Series of letters chronicles the author tumultuous journey from spiraling self-sabotaging behaviors to spiritual and emotional freedom. Have you ever tried to change your life, only to end up right where you began? I have. Have you ever felt something missing in your life, but you could not quite put your finger on what it was? I have. Have you ever wondered what keeps you from reaching your full potential? I have. ~ Excerpt from The Inner Journey Home Letters to My Son. The past is never dead. It is not even past. This provocative quote by William Faulkner reflects the potentially devastating power our childhood experiences have on each and every one of us. It also hints at the darkness in author Malcolm Baptiste s life before he experienced a revelation that allowed him to break a seemingly permanent cycle of despair and disaster and embrace a life of thoughtfulness, healing, and genuine grace. Baptiste s new book The Inner Journey Home Letters to My Son chronicles his heartfelt journey to understand and overcome his lifelong self-defeating behaviors and their impact on those he loves. Baptiste explains that his letters to his son document my journey to spiritual and emotional freedom from a state of absolute bankruptcy as a human being. This honest, intimate, and painstaking exploration also reflects Baptiste s sincere desire to share with others the journaling techniques that helped him make sense of his pattern of rising from the ashes of failure to reach success, only to crash and burn in the flames of failure once again. As he explains, Journaling, to me, was like giving a thirsty man a glass of water. It taught me to look within rather than outside for answers and solutions to life s problems. Baptiste demonstrates, through his journal entries, how to identify and navigate through the valley of emotional, mental, and spiritual discoveries while resolving issues in a healthier way. At the conclusion, the reader will be capable of implementing lasting change in their life successfully. The inner journey home is the journey to healing.
