It includes expert witnesses of such men as William Paul Young, author of the NY Times best-selling novel “The Shack”, Dan Allender, Ph.D, author of “The Wounded Heart” and Spoken Word Artist Jackie Hill Perry.

We can leave behind our broken and religious way of relating to God and others. We can live in true freedom from our addictions, compulsive behaviors, secrecy and double lives.
