Förlagets beskrivning
As a teen, one drink or hit might seem harmless. Exposing his own temptations, uses and addictions to drugs, Fred DePold shares how millions of Americans look back to that first choice as one that led to a lifetime of disappointments, broken lives and families, ruined relationships and even death.
DePold's life of drug and alcohol abuse started casually as a teen. A beer here and a joint there turned into 20 years of struggle that affected his relationships with friends, family and acquaintances. He recognizes that partying can seem fun and first but in the long term it will destroy your life. "Stand at the Crossroads" is a firsthand look at the issues that one must face on whether or not to join the party. While some of the drugs have changed over the years, the effects on peoples' lives are the same, ruined and broken.
"Stand at the Crossroads" is written with the hopes that the millions of teenagers and young adults struggling or experimenting with drugs/alcohol and or thinking the drugs and or alcohol crowd is cool, will read this and take to heart the learning experiences of those that have gone before them. After reading his story DePold prays that they will turn from their addictions, make a u-turn and start living a different better blessed life.
The main theme of the book is base on scripture found in Jeremiah 6:16 (NIV): This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it and you will find rest for your souls. In this verse Jeremiah is instructing us to learn from others that have gone before us. In essence they have been there and done that. Listen to them learn from them and you will find peace. In an attempt to leave their addictions behind many have tried and failed. But many more have overcome their there destructive behavior. You can too! It's time to make a u-turn!
