on how to survive a storm, personally or naturally caused. This book is like a blueprint to help prepare, discipline, and educate readers on steps to better, financially and mentally, prepare for a storm. The core focus of this book was to mentally help others be financially successful before, during, and even after a personal life storm. The double entendre is, even if a natural storm took place, readers will be mentally prepared, financially to challenge the storm. This book is based on true life experiences and goes into great details on what the artist went through, and most importantly, how the author got out of the storm. Imagine being in a situation with not many people to turn to, nowhere to go, and only a limited amount of income to work with. In this detailing story, this author explains times he had to sacrifice places and possessions to keep from losing everything. Daily rough times of sleeping in different places, borrowing money from bankers, and working with strangers to accomplish goals. Placed in highly stressful environments, somehow the author managed to keep his calm, faith, and patience to weather out the storm. Lots of drama, reoccurring events, dreams of almost making it out, with more problems ahead. Some events inspired from Hurricane Michael.

Shake Free
Author: Samuel Rodriguez
Publisher: WaterBrook
ISBN: 1601428219
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Based on the story of the apostle Paul's near catastrophic shipwreck (see Acts 27-28) , this is a call to individuals to "shake off" problems and disasters in life and move forward to new health and wholeness. Some days you feel as if you take one step forward only to fall back two—or ten— steps. You struggle and push through one obstacle after another. You know God is present, but when is he going to rescue you from all the storms, shipwrecks, and snakes surrounding you? The apostle Paul faced a great crisis such as this on his epic voyage to Rome, which ended with a disastrous shipwreck—yet every person aboard was saved by grasping broken pieces of wood. In Shake Free, Samuel Rodriguez issues a powerful call for you to shake off your problems. He writes, “When the storm breaks in your life, you will be driven by: • the past or the future • the pathetic or the prophetic • problems or promises • nightmares or dreams • the flesh or the Spirit • Google searches or godly churches • the drama of the storm or God’s destiny for your life.” Rather than merely surviving circumstances, you can discover how to navigate through life’s challenges to truer wholeness and bigger victories from God. “Shake Free . . . will help you break free of emotional, mental, and spiritual burdens. . . This book is necessary for all those who are ready to take back control of their lives!”—DeVon Franklin, producer and New York Times bestselling author
