Book Excerpt
If you’re reading this book, you have discovered that real life is, indeed, rough. You feel like faded, old pairs of jeans. You grew up with uncertainty, poverty, violence, or ongoing fear and shame instead of a sense of security. Later, life got even tougher with relationship betrayals, unwanted pregnancies, or heartbreaking infertility, crushing career disappointments, diminishing bank accounts, aging parents, and so much more.
In other words, as you continued on life’s trail, you lost your balance. So you delved into possible solutions that proved fruitless. You may have digested self-help videos, podcasts, and books ad nauseam. Or, you practiced physical self-disciplines, prayer, meditation, or spiritual readings. Yet attempting to keep your doubts, guilt, and anxiety at bay is like trying to hold a beach ball under water. No matter what you do or don’t do, your discomfort will keep bobbing to the surface.
What may be keeping you going now—is that you need to believe there is a cure for your emotional unsteadiness; intuitively feeling that reclaiming your life’s balance involved finding things that were lacking. Things like love, value, acceptance, and true forgiveness. There had to be a real solution!
Does a way of recovering your harmony exist? Surprisingly, it does….
“My experience reading Come and See is different from any other reading experience I’ve had. It causes me to weep. I’m forgiven. I can forgive. The words in this book caused me to spend time alone and think about what I truly want in my life. I’m encouraged. My prayer is that you will feel encouraged too.”
—Wynonna, musician, singer/songwriter Life’s Balance
Has your pursuit of “balance” been disappointing, at best? You’ve tried self-help books, podcasts, meditation—maybe also overwork, unhealthy relationships, or drugs. Yet nothing cures the exhausting anxiety you feel. You know something is still missing.
Come and See offers you a surprising antidote to your emotional vertigo. Through real-life stories and brief reflections, Come and See explores:
- Taking charge of the regrets from your past.
- Healing from emotional and spiritual disillusionment.
- The power of forgiveness for yourself and for others.
This is not a self-help book—just the opposite. It is an invitation to consider a solution that demands no achievements, striving, or performance hurdles. Isn’t it time to lose the pain you are tired of carrying? Come and see.
