It is filled with the struggle to find meaning and purpose through it all during high school, college, and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTravels range from Washington State to New Jersey, Australia, Southeast Asia, California, to Alabama. The story ultimately culminates in an uplifting message of redemption and recovery. There are a series of traumatic episodes, both on and off the field, which are described with an open, honest, and sometimes humorous use of cultural references, recovery techniques, scripture verses, and theological insights gained by the author since those extreme life events. They are applied at just the right moments to help soften the blows from painful periods of growth, grief and loss, depression and despair, victory and defeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen all seems lost, God steps in and provides a glimmer of hope for the future and an inspirational ending, which really is a new beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 222\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 20, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48928292602008,"sku":"9798889439424","price":42.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/8830\/4024\/files\/B0afREmQ0U9798889439424.webp?v=1777074936","url":"https:\/\/thepinkflamingobooks.myshopify.com\/products\/the-life-and-times-of-joey-sligg-volume-one-hardcover","provider":"The Pink Flamingo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
