Description

Have the raging waters of this life almost taken you out? Do you struggle with fear, anxiety, and/or depression? Do you have a behavior that you just can't seem to get rid of? Are lust and/or pornography problematic for you? Have you been rejected or abandoned repeatedly in this life? Have you been regarded as having no worth or value? Do you have difficulty loving and accepting yourself? Are you guilt and shame ridden? Do you have bitterness and resentment toward others? Are you angry with God? Are you the spouse of one who has an addiction?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, this book is for you.

Life is hard and everyone has issues that result from living in a fallen world. Some have issues that are more pronounced, others have issues that are more subtle. Regardless of where you find yourself in life, freedom, hope, and a more abundant life are available to you in Christ.

Slaying Life's Dragons and Beasts: A Practical, Biblical Guide to Overcoming Life's Pains, Obstacles, and Addictions can get you started on that path toward a more abundant life in Him.

Our Book (God, my many mentors, and I), Slaying Life’s Dragons and Beasts: A Practical, Biblical Guide to Overcoming Life’s Pains, Obstacles, and Addictions, is about my struggle to obtain the freedom that Christ died for 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 Masters 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, un-forgiveness, 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 biblical. 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.” 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.
