FIRST PAGE OF INTRODUCTION:

Who, me? Live an overcoming life? Although it sounds unthinkable, living an overcoming life that pleases God and satisfies your soul lies well within your reach. With God's power working in and through you, your search for answers from therapists, psychiatrists, support groups and twelve-step programs can finally end. Whether you have already received this type of help or are still considering it, this book will show you a more effective way to understand and treat the problems of living that we all experience.

I do not promise the next breakthrough in psychology or self-help, I do not promise you will feel better about yourself, and I do not promise a life free of problems and pain. I do promise, however, a more abundant, purposeful, fulfilling life gained not by our power, nor by our might, but by God’s Spirit. I promise the power of God to help you overcome and find victory in every area of your life. I promise a personal God who wants to walk and talk with you in every moment of every day. By the end of this book, you will no longer see God as an impersonal force, a Sunday morning ritual or an impractical belief system--you will see Him as your all in all, the One in whom you live and move and have your being. Whether you are a long-time Christian, a new Christian or just searching for meaning and fulfillment in your life, reading and living this book will reveal a God who wants to fill your sails with power, comfort you in your storms and direct you into the peaceful harbors where He dwells.
