PAPERBACK
About This Book

This ‘hot off the press’ 100% true nonfiction book chronicles the last several years of Barry S. McLeod’s life where he went from being a nightclub owner to working diligently for the Lord. In the process of success, adversity took away most of his assets and nearly destroyed his spirit. Depression, anger and bitterness corroded his soul causing him to feel alone all the time. “I literally felt like a ‘functioning zombie’ right before everyone’s eyes. Most people never knew that I was having the difficulty I was, but I felt embarrassed nevertheless” Barry says.

In the process of fighting back, Barry turned toward God and the church. Some Christians were too caught up into their own creative rules, procedures and selfishness, while it seemed God refused to hear his prayers. It wasn’t long before this popular (and distraught) man was going “backwards.” 

“Once you get to this place where you feel you can’t take it anymore more, even though you try not to think of it, sometimes you just want to die” states Mr. Mcleod with lots of emotion. But the thought of his children kept him from giving up all the way. Eventually, his next challenge would be to find the meaning and purpose for the whole ordeal. 

He decided to write this book with care and share with others his very personal and over-protected story, in order to enlighten and encourage the very reader who is going through some of the same experiences; not preaching or insisting anything. However, he does provoke a lot of thought worth mentioning.  

“I’ve learned from careful bible study that being a Christian, in many ways, is much broader than what I was taught all my life, and that it’s not as hard to have a relationship with Christ as ‘man’ has made it out to be. In fact, many future Christians will not be like the traditional ones. Things are going to change for the better when more human ‘control’ is out of the factor – as it pertains to one’s salvation. God reaches people where they are! We don’t have to go to a specific place to find Him. And whenever one does go to church, they should be received in the ways of God, not the ways of man!” Barry proclaims. 

This priceless book is a MUST READ for everyone.
