Advent has been set aside in the Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist and other mainline Christian churches as a time to meditate on the coming season of Christmas, the celebration of our Savior's birth. However, most Evangelicals and Pentecostals tend to view it as unnecessary. While acknowledging the season has value for some, it has had no real presence in Evangelical circles. That may be changing as many people have found a need to stop, listen and reflect in the midst of the insanity that begins in October and reigns through January 1. It isn't just mainline Christians who feel as though they are drowning in the ensuing commercial chaos. It's all of us. If you feel harried, out of control, or you hurt in your body, mind or spirit, this book is for you. This is an opportunity to create a space in your life for a new beginning. You don't have to do the holidays as usual. Take time out to read, reflect, pray and catch your breath. You might find the joy of Christmas comes to you despite the noise around you by slowing down daily!

Though Tracey was born to win, she was raised to fail by her own mother. Her mother was a woman who showed no remorse for hurting her, and any displayed emotions from her mother only served as a benefit to her. The physical and mental abuse that Tracey endured caused her to develop severe depression, insecurity, and fear. Her quest for love made her vulnerable to whoever she perceived loved her, and her fear and insecurity made her a target for bullies.
