Not just another self-help book ---Original!
Usually self-help books are not what I look for when I make my way down the aisles of a book store. But Breaking the Barriers was recommended by a friend and I never pass up a good book.

This book is truly life-changing from the introduction until the conclusion. The stories are so incredible and unbelievable. Better yet, Jason Frenn outstandingly uses simple steps and illustrations to convey his point that ANYONE can BREAK THROUGH the Barriers. Whether you are at a low point in your life, or you're content with your life, this book can help put into perspective the things you need to overcome to experience life at its best.
This is a genuine read and Jason Frenn does a great job of telling original concepts and impossible stories! He comes from a home where he was destined to grow up to be an alcoholic because of his family, and by opening his heart to the truth, he overcame that barrier. Through his humility and letting go of pride, Mr. Frenn shows that change is in reach for anyone! Even me. I am a realist, and don't always reach for the stars. If you are like me, buy it, read it and open you mind to what Jason has in store for you.
Who knows? If you are like me and you aren't a fan for self-help books, you may find that this book is original and genuine. You may find that its not JUST another book that will dust on your shelf. You may find yourself needing it more than you thought, and therefore reading it for a second time. -
Breaking Barriers
In three sections on "The Heart of the Father, The Wisdom of the Son, and The Discipline of the Spirit, the author explains how you can be the type of person God expects you to be. In story-telling style, the author describes Godly character and how to develop it in the reader's life. I especially enjoyed the chapter on True Wisdom and how important it is for us to learn Godly wisdom.

There are several things that I think set this book apart from others. The author did not come from a perfect family, so he has experiences that can be helpful for others, especially young people. It is written in a comfortable, relaxed style. The author opens up and shares stories of his life, decisions he had to make, and situations that required wisdom in behavior. Imagine being approached by a rough looking character in the middle of the night asking for money and a ride. Then think about helping him and learning an important spiritual lesson from the stranger. Another story of unattended baggage at the airport demonstrates behavior choices.
Although anyone can learn from this book, I would highy recommend it for teens and young adults. -
Inspirational
This book gives you the steps needed to break free from the obstacles that keep you from being all God wants you to be. It is a very quick and easy read. The author uses his own life to give examples of lessons he has learned. He also gives you easy steps that you can use to start studying the Bible. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommened it.

Overcoming Adversity
This easy-to-read book will help anyone find inspiration and help when overcoming adversities of life. Using the Bible as the foundation, and drawing truths found in his own learned life lessons as well as those of others, the author shares a step-by-step guide to becoming all we are destined to be. Each chapter ends with a specific prayer meant to assist the reader.

The book can be read cover to cover or a chapter at a time which makes it ideal for group studies.
The author quotes his friend, "Pride is like bad breath; everyone knows you have it except you." -
