Only if you are ready to look at all aspects of your life to release yourself from negative feelings and bad habits, and consequently manifest a happier and healthier life. You will learn the 4Rs (Recognize, Release, Replace, and Repeat) along with insight into other tools that can help make this process more fruitful and a little easier. The information contained in this book comes from my own personal and professional experience. I know the techniques work because I've seen them work in my life and in my clients' lives. We will look at problems and solutions from physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual perspectives so you can find the right balance of each component in your life. The information will be presented from spiritual and secular viewpoints because you can approach cleaning your mind's junk drawer either way, depending on your belief system.

The required concepts are simple, but making the necessary changes is not always easy and "quick fixes" are rarely permanent.

His proven process has helped thousands of companies engage with their existing customers, giving them the ultimate competitive advantage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of us is the owner of a seemingly random collection of theologies, doctrines, and superstitions. It' s a junk drawer of religious ideas and influences. It' s the witticisms your grandmother tossed around with ease that sounded like they came from a religious text. It' s an insight gleaned about God from a half-heard sermon at a friend' s church. It' s the mental screenshot of a meme shared on social media. It' s the empowering idea you underlined in a book and wrote on a Post-it Note now forever affixed to your laptop.These are the things stuffed in our spiritual junk drawers. And as with that stash of old clothes in the closet or that stew of phone chargers, pens, and half-used batteries sitting in your kitchen drawer, something in us says, “ This might be useful.” And so we hold on. But should we?For many this junk drawer spirituality has become burdensome. We are worn down by the religious experience it creates and frustrated by a collection of traditions, “ truths,” and unfulfilled promises that continue to grow.In “ Junk Drawer Jesus” the spiritually exhausted are invited to examine our religious clutter and compare it to the person and the promises of Jesus Christ. We' ll discover what— if anything— of our spiritual collection should be kept. And in the process we rediscover the soul-satisfying simplicity of a God who refuses to fill our lives with junk, but instead offers grace upon grace.
