The stories start with his first memories of being tied under a porch and left there with his brothers and sisters as his parents left for the day. He tells of his childhood and we are shown how he tried in a number of ways to become someone that he could be proud of, but he always saw himself as ugly and a reject. As he started his own family these were all he had known and how would he ever be able to find peace?
He served 8 years in the Air Force working on bombers and fixed x-ray and other medical equipment for GE for the next 33 years as a field service engineer, all under high stress and long hours. He loved his family, but had to find out how to properly function in a family relationship, as well as in the corporate world. The harder he tried, the more he failed to measure up to his own standards, becoming a bitter cauldron of anger.
It was only after God told him to go and forgive his parents that he started down the road toward finding peace. It was not an easy road, nor a quick one, for his whole life he had never been at peace with anyone, even himself, and had learned all of the tricks to drive people further from him, because when they got too close it always brought more pain.view less
