Upcoming Book Releases
The second book (grey in color) in The Birdhouse Project series will be released "Fall 2010" and tells the true story of a man struggling to redefine his life after too many destructive choices led him nowhere. While the first book(blue in color) dealt with loss and a constructive approach to grieving, the second book looks at a different kind of loss; how do you re-imagine and reinvent yourself after hitting rock bottom and losing hope? How do you earn another chance when you’ve burned through every one, and every relationship you’ve ever had? This is book for those who have almost given up on themselves, but are looking for a way to find their way back to living with integrity. It is a project-based lesson that teaches it’s never too late to create a brand new reality if you are willing to put the pieces back together.Links
