Whether you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and raised by nannies or discarded in dumpsters and passed through the foster care system, there is a one in three chance that you or someone you know have experienced parental rejection. There are many ways that poor parenting can damage a soul, but only one proven, biblical method to heal it...The Five G.R.A.C.E. Steps™. This book will help you learn what they are, and how to make them work in your life. How To Recover From Bad Parenting In 2010 there were over 900,000 cases of child abuse reported to authorities in the United States and 1560 children died as a direct result of that abuse. It’s estimated that by the time we reach age 21 some 100 million Americans have to some degree experienced debilitating parental rejection, and most of us take those feelings, and their life limiting consequences, to the grave. Changes in family structure brought on by shifting social norms and belt tightening economic realities have made it increasingly difficult for parents to connect with and nurture their children. America stealthily has become a nation of people feeling a deeply rooted sense of loss and abandonment because we have missed and are missing our parents. The resultant pathology is sobering: according to the Centers for Disease Control and the National Principals' Association Report: • 85% of all school kids exhibiting behavioral disorders are prejects. • 71% of all high school dropouts are prejects. And according to the U.S. Department of Justice • 85% of all youth offenders are prejects. Process Those Feelings Of Rejection And Get Over Them Forever As families have become more fractured and distant, and children have become more pathologically impacted by this alienation, the question begs an answer, "how do we help the millions affected by parental rejection to get what they missed from their parents, heal their brokenness, and achieve their God ordained destiny?" I wrote this book as a cathartic response to that question. Using the revelation given to me by the Holy Spirit as I struggled to overcome my own feelings of rejection and alienation from my parents and build a meaningful life for myself, I teach you how to overcome the debilitating effects of parental rejection and break through to greater success in every area of your life by leading you through the Five G.R.A.C.E. Steps™, the unique, proven, biblical method to soul repair I’ve been sharing with audiences at every opportunity. This book guides you through the steps to: • Grieve fully • Release completely • Accept totally • Comfort effectively • Establish permanently Be The Parent You Always Wanted Your Parents To Be Not only does this book train prejects to overcome the effects of parental rejection, empower themselves to heal from their feelings of parental rejection, and break through their inner ceilings to greater success, but it also equips parents, church leaders, and teachers with the attitudes and skills to create affirming households, fellowships, and classrooms insulated against parental rejection. This book will help parents and their children to heal their relationships, restore their souls, and enjoy the life they were designed to live.

The New Way has captured the small town of Fiddlers Creek. The city is divided into wards, and the homes of citizens are searched. The Holy Bible tops the list of contraband. In B. J.
