Podcast Summary

While fasting once felt like an insurmountable challenge, Pastor Vladimir Savchuk's "Fast Forward" offered an eye-opening perspective that reshaped my journey. Join me as I share this personal experience and guide you through an enriching collection of spiritual reads perfect for the holiday season. These recommendations, featuring authors who've graced our podcast, promise to inspire and uplift your spiritual walk, just as they have mine.

Supporting authors by purchasing directly from their websites is a vital step in nurturing their creative endeavors. This episode sheds light on some of the year's standout reads, including Jeff Seaman's "Restore the Road Home" and Teresa Devine's "Facing the Mind Trap." Both works offer profound insights into familial relationships and healing from trauma, and they remind us how literature can be a transformative force in our lives. You'll also hear about other must-reads on my list, with plans to explore even more in the future.

We are thrilled to introduce Peter Young, a former CBS sportscaster who shares his harrowing experience with a family-based cult in "Stop the Tall Man, Save the Tiger." This journey of reclaiming his identity is a powerful narrative of courage and resilience.

Adding to the mix, Jodi Hendricks and Stephanie Jordan discuss their insightful works, "Hashtag No Filter" and "The Narcissistic Bride of Christ," each challenging us to evolve spiritually and grow in self-awareness.

Finally, we celebrate impactful reads like Kathy Garland's "Revelationship" and David Gregory's "One of Us," which promise to captivate and provoke thought. Whether you're seeking spiritual renewal or engaging stories, this episode has something for every reader.
