Opis

Do you balk in the thick of struggle? Do you experience defeat only because it is comfortable? Does fear riddle your life? Ultimately, you must ask a defining question: Do you fail to know and understand yourself and your divine purpose simply because you do not appreciate why struggle is a powerful influence? In The Ledge, writer and speaker James Johnson offers a comprehensive examination of our failure to be into possibility. He shares how tribulation either makes or breaks us. His insight as to how and why we should battle through times of tumult in order to be victorious champions is compelling. James tells a moving story about Timothy, his eight year old son, who stood upon a ledge and battled his fear to jump. The ending is quite unexpected. Did he jump? Did he survive? Did he thrive? This inspirational portrayal and analysis is an intellectual, emotional and spiritual mapping of humanity that proves why we must step boldly into the storms of life. In these pages you will discover: -Why most people experience defeat rather than victory -Why struggle and suffering are vital if you are to live with meaning and purpose -How and why tribulation is essential to knowing yourself, God and God's will -How and why situations must occur differently if you are to be present to possibility -Why fathers must affirm sons and daughters through struggle and victory or defeat James is the author of The End of Justice, a fresh perspective as to why Americans are the most incarcerated people in the world. He examined the lives of innocent people who withstood unimaginable suffering. The Ledge is a timely complement to his exposure of American injustice. As a father, former Army officer and one who intimately appraised the federal legal and penal systems, James is credentialed as an authority on the value of struggle.
