Life offers many challenges that have to be faced; and more often than not, it leaves us with the feelings of guilt and shame that harbors and affects us emotionally, physically, spiritually, financially, and socially. The key to overcoming this is to learn to love ourselves, forgive ourselves, and get on with life! Rev. R. L. Banks Jr. gives a new perspective on dealing with the issues of life and gaining the momentum that is necessary to accomplish this task. Moving on from past hurts and pains that have been a weight on our lives is definitely not easy to overcome; however, within the pages of this book lie many of the keys that can open our minds up to successfully overcoming these weights. Rev. Banks discusses his life and many examples of how spiritual principles play the major role in dealing with problems of the past, and what it takes to move into the future with a new and refreshed attitude toward life. The main goal is to both change our thinking while considering new ways to view our current situation. Nobody is exempt from the challenges of life, and everybody deals with the obstacles and pressures of the worlds we live in. It is Rev. Banks's hope and dream to continue to be an inspiration to people who are willing to open their minds to a new way of thinking which will translate into a new way of living, learning, and applying the proper outlook on life.
