We have heard the bad news, haven't we? We continue hearing more bad news, don't we? Our world is bombarded by disasters, defeat, difficulty, disease, division, and depression. Some people respond by becoming obsessed with the bad news—letting it control their lives. Other people live with avoidance and denial—pretending all is well when it isn't. Mark Anthony, in his book Living an Authentic Life, offers a much better response to reality. We can change our way of thinking. We can enter a season of personal transformation. We can practice healthy disciplines of breathing, meditating, and loving. We can move toward healing, freedom, and peace. Mark writes with honesty and compassion. Open the pages. Open your heart and your mind to a season where you can wave goodbye to harmful emotions like worry and fear. Open your life to venturing beyond the obstacles of life to find healing. Let Mark's words bring you just what you need to live an authentic life in these times of uncertainty.
