By understanding how the brain works, we can overcome the wounds of our past.

No matter what you have done, no matter what has been done to you, no matter how life may have locked up your joy, no matter what, you can be set free. To the extreme I was thrown down, I am lifted up; to the extreme I was rejected, I am embraced; to the extreme I was lost, I am found. My heart was set free by a God, who gives us everything the world cannot give. I thank him every day. This is my story.

Is your life limited by labels the world and other people have used to define you? Labels you have internalized and apply to yourself every day?

It feels like they define you. But that’s a lie. If you let him, Jesus can remove those old labels and tattoo new ones onto your soul. Then you’ll begin to see yourself as God the Father sees you.

Raised in a lower-middle-class, nonreligious family, Fred Sievert lived the American dream by exercising a strong work ethic with the classic symptoms of a type-A overachieving personality.

In his book Addition by Subtraction, author David Ralston invites listeners to join him on a journey from the shame and brokenness of their past to lasting hope for the future. Where the world’s way claims that change comes through a complex formula of mental health methods, behavior modification, and self-help disciplines, Dr. Ralston’s Turn approach is built on the premise that the solution isn’t within a person, the problem is. He then meticulously details a biblical, Christ-centered pathway of self-examination, deep vulnerability, surrendering control.

“To be continued…” The words build anticipation for what's coming...which is great for a Netflix binge, but not a healthy pattern for our lives. In real life, constant continuation causes our lives to pile up, episode upon episode, with no space for reflection or rest. This book is for the too-busy, driven person who's moving on to the next win, without ever processing how one season of life affects the next. When we fail to finish well, we live with a pile of unfinished beginnings. But finished things become usable things because they are a part of the story of God’s grace.
