A Breath of Truth

"Terror will kill you", that was the statement that caught my attention at the beginning of the book. Mrs Vanzant has hit the 'nail on the head' when it comes down to analyzing male emotions. I was once, one of those men who lived in fear like her characters, Roy, Phillip and Gabriel who refused to connect with pain and reality. Through our past actions we had dishonored ourselves and couldn't find a way to comfort our pain without feeling guilty, blaming and condemmed. This book will guide many men into healing and awareness. If we take the time to recall our faults and own up to them, redemption is available. Lastly, "Fear is like a growling dog that has you pinned to a wall. When you move, it growls louder." Thank you Mrs Vanzant for your insight and wisdom. Author, M.W.Moore
