Publisher Marketing: This book is dedicated to anyone who has felt helpless at any time in their life's journey; For anyone who has searched for the answers to life's toughest questions. You may ask yourself, Why should I read this book? To answer this, the book you are reading consists of one year of inspirational writings. For one full year I brought every chaotic thought to Christ. Every moment that brought me discomfort I brought to Christ and asked questions and received answers. For one full year every morning I renewed my mind, my spirit, and my soul to experience the challenges of the new day without the contamination of the past. Each morning, I commenced with prayers, silence and Can you imagine how many issues we deal with every day? Can you imagine capturing each of those issues for 365 days and being able to look back a year later and see the benefits of your struggles? There is a saying that what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger, and I believe reading this book will surely make you stronger. Every response to the questions I've asked, I've written just the way I heard it. I have not always been consistent in my writings, so there are some responses that I've lost. Luckily those I've captured are sufficient to blast you into the mode of super growth and help you become an over-comer willing to live life to your fullest and explore your true potential. If you want to become an over-comer and conquer issues such as spiraling emotions, lust, and temptation, read my book.

If fear has become your security blanket, or you're stuck in a dead-end job, read my book.

If you are bludgeoned by bill collectors and bank overdraft fees, read my book. If you feel burnt out, or like failure, or are wrapped up in self-pity, read my book. If you feel like you live in a troubled world with news of terrorism, suicide bombers, political upheavals, collapsing economies, abortion, gay marriage, racism, classism, prejudice, and other hot topic issues, then read my book.

Contributor Bio:  Editing Com, First Born in Waterford, Ireland, in 1981, I later moved up to Galway in '88. There I attended St. Pat's primary school before serving my five year sentence at St. Joseph's secondary. I hated school-work. Hanging out with my friends in the yard, smoking, was one thing, but when it came to studying..."no thanks, the tv could use some company." But not all my subjects made me want to rip fistfuls of my hair out and use it for earplugs. English appealed to me very much. Why? Because English involves writing. And the only ingredients writing requires are passion, patience, and imagination. Not foreign languages or algebra (unless you want to include them, if that's your thing) It was my guilty pleasure. I used to love 'pushing the envelope' when essay-day arrived. Not out of some twisted enjoyment for the dark and demented things I sometimes wrote about. It was more a case of me wanting to be more original than everyone else. I was always competitive that way. It was only in October 2002, did my little writing hobby really change the course of my life. I'd begun working on a fantasy called 'Kaddareth'. In the meantime I was doing a creative writing course at Kilroy's College, Dublin. I will never forget the day I was asked to present them with the opening pages of a sample novel. Thinking nothing of it, I began... I wrote through the night. By the time I was done, I was well beyond the assignment's word allowance. The idea was just too vast for a simple 1,500 word exercise. But I liked what I'd written so much that I didn't want to just send it adrift, nor could I edit it because the details were just too damn essential to the plot. So I contacted the college the following morning and asked if I could exceed it, just this once - with sugar on top. As expected, no such permsission was granted, which was perfectly fair (and to this day I'm glad!) So I put that story to one side, submitted some other 'thrown-together' piece, and straight-away returned to the other. That piece was the beginnings of 'The Other of One'... I have since ditched Kaddareth and have continued on this course; adding on further installments to (what has become known as) 'The Lythiann Series' as I go. Best of all, it has been so well received! And with a little luck, even more people will get to read it in the future. People like you. I only hope you enjoy it as much, because if you do, then I will have a whole other world waiting for you to explore...
