This chronicle unfolds the journey of a girl who found her destiny
and purpose under threat. Almost drowned by insecurities, guilt,
bitterness, the struggle to forgive self and move forward, she
encountered a Father who refused to give up on her despite the
circumstances. It is a memoir about finding hope and freedom from
the chains that bind us and keep us from our purpose and destinies,
tackling issues that are often brushed off yet deeply affect us and
influence the decisions we make. It highlights the hazardous
effects of unattended wounds that affect our lives in undesirable
manners. This is not a physical battle but one of the mind, heart
and spirit. This is a personal experience that continues to
encourage us that the courage is in getting up and getting out,
whilst the faith is in taking the journey into an unknown place yet
fully trusting that God Almighty is directing our paths and will
not forsake us.
When you press the action replay button on your life, will it only
contain images such as doing the ironing, watching TV and writing
emails? Or will it contain something more extraordinary and
adventurous such as paddling the Mekong, sailing around the world
or skiing to the South Pole? The more we live in our comfort zone,
the less we achieve, and the more stuck we will find ourselves in
our safe, controlled place. When we live a full life, enriched with
adventure, experience and wonder, we feel alive and vibrant.
Sometimes the frailty or finality of life's dead-line provokes us
to fully live. We don't want to be lying on our deathbeds
regretting all the things we haven't done. This book will inspire
you to live your life to the full - to seize the day and savour the
moment. Life is an adventure, so go explore. We are all so much
more amazing than we realise.

Bestselling author, life coach and sociologist Martha Beck explains why 'integrity' - being in harmony with ourselves - is the key to a meaningful and joyful life
In The Way of Integrity, Beck presents a four-stage process that anyone can use to find integrity, and with it, a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. Much of what plagues us-people pleasing, staying in stale relationships, negative habits-all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole.
Inspired by The Divine Comedy, Beck uses Dante's classic hero's journey as a framework to break down the process of attaining personal integrity into small, manageable steps. She shows how to read our internal signals that lead us towards our true path, and to recognize what we actually yearn for versus what our culture sells us.
With techniques tested on hundreds of her clients, Beck brings her expertise as a social scientist, life coach and human being to help readers to uncover what integrity looks like in their own lives. She takes us on a spiritual adventure that not only will change the direction of our lives, but bring us to a place of genuine happiness.
