A gripping poetic testimonial diary. Based on true life events, A spiritual conversion From desperation to redemption. Rewarding and eye opening.
A Way to Redemption is a collective composition of free verse that examines the depths of a man's soul-from being susceptible to drugs, alcohol, and lustful indulgences to being an addict and falling into a deadly psychotic episode. This book displays his yearnings, fears, torments, sorrows, trials, and his spiritual conversion from desperation to redemption. Here is a book that presents a challenging yet rewarding journey, one that ultimately leads to the greater Truth.
From "A driving force" - Maybe needed city living,
In the club,
Fuelled,
Unseen enemy,
Love floats through the air,
So dangerous,
Psychotic tendencies,
Asking,
Power, Promise, Saving release,
Mesmerising reflections,
The heavenly, Spiritual awakening,
Look inside yourself, The way,
About the Author:
Brett Ray Newman began writing songs when he was in his twenties. Then he turned to writing of a different sort, which took the form of a poetic diary of his experiences. This would eventually become A Way to Redemption. His motivation for publishing his book, Brett Newman says, "I hope my written testimonial helps others." "I want people to realize that even if we have done major things wrong, if we are truly sorry in our hearts, we can be forgiven. Redemption is offered to all of us. It is a spiritual conversion. If we honestly seek forgiveness, it will be given to us by the Spirit of the Almighty." Brett Newman lives in Christchurch, New Zealand, with his wonderful lady, Leeanne, and his big brilliant dog, Doofy.

Excerpt
AFTER EFFECTS
Who’s to mention the after effects of drug use?
Tens of thousands wasted
When about time,
Sometimes,
When it’s time to come off,
The convulsive pains,
The episodes
Many, like me, have tried to quit
Then for their trouble
Psychosis,
An evil ploy to take your life
Strife,
A tangle so twisted
The shame of what I went through,
Hard to comprehend,
Voices in my head
Months of prayer
Radio station surfing
Mindsets are so dangerous
All the time knowing God will help me,
Satanic bind trying to kill me,
The Lord almighty,
Prayers to him
He overruled and saved me
So thankfully
If you need saving
He can save you too
