An Excerpt from the Preface:

We live in a society today that has lost its moorings. Drug overdose deaths are at record highs, and many have lost what hope they had. The storms come, and people toss about on the sea of life with no secure anchor to hold them steady. Even when faith in God is present, faith that has not been tested before may not be sufficient. What is it that can help people to successfully navigate to their destiny?... A remedy that will heal our land is available for many of the ailments plaguing us all....

Consider the caterpillar that inches its way along, trying to make it through life, until one day it stops growing and is ready to start undergoing a transformation. The vulnerable caterpillar attaches itself to a limb and then enters the pupa stage, forming a chrysalis. A transforming miracle occurs to enable the eventual appearance of butterfly. Any number of things can happen to a caterpillar prior to forming the chrysalis, but how vulnerable it is then, just hanging there and completely unable to defend itself? One day, it will emerge more free than ever. One day, it will soar at heights that the caterpillar could have never comprehended. Just as that caterpillar works hard and struggles to grow up, we are similar in some ways. As each of us matures, we all change. We all enter into our own figurative chrysalis, and the dangers lurk for the vulnerable. Who will watch over that vulnerable chrysalis as it transforms into something miraculous? We need a Caretaker.
