    Steven Kerner and his wife live the good life, but things sometimes get edgy, and one night his anger explodes.  His
    wife, Lindsey, kicks him out, and he retreats to a hotel.  Then Andy Monroe extends a hand of friendship, but
    Steven  is not trusting of that friendship, and carries a massive chip on his shoulder.

    Lindsey does not accept Steven's apology.  She just doesn't feel that he will be able to change on a deep enough
    level without outside help.  Help that Steven is reluctant to seek.  

    Andy introduces Steven to a group that meets at Bo's Cafe who try to steer Steven to an acceptance of God's
    grace, and to allow himself to trust. They each have a story to tell in their conversations with each other, much like
    an Alcoholic's Anonymous group.  

    Steven does eventually begin to unravel his pent-up feelings, and learn to cope with life without temper blow-ups.

    Windblown Media published THE SHACK, which turned into a publishing phenomenon, and this is their follow-up
    inspirational book, designed to encourage and challenge readers who struggle with problems in their personal life.  

    It is a message that we can all profit from. It teaches you to give,  receive, and to trust, opening yourself up to self-
    realization, and helping you to experience God's grace.
