Forgiveness is Freedom: How I overcame life challenges to thrive and succeed and how you can too! - Paperback

by Steven Barendregt (Author)

"He grabbed my head, told me to close my mouth. Pressing my lips together, he proceeded to use the black eyeliner and wrote across my entire mouth the word, "FILTH."

"If you wash this off at any time during school, I will kill you."

Peace of mind and inner peace is more possible when you resolve conflict and difficult situations. And boy, have I had my fair share of difficult situations.

My hope for you, dear reader, is that you'll not feel pity or sorry for me as you read this book, but rather, understand that the hand we are dealt isn't always fair. But the way we handle that hand is entirely up to us. It is a choice, and it's a choice I made at an early age.

A choice to rise instead of being defined by the things that happened to me.

This book walks you through my entire life, sharing everything (good, bad, and ugly) that shaped me into the man I am today.

Forgiveness is very important in all our lives. It allows us to shed our past and invites us to look positively to our future. Without forgiveness, we cannot be our whole selves. How can we give effectively to others without it?

"My greatest accomplishment has been failure."

Failure has forced me to evaluate my processes and find better more sustainable solutions.

And that's what I bring to you within the pages of this book. Forgiveness Is Freedom is here for you. To help you understand yourself and discover a path that is yours to choose.
