Seams to Me is based on our work with addicts and people who are stuck. Addicts and stuck folks tend to know they are in a pit. Nearly all have an idea of the place where they want to be but have no workable plan to get there. The book is about the plan. The first rule of getting well is be willing to participate in our own healing. Unhealed wounds block the ability to even think "I'm Possible!"
At the heart of this book is that there is healing for abuse, abandonment, betrayal, wrong choices and deficiencies. Seams to Me provides skills, solutions and strategies. In our pastoral and seminar work, we noticed that the abused, rejected or abandoned often have lost their ability to hope. They have no infrastructure to visualize a productive life. It is as if a nerve has been cut.
With many stories and experiences, Dean uses Joshua 1:1-9 to build on-ramps out of the pit and the highway to destiny.
