This book is a glimpse inside the mind and heart of a sister and a brother. Their bond is stronger than what is perceived. Both siblings wanted to be loved and accepted, but life challenges caused isolation and disconnections. One sibling was distant, going from being a single mother to marriage and moving on in life with being a military spouse, living in different states, and traveling the world has been an escape. Still, the other sibling was deemed an outcast due to the decisions not always being conducive to life. Both have dealt with many obstacles in life. Abandoned by their mother, having different fathers, dealing with rejection, and mistreatment by others have been challenging. They faced struggles of fitting in with their peers and looking for love in all the wrong places. The streets entangled one, and abuse was experienced by the other on many occasions. Disappointments caused both to look up for answers, while tears became evident when alone, yet they were able to confide in each other. Neither was judged or looked at as doing any wrong. They were just in need of trust and love--two characteristics developed through the genes of family. Together they share a tale of disappointments and pain, seeking healing from the trauma experienced. This is their story.

The six chapters of this book were chosen to reach a variety of audiences. The poems are randomly on topic. There are numerous writings styles to tell a story or just make you think. The irony is, the more you read, the better you will understand the jotted-down madness. The objective is to be honest and free verbally. Some moments are extremely personal to the writer. Others can be a personality trait of the stranger reader. All are a way to connect to the words as a reviewer. I wrote this to be free and have no limitations. I'm challenging the audience to read into the creations.

Don't let the title of this book fool you--it's not meant to insult you. The title actually comes from one of the numerous biblical messages written and preached by the author, Rev. Roger Austin. Covering a wide range of topics, Pastor Austin deals with the types of experiences that many of us face in life--our striving to start and continue a relationship with Jesus, having a true understanding of the Christian faith, remaining committed in our walk with Christ, and how to do our best to treat other people the way we want to be treated. Since Pastor Austin has employed many stories from his own life in order to help illustrate the points he makes in his messages, readers will discover how various types of life experiences--heartbreaking, anger-inducing, and funny--contain elements that can help lead, guide, and direct us in our walk through life with Christ. While we all have our own thoughts, feelings, and opinions on the topic of religious faith, Wrong Again, Doglips will speak to both unbelievers and followers of the Christian faith.
