Break Every Yoke/Rebuilding Your Life

The message of this book addresses the lovingkindness of God, the challenges of reentry for the former prisoner, and the brokenness of the inner city. Loose the bonds of wickedness. Undo the heavy burdens. Let the oppressed go free. Break every yoke. These directives from God are found in a single verse in the Bible. Compassion for others emanates from God. He came to us in person, seeking and saving the lost, encouraging all of us to care for the poor and those in bondage, living under a yoke of oppression. Bonds of wickedness and heavy burdens can be seen in many walks-of-life. They represent the front lines of Christian ministry. The power of darkness in this world is real. It has resulted in addictions, poverty, and homelessness. Yokes of oppression are pushing many around! But, hope in God is an anchor of the soul. The Christian walk in life, being in fellowship with God through faith in Jesus Christ, is the best form of rehabilitation, the best means of recovery, the best way to rebuild your life on planet Earth. Whether your faith in God is a tiny spark or a bright flame, consider being an extension of the merciful lovingkindness of our Lord, and Break Every Yoke.

At times in our lives, we all need to rebuild, whether or not we are wealthy, have homes, or spent time in prison. This book is a teaching program meant for the sake of the reader and anyone they would help. The 14 sessions include action plans and discussion questions for individual consideration or for groups. The book/program can be useful as either a supplement or as an alternative to 12 step programs. Rebuilding your life through Christian redemption involves eternal living. Eternal life sounds like what happens in the hereafter. Eternal living is happening right now for those that know and love the Lord and it is a life filled with the benefits God provides. The Lord offers these benefits to everyone. Many people are struggling to overcome obstacles, which may include addiction, poverty, homelessness, prison time, depression, strife, or brokenness. Each of the Benefits of the 14-session program is accompanied by an Action Plan with practical suggestions for living an abundant life. Hopefully, you will not only find encouragement for yourself, but would be motivated to share these "reasons to love the Lord" with others in homeless outreach locations, recovery centers, sober living homes, halfway houses, or through your own personal ministry - anywhere there are people struggling with the need to rebuild their lives.
