The Overcomers

Those outside our circle may not really know who we are-we assume
facades to disguise our worries or afflictions. We wear our masks and pretend
to be fine, while on the inside, the monsters lurk, ever present. Ultimately,
we will make decisions which change our course forever. We take
that proverbial fork in the road. Is it the broad highway that leads to destruction? Or is it the less-traveled path that leads to a fulfilling life? Time will tell; time always tells.

We all face many demons in this life. These demons have many names:
hardship, bitterness, boredom, misgivings, addictions, and hopelessness,
to name a few. To take flight from life or to fight for it? These are our
choices.

In this book, which delivers two resonating Christian stories, we get to
know people who overcome their despair through faith in Christ. As you
read these accounts and get acquainted with the players, you may suddenly
find that you know these people . . . You may even catch a glimpse of
yourself in the reflection of these pages.

The wonderful love about which Christ speaks in his word overcomes
these adversaries in a most magnificent way-not always as we had hoped
and not always as we had anticipated. But always better than we could ever
imagine.
