A Plan Undone

Book Cover & Preview Text
I still hear the cadence of his Boston accent, and on rare occasions the very words he spoke spill into consciousness. Dr. Stabler's foretelling was far removed from the future I envisioned for myself. Yet over the years I unintentionally traced his story much as he said I would. I no longer obsess over his prophecy—or how I may have unwittingly followed his plan. It has never made any sense to me, and I suspect it never will. One thing is clear. God is my one and only true anchor through times of adversity. No matter how bad the circumstance—at times when I might rightfully have given up—I’ve found a glimmer of strength and reassurance in Him through prayer.

About the Book
A Plan Undone is an autobiography of one man’s struggle to maintain faith in Jesus Christ in the face of mental illness.
After I endured three hospitalizations in four years, my psychiatrist set me on a journey through foretelling and hypnotherapy. My life paralleled that foretelling as I muddled from young adulthood though middle age.
So, am I leading life? Is it God’s plan for me, or am I simply following the script prescribed by my therapist? Only God knows––I share the yoke with another.
