Publisher's Synopsis
It is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The journey to restoration and wholeness is often far longer and more traumatic, with numerous twists and turns along the way. D. S. Briggs details the journey of his life dealing with abandonment and rejection as a child while attempting to reconcile this upbringing with the teachings of the church he had been brought up in. Was the rejection sanctioned by a God who promised to never leave or forsake us? Or was it the result of human failures and the inability to face failure squarely and deal with the consequences? When church leaders lead people astray whether intentionally or unintentionally, the repercussions can not be overlooked, swept under the carpet, or minimized. It shakes the faith of many causing them to walk away from God and His church.
In the end, the author shows that reconciliation with both God and man is possible for those who persevere. It is possible to find acceptance even from those that abandoned you. Reconciliation is possible and at times miraculous beyond human comprehension. It all starts with you. Will you take the first step?
