My Struggle and Broken Pieces

"My Struggle and Broken Pieces" is organized into three major sections. The first covers an entire gamut of issues that arise in an individual's life prior to reaching both natural and spiritual maturity. The book opens by depicting parents as the primary motivators of their children's actions and establishes how their character is formed at a very early age. (Proverbs 22:6) declares we must "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it," and the author illustrates how parents do this based upon their knowledge and experiences or lack thereof; in accordance with (Hosea 4:6) "people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." This ironic tone is set early in the introduction, and then the storyline transcends into a dramatic sequence of events; covering the authors' past relationships mixed with a compilation of scripture throughout each chapter. The way in which it transcends, this book does not meet the expectations of a typical autobiography. The story identifies challenges faced by married and single individuals; derived from various facets of life like: immaturity, abusive relationships, bitterness and the list goes on. The character experiences a separation period from Christ and doesn't find peace until ones return to the faith. It's not a replicate of the Bible, yet this book is used as a catalyst to help individuals re-examine their actions; by identifying with real life experiences thru the authors' story line, in hopes to redirect their path. Not only will it allow readers to see things from both a natural and spiritual prospective, it will permit them to enjoy the story line and discover how liberating it is to experience the full spectrum of Christianity after being emancipated from the law of sin. Many Christians are eager to help others identify with the new man, new creature, or the new nature; yet they neglect to unmask themselves in the process. Forgetting, whether you are an alcoholic, drug addict, prostitute, murderer, thief or whoremonger, you are still one in the same; you've only been converted. The author understands that anything that's worth paying attention to must convey a powerful message, so in the process the author unveils herself in a serious yet fun and unexaggerated way throughout each chapter, which helps readers identify with the character before and after the transformation takes place. This literature will help readers identify with real life situations, that may have had an adverse affect on their lives; causing them to be haunted by feelings of guilt and inadequacy. The reader will then discover how true (Job 14:1) and (I John 1:9) are: "Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble;" and "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness;" therefore, sooner or later readers will discern why the pleasures of this world are not worth sacrificing the latter glory and will begin to make a conscious decision to make the transformation. They will ascertain how wonderful it is to emancipate ones self from the never-ending supply of energy exerted towards demoralizing relationships and the long lasting effects of materialistic confines of this world; which engenders the struggle to mind broken pieces. The author; like many of the converted, have seen the world in its natural form, and would like to assure the unyielding unbeliever that they're not missing a thing. Some may disagree but this book systematically and humorously points out the flaws of most of the world; yet it reassures individuals it's their choice whether or not to continue living within the confines of the world. Even seasoned warriors (Saints) who spout their constant song, "to be a dutiful and attractive Christian one must receive salvation;" will be inspired and motivated by this literature to acquire a deeper revelation of scripture and a closer walk with the Lord.
