OUR STORY
Our Book (God, my many mentors, and I), Overcoming Life’s Monster’s and Beasts: A Practical, Biblical Guide to Overcoming Life’s Hurts, Hang-ups, and Habits (this title may change), is about my struggle to obtain the freedom that Christ died for me (us) to have.
I was praying some time ago about what God wanted me to do as a next step in my life. I was considering getting my Mastors in Biblical Counseling. However, I felt like God was speaking to me that I should write a book.
I believe that this book is unique and unlike any other book out there. It is a very real, authentic, practical guide to overcoming many of life’s issues, such as fear, anxiety, depression, drug, alcohol, and porn addiction, self-hatred, unforgiveness, pride, co-dependency, anger, and etc.
I have been through and overcome many of the above issues. Rick Warren says that (paraphrased) “The area of our greatest pain is the area of our greatest ministry.” This is bibical. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 reads:
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.”
WHY YOU SHOULD CARE
My prayer is that this book will be a valuable resource to those who struggle with any life issues. Moreover, my prayer is that God will use this book to bring hope and healing to many who are trying to keep their head above the raging waters of life, ready to drown at any second, much like I was.
WHAT WE NEED & WHAT YOU GET
I am looking to raise the funds necessary to cover the costs that my publisher (Tate Publishing) is charging to publish our book – $3985.00. Our book is almost finished and I plan to start the publishing process as soon as this campaign is over (January 19, 2011). The publishing process will take six to eight months.

It’s not all about the money. Lend your moral support by pledging a dollar and adding to the number of backers. You get a big woof from Sparky (okay, since he’s a little dog, it’s more like a high pitched “yipe”) and added to the email list for project updates so you can still play a part.
