Are You Living Who You Are?

Do you find yourself scurrying through life on auto-pilot not knowing on a conscious level why you are filling your life so full of activities that only seem to create exhaustion and anxiety? Are you afraid to stop a life of striving to be, do and have because that may be all you have known? The book, "You Can Let Go Now", gives you insight and permission to get quiet and in touch with who you are at the core of your being. It challenges you to discover your uniqueness and motivation behind your behavior. It may be difficult to realize that you've been motivated to live your life by outside circumstances, as opposed to living by who you are at the core of your being, but it is never too late to quiet inner conflicts which are a result of living someone else's life. When you discover that you can let go now and realize that it is okay to be who you are, you find exhaustion is replaced with satisfaction, and anxiety is replaced with assurance, because you are moving in the intention of who you were created to be. Since reading this book, I've realized that I don't have to strive, but I can relax and flow in who I am, which has caused me to enjoy life so much more.

This is what we have been waiting for.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book. After reading the first chapter of "You Can Let Go Now," you will understand that this work explores depths others have merely alluded to. Dr. Chironna is a master in the use of imagery and metaphor. His writing draws you while his insight and knowledge equip you. Before you know it, you will have become an active participant and will be well on your way to a life you may have only dreamed of. Few are as skilled in the extraction of relevant truth from Biblical narratives as Dr. Chironna. I am purchasing a copy for each of my employees. Do yourself a favor and read the author's earlier works as well. Your life may not depend on it, but the quality of you life definitely does.

Life Changing Book

I am a Campus Minister at a state university here in Florida. I am often dealing with young adults who have so many issues with identifying who they really are. When I read this book by Dr. Mark, I knew this was the book that could help them, and ANYONE come to terms with who they REALLY are, instead of living the scripts that others have written for them. This book is helping myself and others enjoy life, because now I am free to be ME!

The Real Jacob

The Old Testament figure Jacob has usually been presented as a schemer and a wheeler-dealer. Dr. Chironna presents a different view. This Jacob comes from a dysfunctional family where Dad ignores him and his brother hates him. Not too different from many families. This Jacob has an overdeveloped sense of striving to be the best. This Jacob runs into a ladder and the one at the top of the ladder. After years of trying to climb the corporate ladder, he learns to give it up and let go. In doing so, he achieves what he really wanted all along. The story may be old, but is presented in a way to be practical today.

Thanks Dr. Chironna

I read Stepping Into Greatness and discovered that my blind spots were hurting me because they kept me from seeing what was sneaking up on me. Then when I read Beyond The Shadow of Doubt I learned that I had hidden doubts inside that were helping me to sabotage my own success, and I faced them and experienced a measure of release. I just finished You Can Let Go Now, and it's like Dr. Chironna completed the journey for me and I have been able to look at the roots of my behaviors, and it gave me permission to admit what I really needed and the things I felt deep inside that I was afraid to admit to myself let alone anyone else. God used this book to free me to simply be the person I was always meant to be. I am now learning how to be the true-to-God me that Dr. Chironna says I can be...THANKS DR. CHIRONNA for coaching me into real freedom!
