Sinopse

Much of Mark Mehigan's twenties read like a how-to manual: How to get very drunk without raising people's suspicions you might be an alcoholic. Outwardly successful, inside he was drowning.
Nearing 30, he was hurtling towards a nervous breakdown and using payday loans to fund a burgeoning cocaine habit. His only choice was to finally relinquish control and ask for help. In doing so he discovered a life beyond his wildest dreams.
This new way of life embraced letting stuff go. Giving things up. He discovered the power of rigorous honesty, how to live without relying on destructive behavioural patterns and the joy of letting people in instead of keeping them out.
Mark's story is one of recovery and sobriety. It brilliantly articulates the societal pressures that can leave people feeling isolated and lost, and offers a path to finding your own sense of 'good enough'. Perhaps Mark's story can be the spark that ignites that journey for you, or at the very least a guide on how not to mess up your life. Either way, it's definitely not a self-help book.

    “The way to reach God’s will is to go through life's trials & struggles. It means that to achieve any sort of heavenly state we must be tested. We 
    are guaranteed to fail some of those tests. That's ok as long as we learn from them and find the strength to continue traveling the road. We 
    become stronger by overcoming our failures and ultimately find the strength to reach our destination.” 
    “Larry is a modern-day crusader, The Larry Ray Hardin that you will see in much of this book is a younger, angrier version than the one I came 
    to know in San Diego. What makes Larry’s journey great is not just that he refused to be lured in by corruption as he walked the path through 
    hell. What makes it great is that he learned from his failures along the way, replaced anger with wisdom, and continued to walk the road to 
    heaven.”

    "A genuine spiritual quest. . . . Extraordinary." — New York Times 
    Among the most profound and influential explorations of mind-expanding psychedelic drugs ever written, a complete classic book—The Doors of Perception —in which Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World, reveals the mind's remote frontiers and the unmapped areas of human consciousness. 
    The Doors of Perception by Huxley blends Eastern mysticism with scientific experimentation to produce one of the most influential works on the effects of hallucinatory drugs on the human psyche.  
    Huxley’s essays The Doors of Perception  ushered in a whole new generation of counter-culture icons such as Jackson Pollock, John Cage, Timothy Leary and Jim Morrison. In fact, Morrison’s band name The Doors was inspired by The Doors of Perception.

    Read by the author.  
    Scott Morrison, Australia's 30th Prime Minister (2018-2022), offers a unique insider's account of a Christian who was open about his faith and operated at the top level of politics for more than a decade. During one of the toughest periods since the second world war, covering drought, wildfires, a global pandemic and recession, he chronicles God's faithfulness throughout, win or lose, public criticism or public success. 
    Less political memoir and more pastoral encouragement, Morrison is passionate about encouraging others to discover how they can access and see the many blessings of God in their own lives, no matter their circumstances, drawing on Jeremiah 29:11, that God's plans are for our good and not our harm, to give us a future and a hope. In each section Morrison asks the questions all of us are looking to find answers to:Who am I? Discovering your purpose.How should I live? Finding your pathway.What should I hope for? Embracing your future. 
      
    Full of fascinating insights into the handling of some of the most significant global events and issues of our time Morrison's honest, vulnerable and reflective answers offers a unique lens to better understand your relationship with God and the blessing that can flow from such a relationship. 
    Alongside an account of high-level politics in a new media age where cancel culture, identity politics and deep secularization is taking hold across so many western societies, creating a truly post Christian west, Morrison testifies to the faithful love and blessings of God.
