It speaks about the disadvantages of one staying in a comfort zone, which causes them to become stagnant, un-productive to themselves and in our community.
Excerpt
Chapter One
A Trouble Teen Seeking Refuge
My Life as a child was hard. I came from a family that did not center on Christ and in which He was not loved. Our father was not there for us; he spent most of his life confined in prison. My mother was not able to cope with the situation and turned her life over to satan, drinking everyday. She could not perform without a husband to help raise the children.
I guess we became a hardship for her instead of a blessing.
We heard about Christ at an early age but really didn’t know what He neant in our lives. Christ was often spoken of in our family member’s homes and I would attend services on accasion, even becoming baptized at an early age although I didn’t really undrstand what it was about.
My family wasn’t the storybook type with the white picket fence and parents that read their children bedtime stories, caressing them before they fall asleep.
