Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'BOOK DESCRIPTION'In Ron Larry's own raw and unique streetwise style, this stimulating story draws the reader into a rather suspenseful anticipation. This fascinating 'tell all book' reveals some rather frightful insights into some behind the scenes exploits of a drug-drenched life.It tells of many insidious ways that a person might travel as a compulsive behavioral personality rules them. The influences and the dangers are very detrimental, not only to mind and body, but to the spiritual part of man as well. Ron explains how drug-addicts are manipulated and maneuvered by the deadly effects of all sorts of chemicals and spirits.'From the Guttermost to the Uttermost' personifies the depths of a drug-torn life that lies hopeless in perplexity. The book reveals a life on a downward spiral leading to death, imprisonment, or total destruction. The average law-abiding person is left astonished at the perils from chapter to chapter.'Guttermost.' is by far a truly amazing story of how most lives were destroyed and Ron has still lived to tell about it. Grace and Mercy are shone thru this story time and time again. Most people can't imagine the shame and degradation that occurs when one's unplugged from reality and on a run of 'doing their own thing.'The book simply put is, for such a time as this, as drugs of all sorts flow freely in our schools and institutions of higher learning. Multitudes and scores of people shall be blessed as Ron shares his story of addiction. It is definitely a book of a run away child, running wild and it pops out at you on every other page.However, the Lord is not excluded in this story as Ron displays the awesomeness of a God of forgiveness in this drug-drenched and dying world. The inherent flaws of an addicted life runs silent and it runs deep, but not too deep for the creator of the universe to reach down and dirty His hands on us.This book will inspire your faith to rise to levels that others seldom experience. It will ignite hope, and cause it to be engrafted in you so that your life will be changed.'From the Guttermost to the Uttermost' is a story of how sin can destroy lives and set in motion trouble that seems so uncommon to men, trouble that most never imagine possible. It also reveals how God can take these same tragedies and turn them into triumphs.Ron Larry's life will inspire you to trust, hope and know that the impossible can happen to you, and miracles are yours for the asking.'From the Guttermost to the Uttermost' demonstrates a God who is faithful as promised, if we'll seek Him with unshakeable resolve to find what life is truly about. It shows that a steadfast progression to find faith in Jesus Christ will pay off in the present and in the future states of our being. God's grace is truly 'amazing' as is revealed in this book.I encourage anyone to obtain several copies of 'From the Guttermost to the Uttermost' and keep them on hand so that it will always be a tool ready for those that are enduring their own times of trouble. This book will be a great witnessing tool for those who have no hope, for it shows that 'all is possible with God.'I believe that 'From the Guttermost fo the Uttermost' reveals the true nature of God for every life. I commend the author for his openness, and for sharing such intimate details about his life so that others may learn how to find their own triumph in the midst of tragedy.This novel is a must read for believers and non-believers alike. It's insightful to a world that most know nothing about. And, it gives light where there is darkness; and hope for the hopeless; and glory to the God of Mercy who forgives seventy times seventy and then some.This book will cause one to think about the very nature of Almighty God. Many will read it and say that they have never been one iota as mischievous as the character of Ron Larry. Many will cringe at the fact that their lives have been drug-free and above board. But, the whol.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - FOREWORDI wrote this book basically for one simple reason: because I enjoy my God. An unusual statement, perhaps, for a onetime devotee of the 'live-for-success' school of life to be making, but if anything it proves that even the most determined worldling is not immune to the magnetic pull of its Maker. And how glad I am that this is so, for the Lord I've come to know has delighted me beyond anything the world has to offer, and become fully as real and alive to me as any flesh-and-blood human being.And like any such entity, he has at times enraged me, ignored me, confounded me and gotten on my nerves as much as I'm sure I have his . and yet after over two decades of tumultuous 'togetherness,' I can truthfully say that just the thought of him (generally) brings a smile to my face. He gives meaning to every facet of my life, and my days are vibrant because of him. He is Someone I truly could not live without.I also wrote this book because I see so many people today who can't begin to understand that kind of joy, that kind of relationship with the Lord .GODYSSEY: Chapter-by-Chapter Synopsis with ExcerptsCHAPTER I: STRANGE GODSDrawing on the author's own experience, this is a brisk retrospective view of the regnant values of the '70s and '80s, rich with the aphorisms of the times, focusing on the 'live-for-success/look-out-for-number-one' phenomenon and the pathos it engendered in the human soul.EXCERPTS:Maybe it was because for once I was as intent on observing as on making an impression, but it was at the proverbial 'power lunch,' those fabled occasions where knowing which fork to use with the shrimp cocktail counts as much as knowing which buttons to push in a prospective client, that I had my first real insight into 'the nature of the beast.'The small talk over cocktails concluded, they were segueing into the raison d' etre for the whole affair, when suddenly I caught it. That little group of hotshot MBAs, looking so cool and noncommittal in their preppy 'business casuals,' sipping their Perriers with an air of breezy self-assurance -- was afraid. Despite all the glad-handing and thirtysomething bonhomie going on, they were very much aware that even on the ostensibly neutral ground of this clubby, fern-drenched watering hole, 'a simple nuance can ruin a career.'Careerwise, I was doing as well as an ambitious administrative assistant could expect, but as a result of all the imploding pressures from the drive to maintain 'high visibility' and the 'competitive edge,' I began to burn out. I don't know that it was a burnout in the 'clinical' sense, so much -- I was a little too green yet for the really 'grand mal' stuff -- as the kind that results from living out Santayana's classic definition of fanaticism, which consists in 'redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim.'Just what was I jumping through all these hoops for anyway Letting a place own me to the extent that I was practically running my private life on the concept of management-by-objective Was I trying to achieve something by this frenetic, work-centered lifestyle -- or trying to avoid something Had I ever really defined success for myself Ever really questioned the things upheld as comprising the new set of 'desiderata' in life - the stock options, corner office, golden parachute, etc. -- or had I just blindly bought into something simply because I had been culturally conditioned to believe this was the sort of life I was supposed to want CHAPTER II: THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICEIn the search for her soul, the author rediscovers the Lord as he reveals himself within her own angst-ridden milieu, sparking a subtle yet powerful spiritual 'renaissance.'EXCERPTS:As I got to know him personally, on a deeper and deeper level, it wasn't long before all my stained-glass notions of him lay scattered around in splinters and shards. Meek and mild He could send his 'displeasure' ripping through my soul with.
