Review

Blessing From The Fall is for all those who have been publicly humiliated, had their reputations ruined, their good name irretrievably damaged, or have been robbed of their dignity. For those who have been found with an addiction, become bankrupt, arrested or sued, involved in scandal, passed over or fired by an employer, or otherwise publicly denounced there are two options: allow their public chastisement to destroy themselves and their families, or use it as the catalyst for achieving a whole new life. Blessing From The Fall is essential reading for anyone entangled in a public scandal. It will teach the reader how to face things head-on, how to transform their life from shame and denial to recognition and self-awareness, and finally to acceptance and gratitude. A "fall from grace" will be life changing. For many it is a disastrous even from which they never truly recover. By following the precepts of Blessing From The Fall, recovery is not only possible, but the reader can emerge with a stronger, more positive self-image, and a successful private (and even public) life. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: Blessings from the Fall: Turning a Fall Frome Grace Into a New Beginning (Paperback)

Something happened to me recently that caused me to question everything I once believed. I was filled with shame and remorse and felt I could never look anyone I knew in the eyes again. After reading this book and following the recommendations of the author I came to realize that something good can come out of bad and that even our biggest mistakes can teach us important lessons if we are willing to pay attention. I recommend this book for anyone who has experienced a failure, a loss, or the shame of an arrest, a bankruptcy, or any other humiliating experience. The book will give you real hope and reading the stories of others who've had similar experiences will make you feel less alone.The book also helps you to forgive yourself and ask for forgiveness from others.
