Unsatisfied with the typical "self-help" books that limit their scope to mere problem-solving, symptom management, or pain alleviation, Ian set out to demonstrate through his own broken quest for well-being that there is a path to true betterment -- one that recognizes and celebrates a person's inherent dignity as someone made in the image and likeness of God.
Ian's story is both authentic and amusing, a journey into total and lasting healing that can be replicated by anyone who feels trapped in self-doubt or anxiety, toxic messages or addictions, lethargy or misspent energy. It's for all who seek a way out of the rut of simply existing or who are sick of merely reducing suffering and long to attain abundant life. You will discover not only what you are healed from but what you are healed for -- the God of all joy awaits you. You will learn:
You will also learn about the role of emotions on your healing journey and how to cure disorder at its roots. Gradually, you will grasp how to overcome fear and develop virtue. By opening your heart to God's mercy and healing, you will discover who you are as a beloved child of God and will experience spiritual renewal.
