Emotional pain is a part of life. For some, it is a bump in the road, but for many, it has a devastating impact, causing missed opportunities, broken relationships, and addiction. In this book, Craig Brown presents engaging stories of redemption which will inspire even those in the most hopeless situations. Because this book is filled with a diversity of human experiences, it can speak to anyone, but because Craig writes from decades of experience with Christian recovery ministry, it will speak especially to those open to a deeper spiritual experience of life. I recommend this book to anyone struggling with alcoholism or other addictions who wonders if guilt, shame, or past trauma might hold them back from living their best life. I know Craig's work, and I have met people he writes about in this book. Their stories are true; why not find out if Craig's message will be true for you? -John C.

We all are children at heart. And that children's innocence can be a blessing, or a curse. Its sweet vulnerability interrupted can lock us down to old traumas and shame that brand us permanently (we think) to fearful limitations and soulful wounds that we think we can never overcome. Craig Brown's timely book arrives on the surging tragic confusing wave of the Covid virus, when old fears find new roots to prosper - if we let them. Craig's lifetime of Christian recovery ministry informs a profound book that will help families and individuals out of pain, fear and shame into the sunlight of our own innate Spiritual power to heal ourselves and those around us. We all have a lifetime of work that can become an artform of living. Craig Brown helps us reclaim the living masterpiece within us!
