Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2010

Paul is going nowhere fast except maybe straight to Hell. Then again, maybe he is already there.

Tired of broken promises and dreams unfulfilled, Paul navigates the streets of Waikiki, searching for an escape. High on ecstasy, cocaine and booze, Paul does not see the SUV heading right toward him...until it is too late. He expects he will end up in the emergency room, or dead. But when instead he comes to in a mysterious forest, Paul realizes he is in for the journey of a lifetime.

Wake Up! The Enlightenment of an American Misfit and Outlaw is part memoir, part fable and part teaching story for the misfit and outlaw in all of us.

More About the Author

Bestselling author Paul Hendricks lives an extraordinary life on the island of Oahu in Hawaii; but just a few years ago nothing seemed more far-fetched. For years Paul lived the outlaw's life of drug abuse and violence as he struggled with the core issues that lead him down that path. Then, Paul experienced an awakening that set him on a new journey of forgiveness, compassion and unconditional love; one that led to success and the realization of "impossible" dreams.

Along with bestselling authors Barbara DeAngelis, Mark Victor Hansen, Brendon Burchard and others, Paul co-authored the bestselling book, How Did You Do That! (Yinspire Media, 2009).
