Publisher's Description
This book is a book of hope. It is a book that will show its readers a path away from feeling like one does not fit in anywhere and to a path where one feels acceptance, confidence, and that they are loved and do fit in, but probably not the way that they expected. It explores what victimization is, how it affects people, and all the different aspects of being a victim--feelings like isolation, not fitting in, depression, broken-heartedness, being shunned, suffering survivor's guilt, and unforgiveness. It explores the side effects of feeling victimized, such as alcohol and drug abuse, prescription drug abuse, guilt complexes, lack of self-control, depression, anger, and fear. Each of these topics is discussed at length, including scriptural references regarding them and how these same emotions and trials were prevalent in biblical times as well as current times. Most importantly, however, this book tells how the author learned to rely not on himself for guidance and solutions, but on Jesus. It discusses how the author himself overcame fear, isolation, and decades of feeling victimized by surrendering the battles, disappointments, decisions, and paths to follow to God's leadership, and therein found peace, forgiveness, contentment, joy, and thanksgiving for every new day with Jesus.

Foreword
“Scott O’Neal uses instances throughout his life to demonstrate the love and faithfulness of God. He saturates this book with Scripture and prayer. I am confident that Scott’s tracing of his journey on the walk of faith will inspire your journey as well. It has done so for me.”
Foreword
“In this writing, the author is drawing primarily on his experience as a sinner, a military aviator, a husband, and by the grace of God, a Christian. You will find the author honestly expressing life’s difficulties, and most impressive is how each chapter ends by expressing the goodness of God by giving glory to God. You will find this writing intriguing, honest, spiritual, and most importantly Christ centered.”
“Scott O’Neal cares about people. . . . Using a combination of personal life experiences and biblical truths, Scott has presented credible helps to people who are in need. His insights flow from his rigorous self-evaluation informed by Christian teaching. . . . Scott does not write as an academic theorist but as a fully engaged practitioner. He has written as much from his heart as from his head. His emotions flow through his words. He cares deeply and feels strongly; the reader will benefit from both . . . and will be able to relate easily to his transparent revelations.”
