Start to a Great Finish

About the Book

This book is a resting place for the contrite heart, the lost soul, and those who have given up and are searching for answers. For those who have come to the end of the road and find a wall they cannot cross. For those who have lost their way and whose hope is in despair, there is hope. For those who have lost their will to win and want to dust themselves off and start all over again, there is still time. For those who have been tempest-tossed and driven and feel they cannot get back, there is a way. For those who carry the weight of the world on their shoulders, there is help. For those whom life has passed by and cannot catch up, it’s not over.

This book can help you find yourself.  That one thing you might need to take you the next mile, the next step, the next day, or either save the next breath are within the contents of this book. You can find yourself. Read and reread every chapter, every page, every paragraph, every line until you find yourself.
