FIT FOR EXCELLENCE

Author Shepherd has recovered from a difficult childhood, various addictive problems, and suicidal episodes to become an expert on the benefits of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Depending on what the listener expects from an inspirational resource, her many references to God's infinite wisdom and love will make this audio a delight to some and something short of delightful to others. Shepherd incorporates recognizable mental health concepts, such as paying attention to negative feelings and maintaining good emotional balance, and comes across as a sincere and devoted follower of fundamentalist Christian beliefs.
