A bad start in life does not mean that one must stay there. Weakness is an invitation to become stronger. Fear prevents one from living a full and joyous life. Addiction binds and blinds us until we come to our senses and step into our new identity that awaits our arrival. Consequently, poverty may rob us, fears may chase us, people may deny us, racism may embrace us, and drugs may control us, but our faith saves us.

Produktbeschreibung
A bad start in life does not mean that one must stay there. Weakness is an invitation to become stronger. Fear prevents one from living a full and joyous life. Addiction binds and blinds us until we come to our senses and step into our new identity that awaits our arrival. Consequently, poverty may rob us, fears may chase us, people may deny us, racism may embrace us, and drugs may control us, but our faith saves us. We overcome anything placed in our pathway by not accepting bad starts/fears/weakness/addiction or character triats that are not profitable. From Crack to Clergy: Provoking Thoughts takes us where bad starts do not set the pace for life. Fears are faced boldly. Weakness has become a strength. Addiciton leads to a deeper thinking process which causes one to look inside- come inside- stay inside because the power lies inside to launch one forward. Life brings many pains, and sometimes it seems we are forever in chains. However, change is always possible if we are willing to face the Lion and continue to roar back, if we move into our new being awaiting us in order to step into our true identity. We learn how to overcome and view each problem as an opportunity as we grow and learn more.
