Dear friend, You who have been so Valiantly struggling with Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder for far too long, NOW have available to you in this volume an uplifting, motivational, and inspirational DAILY DEVOTIONAL - with the Unique feature of having the OCPD person held distinctly in mind. A FIRST of its kind in the OCPD treatment and wellness recovery field, the author and Founder of Mercy Rose Ministries, Intl., and President of New Frontier Health Research, Inc., has produced an unparalleled resource to become a constant trustworthy 'companion' and repository of OCPD emancipation messages - and lifelong support guide to prevent relapse. Whether you choose to read and meditate upon only one illuminating, encouraging psycho-spiritual message per day, along with its direct OCPD application; or whether you prefer to ponder several topical messages, successively, over the course of your day, you WILL be fortified, energized, and empowered to adopt these Liberating Life principles and incorporate these Freeing Healthful practices into your daily routine and affairs. The incredibly beneficial result will be a person (yourself!) becoming increasingly more clear about HOW your present choice of mental subjects, thinking habits, thought patterns, and emotional/feeling tendencies tend to destabilize your life, impoverish your relationships, and sabotage your best efforts to 'make your life work'. Correct, and 'True to Life' (scientifically-validated) viewpoints, psychologically sound philosophies, and Scriptural Verities overlooked by many will begin to substitute for your current self-harming misperceptions and distressingly negative world view. Remarkably, this volume addresses the often little-recognized (by OCPD researchers and Treatment Practitioners, alike) DIRECT relationship between the OCPD person's fundamental grasp of Hope (a mere wish versus a positive expectancy), their conception of Faith (mental assent only, or confident knowing), and their understanding of Love (whether childish, adolescent, or mature), which constitute the three great Pillars of the Christian faith - AND the only REAL solid foundation for an Harmonious, Successful, Fulfilling, Productive, and Mental (and Emotional) Health Filled Life! In closing, then, know that your reading, study, rehearsal, and application of this volume's principles has the bright-shining potential to transform your Life from one of sorrowful defeat to ongoing Joyful Triumph! And even though the 'reading index' (or, the designed ease for reading: word selection and sentence construction) is such that even a young adult can readily comprehend its concepts, and put them to use; yet a learned scholar will be intrigued, and his or her interest held, by its thoughtful and original presentation. And, lastly, here will be found not only enlightened, but highly PRACTICAL, guidance in the following respective arenas especially formulated for the OCPD person: For Hope - the Way to TRUE Confidence and Abiding, Quiet Trust in God!; for Faith - the Way to CERTAIN Unshakable Belief and a Visionary Experience of God!; and for Love - the Way to FREEING, Invincible Love and an Ongoing Experience of Joy! An ideal volume to keep on your nightstand, in your purse or briefcase, on your work desk, or reading room stand. May you recognize, dear friend, the tremendous VALUE this book represents to you, and avail yourself of its priceless messages for OCPD Healing, Deliverance, and Wellness Recovery! Godspeed to you, and a Brighter Tomorrow! PS: This book serves as a 'capstone edition' to the author's flagship book and emancipation program on OCPD, entitled 'OCPD's Only Hope of Psychological Wellness! The One Scientific Plan Capable of Progressively Freeing the OCPD Bound.' It also serves as an equally fine companion volume to the author's Biblically-based and spiritually grounded volume, 'When OCPD Meets the Power of God! How Insight from Above Will Unlock the Shackles of OCP
About the Author: Mack Ethridge is uniquely qualified as no other person alive today to author 'Daily Encouragement for Your Recovering OCPD Heart!' as he is America's premier OCPD lay expert, having written the world's first and only comprehensive textbook and original, innovative workbooks on Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder, supplying his best-selling treatment and recovery volumes to the Northwell Health OCD Center in Glen Oaks, New York; and he is also a leading expert on little-known, also new and restored, specialized aspects of Biblical knowledge (concerning our astounding Identity in Christ, claiming our Freedom in Christ, exercising our Authority in Christ, and, perhaps most importantly, obtaining the Deliverance available through Christ, at every level of our beings, including mental/emotional/psychological, and spiritual); whose books are in the private libraries of such world notables as Professor N.T. Wright, Andy Andrews, Claire Pfann, Marilla Ness, Akiane Kramarik, Tony Robbins, and Pastor Joel Osteen. And he heads Mercy Rose Ministries Worldwide Outreach, in operation, now, for over a decade, as its Founder and Operational Director. And with profound, scholarly Insights into the psychological makeup and inner motivations of OCPD people, arrived at through thousands of hours, spanning a number of years of research, ongoing direct, intimate contact, interaction with, and keen observation of OCPD persons, and Mack's intensive decades-long heart search into the spiritual depths of authentic Biblical Christianity, Mack stands wholly unequalled among OCPD researchers, writers, and instructors, as well as clearly unmatched among Christian ministers, teachers, and counselors, in his ability to convey Vital, life-freeing practices, disciplines, and Truths to OCPD people in the capacity of Master Teacher and Christian Scholar/Counselor, par excellence! This one-of-a-kind psycho-spiritual combination of knowledge, skills, and heavenly communication gift of Mack's, so expertly synthesized, has produced a volume destined to become a trailblazing classic in the annals of OCPD Hope for Healing messages and Practices, and Illuminated Philosophy, for the OCPD person to safeguard and preserve their new-found, or newly-bestowed Freedom and Deliverance, and Victory, from Above - at long last! Lastly, this edition contains the COMPLETE text of the original, more expensive 'unabridged' Daily Encouragement edition, except the interior text and artwork is black and white.
