How do people who have experienced trauma and painful situations in life cope? Where do they find the resilience and resourcefulness that will help them to rise above their circumstances?

In “When Mourning Breaks”, Anthony Yeo revisits some of his therapeutic journeys with clients who have taught him that the human spirit is indomitable.

As Anthony recounts his counseling sessions in each of these case studies, we are given a glimpse into the journeys that he took in helping each client. Much as they were helped by him, he too learnt precious lessons in life from them.

He learnt how not to give up on life even when life is ebbing away; how to laugh in the midst of pain; how to turn tragedy into victory; and how to find self-worth and meaning in life even when society deems you incapable of doing so.

Whether you are going through tough times yourself, or helping someone else for whom mourning has broken, it is our hope that the journeys that have been captured in this book will light the way ahead.

I wrote this book for both men and women.Why? Because Lust isn’t a male problem.

It’s a human problem. Lust ruins our relationship, robs us of spirirtual passion, and leaves us feeling hollow.

But the truth is that you and I don’t have to stay on that treadmill of guilt and shame.

God calls us to a high standard - not even a hint of sexual impurity. And He gives us everything we need to make it a reality.

If you are ready for a practical, grace-centered plan for defeating lust and celebrating purity. I hope you’ll join me on a most promising journey.
