Book Description

"This book is a powerful testimony of the redemptive power of Jesus Christ. This book is for anyone suffering setbacks in life and will help them overcome and find healing. It is sure to be a light to anyone who feels stuck in the darkness." - Pastor Matthew Barnett, Co-founder of the Dream Center "In The Hard Way, Jeremy takes a risk and some bold steps in sharing his personal journey of abuse, shame, guilt, and the process of discovering unconditional love. " - Glenn Shaffer, Lead Pastor, DestinyLifeChurch.tv I had to learn the hard way. You don't have to! My life sucks! Will things ever get any better? There is no way out of this. For years of my life, I constantly thought and said these things. When I reached my lowest point of desperation, I was a "garbage head," willing to consume any drug, deep into cocaine addiction, and plagued with depression and anger from which I could not break free. I wished for death because that seemed to be the only way to escape the pain permanently. After a failed suicide attempt, I ended up in a padded cell with "God is Fake" scratched into the wall by a previous occupant. I had hit rock bottom with a crash. That is where I found God and began my journey out. The book you are now holding, The Hard Way, is the one I wish I'd had when my rut was the deepest and my nights were the blackest. Whether you've been where I've been, are headed there, or even gotten out, you will find in these pages inspiration, hope, and a proven pathway out of the rut you've been living in. Don't go through the pain of the hard way. Leave your rut behind and live your dreams. Your life is a legacy that will impact generations. Read this book, The Hard Way, find new life... and live it. Jeremy Donovan and his wife, Annie, serve as pastors at DestinyLifeChurch.tv where they oversee multi-campus youth ministries in Oklahoma. Jeremy is well-known as a national speaker, and is co-founder of The SOZO Movement - a ministry that spreads the Gospel through television and the Internet. Jeremy's unique approach guides people into healing from past wounds and sets them free from having to learn things the hard way. Connect with Jeremy through www.JeremyDonovan.me

Why learn the hard way when you can read THE HARD WAY? Jeremy gives hope to all of us who are looking for practical steps to life change. A must read for everyone!
-FRANK SHELTON| Author, Evangelist & Fox News Contributor frankshelton.com In his new book THE HARD WAY we can glean much from his testimony, trials and tough times. It has also been said that we wouldn't have much of a TESTimony if it were not for our tests. In life, we can do things our way or His Way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book. A good book for anyone June 24, 2012
Format:Paperback
Excellent book. As a mom of an addict it helped me to understand the "Hard Way" thinking. I have read hundreds of books on the subject and this one was one of the top five.
I showed my copy to my son today while I was visiting him in rehab. He opened it to the middle and it caught his attention right away he just kept reading. So...I left it with him.
Donovan wrote this book and made it simple to understand and relate to. I am ordering several more. If I had the money I would buy one for every rehab there is!
