When Life Shows Up

About the Book

When Life Shows Up is a book about how, when you least expect it events happen in your life that are out of your control. How do you deal with these unforeseen tragedies or occurrences? Do you just “pimp” God and say a “foxhole prayer,” please God get me out of this? Or do you prepare yourself for the inevitable and when life does show up you are ready mentally, physically, and spiritually? This book continues where his book Behind the Glass left off, the saga of Dr. Mayson’s false arrest, unfair trial, and conviction. It also outlines seven spiritual disciplines that will prepare you for anything that life can throw at you. It is essential for Christians, professionals, moms, dads, and anyone else who wants to be prepared for life, when it shows up, because it will!
