This book is a direct reflection of what Christ did for me five years ago. I'm ashamed to say for many years I claimed to be a Christian while my actions said just the opposite. I was even called out once. I was asked if I was a Christian and I responded yes. Someone that knew me was standing there. He laughed and said "sure you are". My heart attack six years ago had me thinking more about God but I was still holding on to the worldly things that we are told to refrain from. One day I'm watching television and I come across a pastor that grabbed my attention. In hind sight God got my attention that day. This sermon had a huge impact on me. I didn't really have a relationship with Christ. I hadn't truly surrendered my life to him. Since that day I've been a different person. That's when I finally found my love for Jesus. Out of nowhere I start writing these poems. It was as if God was using my hand to write down words he was putting in my heart. After much encouragement, I had my poems published. It is my desire to glorify my Lord through this work. I hope you enjoy these poems, more so I hope they inspire you in your walk with Jesus.

'So, What's In It For Me?' ... - Is the most personally unacknowledged, yet frequent question each of us asks ourselves every single day of our lives. - Is the existential question which drives our pursuit of Authenticity; - Authenticity being the virtue that personal responsibility and deliberate choice are essential to the pursuit of the determination of meaning and purpose in our lives. - Highlights a modern-day extension of Twain's observation that "man never does a single thing [that doesn't first] secure peace of mind, spiritual comfort, for himself", into: - "This is the law, keep it in your mind.

What he does or does not achieve in between is his individual story; a story knowingly or unknowingly written to answer the question: "So, What's In It For Me" - In America, each of us is born into one of two Stories which guides our pursuit of personal Authenticity! Ken Burns refers to our Story as to where we choose to live: Bedford Falls or Pottersville? George Saunders sets the choice between residing in the United States of Huck or the United States of Tom. The uninformed over-simplify the choice as one between Red America and Blue America. - Exposes the schizophrenic dichotomization of the American Story and its history - with its odds for success stacked against it from its very inception as one Nation.

Get lost in the incredible true redemption story of a man's journey through a typical childhood, to a dark path of addiction, to finding his faith in God.As a child, Damian had a happy life. He had loving parents, a great brother, and a passion for playing baseball that got him up in the morning. However, when his parents divorced and he entered high school, he began to feel lost. At just 14, he started experimenting with drugs and alcohol out of boredom after falling in with a "questionable crowd."Throughout high school and college, Damian craved thrill. He and a friend began selling pills until a near robbery at a party sobered him to the reality that his safety was not worth the money he'd made. Loss of his best friend and second father figure catapulted his depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Finding help felt like the only option, but his addiction story wasn't over.Breaking the Silence: My Journey from Addiction to Healing takes the reader on an engaging and immersive life story.

It can happen to anyone; regardless of their upbringing, background, and life circumstances. Breaking the Silence seeks to unravel the standard of struggling in silence because of fear or judgements from others.This compelling memoir is an interesting and exciting read for anyone who enjoys life stories. In particular, Damian wrote Breaking the Silence to encourage and support those in active addiction and recovery - as well as family members and friends of those struggling.
