Just days before my first book goes to print, I’ve had one last boo, making word and editorial changes. To do this, I’ve read every word meticulously and totally focused, trying to see if I said what I want in the clearest way possible. I found several dozen changes that needed to be made. And this was after I thought all the other times had caught them all. There just never is a perfect way of saying something, no matter how hard we try. It is much like life. You can try to do your best, even in every detail, but, under a microscope in any area, flaws can be found.
Abusers will take those and exploit them as a means to justify their abusive control over someone. In the same breath, they are not able to find perfection with that level of scrutiny themselves. That is the nature of their hypocrisy. Expect out of others what they can’t accomplish themselves.
But a true friend and truth seeker will take that best attempt and let the imperfect parts blow away in the wind like chaff from the grain. They will then take what they can learn to benefit their life and the lives they touch.
As I re-read “It’s All About Power and Control: Why Marriages Fall Apart and What It Takes to Put Then Back Together Again,” which has been a five year journey to write, I was again inspired with the conviction that those who will read it with a sincere desire to learn, will find renewed inspiration to press onward and upward towards personal wholeness. I believe those will be the wiser for it as they make the changes that will affect, for good, their close relationships and beyond.
As soon as the book arrives, we will be holding a Book Launch in Alberta, Canada at the Didsbury Library and shortly after will have a Book Signing also in Didsbury. The announcements will be posted in this blog. Until the books arrive, we are accepting Pre-Release Orders at a reduced cost. All pre-release orders will be filled first.
You can contact us through this blog or call 1-403-335-8376 or toll free in North America at 1-877-335-8376.
Warmly,
Norm
