Book Overview
35 years as a Christian mental health clinician, I have identified some prominent things that if not utilized appropriately, can take your breath away. We all have experienced a point when life takes our breath away, in the blink of an eye, and whenever it wants. I have witnessed that if engaged properly, these principles can give back your breath/life. If not aware of how to engage with these principles, life loses oxygen. How often have we lost perspective on what matters in life? Or struggled to make sense of chaotic tragedy thus leading us into a rut of depression, anxiety, and hopelessness, only because we could not find a new perspective on our life.
Along the journey of life, we gather things from our travels: triumph, betrayals, bruises, and hopefully wisdom. Are you traveling life ‘out of breath’ from the weight of un-forgiveness? I write about the truthful consequences of forgiveness and un-forgiveness.
The Cross, observed with the crucified Christ, presents life-giving spiritual and psychological lessons. Learn the meaning and ‘breath’ of “Mashalem” (it is finished). There is a code in life all of us play a part in. The worship code. How much is enough? Understanding the word ‘enough’ guides us away from the worship of false entities. And safe from unseen cultural riptides. What we worship we become, and if not careful it can take your breath away. Find ways to understand your ultimate vs your good. Sit, read, and take in the 4 breaths.
