About this title

Synopsis

This book is a book of hope. It is a book that will show its readers a path away from feeling like one does not fit in anywhere and to a path where one feels acceptance, confidence, and that they are loved and do fit in, but probably not the way that they expected. It explores what victimization is, how it affects people, and all the different aspects of being a victim—feelings like isolation, not fitting in, depression, broken-heartedness, being shunned, suffering survivor’s guilt, and unforgiveness. It explores the side effects of feeling victimized, such as alcohol and drug abuse, prescription drug abuse, guilt complexes, lack of self-control, depression, anger, and fear. Each of these topics is discussed at length, including scriptural references regarding them and how these same emotions and trials were prevalent in biblical times as well as current times.
Most importantly, however, this book tells how the author learned to rely not on himself for guidance and solutions, but on Jesus. It discusses how the author himself overcame fear, isolation, and decades of feeling victimized by surrendering the battles, disappointments, decisions, and paths to follow to God’s leadership, and therein found peace, forgiveness, contentment, joy, and thanksgiving for every new day with Jesus.
