Throughout the pages of my first book, "My Bondage & My Freedom: From the Mental Institution to the Pulpit" I spoke of my testimony and how God healed and restored me. My first book OPENED the DOOR for awareness and candid conversations about mental health, depression, addictive behaviors and the everyday human experiences. However, "My Bondage & My Freedom: From the Mental Institution to the Pulpit", Volume 2, The Workbook takes us THROUGH the DOOR. It is designed to retrain our thought patterns, create self-awareness, and innovate a realistic approach to the trauma, grief and adverse circumstances that negatively trigger our actions and beliefs. Romans 12:2 tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our mind, but if we don't challenge and become aware of our thoughts, then we can't change them. If we're not conscious of the extrinsic and intrinsic toxicities that plague us, then we'll continue to suffocate from the poison of our own ignorance. This book is a guide and map that will empower any individual to take control of their thoughts instead of their thoughts controlling them. You have the POWER to change, but you must believe it is possible. Transformation is not too far fetched, because all things are possible with GOD, Mark 19:26. Read, study and implement what you learn in this book and watch God move in your life. If God can do it for me, He can do it for you. Remember, FREEDOM is both a destination and a process. FREEDOM is your birthright not bondage.
