Publisher's summary

Functional Dysfunction tells a story of the author's life. It is transitioning from tragedy to triumph, and from abuse to abundance. Living in multiple states has put him in a position to have to engage, know, tolerate, and understand people. His childhood path could have put him on track for drugs and alcohol just to drown the noise of the inner pain resulting from physical abuse, emotional neglect, and molestation. He opted to not succumb, but to allow it to motivate him. Now being in Christian ministry for more than 30 years and a physician for 18 years, he chose to use his unique skillset in understanding people and their fears, hopes, setbacks, and humanness at its worst and its best. With that, he is able to affect change in people's lives by being in the healing profession, impacting mind, body, and soul.

This book takes you on a journey, as you have to walk through the sour grapes of his early childhood, and how that trauma affected him transitioning into adulthood. Then shows you how during his journey he had to make a decision with understanding there is pain in change and pain in remaining the same, as he chose the one that moved him forward. He takes you from a barren land, to a land of milk and honey. He concludes with what he calls "winning strategies" to empower, encourage, and motivate his listeners that it is never too late to become a better version of yourself, and it can happen with changing your mindset, and your behaviors that are an extension of it. So that you can become that person you always knew that you could be, but life caused you some setbacks, and those setbacks discouraged you and made you settle.

You are functioning, yet at your core, you know you are hindered by dysfunction. Keep fighting, version 2.0 of you is within, and this book will help you turn those sour grapes into fine wine.

Honest, Disheartening & Inspirational

I read this book not knowing what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised and inspired by the boldness, reality and the healing of the author.

I am a firm believer that even in hardships there is a purpose. I believe that our childhood wounds gives us the proper skill set that we need to set us forward in our destiny.

Thank you for daring to be brave and sharing your story.
