    About this ebook

    Dave has a big problem: he is trapped by his own perfectionism. But with the help of Born Again Ben and Louie the Rat, he journeys through workplace intrigues, humorous escapades, and personal doubts to discover a more excellent way to live.

    If you are a control freak, or puzzled by the "Be ye therefore perfect” Bible dictum, or could use some laughs and inspiration, this true story is for you.

    DAVE TROTTIER is a produced screenwriter and successful author of seven books. As an in-demand script consultant, award-winning teacher, and friendly host of keepwriting.com, he has helped hundreds of writers break into the writing biz. He writes a personal blog at keepliving.com.
