Excerpt From the Cradle to the Cyclone Fence

Introduction to the book:
There was a bloodless war, a secret war, in the house. There were invisible wounds inflicted by bullets of verbal combat. The battles were intense. There was an ambush on the family in the house as they were attacked with silent weapons by a dark world of deception and destruction. It was a spiritual war.
This book was written about that war, the one that everyone in the house tried to keep a secret. But the secret was much too massive to hide. The dark world of substance abuse exploded in the house, attacking just one member of the family while the others were sleeping, unprepared. But the others felt the shock with destruction leaving deep scars.
There was one that suffered the most, the one caught in the trap, the one in the spider's web. He was confused, being blinded by the lies in his own head. He was suspended between the good and the bad worlds. He was captive in an ugly world that sought to destroy him.

  1. I want to cry over and over each time I read that. So true a war for the substance users soul. God is able to help them overcome any substance but they must claim him and lean on him.......oh how sad that world for the abuser

  3. When we are not grounded and holding on to the strength of God,no matter what the situation is we will get swept under.Wish we all get to know Him soon it sure would head off a lot of heart ache.We will just keep praying.
