When God called me to write this book, I had an LLC roofing company, and God closed that door. He wanted me to carry a cross! Writing The Hijacked Mind has broken me. It has brought me to the darkest bowels of despair. It has kept me in the fetters of sweet slavery. It has crushed my pity and peacock pride. It has crushed my arrogance. It has kept me on my knees before the throne and desperate for Jesus. I wrote this book out of obedience, not for glory. This book is a cross that I carry; it is heavy; it is weighty, and it crushes me for God's glory. ". . . behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee. . ." (Matthew 19:27, KJV).
