Greetings, King David Haynes here, author of A Lame Man Healed, How the Son of a Football Star Overcame Addiction Through Faith. Introduction. This is a different kind of book. It is conceived and written to be a blessing to you and all who read it. It is a work that explores the many ups and downs in the life of this child of God. It is inspired by the King of Kings, the bright morning star who had mercy on me and saved me. It is a work that is intended to be a source of optimism and guidance, a message of hope and encouragement. It is my goal to have the light shine in dark places and help bring some hope to those who have lost hope. It is my desire in writing this book that the Lord will use my story according to His purpose. I pray that it may help bring life and freedom to as many of the captives as possible. This is not a work of fiction, but a real life drama that describes many stages of my life. It chronicles some of the madness and deliverance that I experienced firsthand. I write for those who are like I was, the prodigal sons and daughters who have left home. Like the Bible's prodigal son, they have demanded what was owed to them and left their father. They have run off to a faraway country, which is what living the life of both the drug world and the streets of America is, a faraway place from what God and your loved ones intended for you. This book is for the drug addicts and alcoholics. Those who suffer from other addictions need the Lord's guidance and love as well.
