I was exposed to countless situations while coaching and training individuals, companies and organizations over the last 25 years. I have done everything from leadership, customer service and inspirational training in front of thousands of people to small groups. All of these settings presented various opportunities for people to come to me and discuss their relationship issues along with many other topics. I have always been pretty good at devising a master plan and establishing direction. But I found myself being drawn to a particular area sometime back and as a result, I landed here, "Waging a War Against Divorce" and helping couples rekindle the fire in their marriage. Initially, I started out talking to women about their marriage in an effort to stop them from ending up in my situation. You see, some years back I found myself divorced and raising two children alone. A lot of people like to place blame on the other party. But the truth is that no one is perfect, and no one is totally innocent when it comes to divorce. Even if we are not the one largely responsible for the trauma that caused the divorce, most of us would be hard pressed to say that each of us couldn't have done something or said something better. It takes two people to be married, and potentially it takes two people to get a divorce unless there is an extreme issue like addiction, infidelity or abuse involved. What I found as I talked to the women, was that we were emotionally driven in situations that needed rational thought. And the state of being emotional and the state of being rational are in intense competition with each other. Our conversation, our actions, and our mannerisms determined the outcome in a lot of our situations because we were not thinking; we were just speaking based on how the person or situation made us feel. As we came up with solutions for each couple we found that the outcome was amazing and produced great results. The couples were getting stronger, and things began to take a turn for the better. Over time, I found that the husbands were very receptive to the changes that were taking place in their wives and I ended up counseling more couples than I did individuals. Now, I find myself in a very wonderful but peculiar place. I do more couples training than I do individual women, as it pertains to marriage. The success that they have experienced in rekindling or recommitting to their marriages was a clear indicator that I was on to something special. That is why we are here together sharing the idea of love and happiness to the masses. Love is a truth; it is a reality. Love never fails, so it is important to get you to that stage with each other first. I have set out on a mission to wage a war against divorce, miscommunication, and discord when it comes to dealing with someone that you love.

I knew I always wanted to help people. As a kid, I would sacrifice myself to please others and feel good about myself. It was something about seeing the joy in someone's eyes when they felt that my actions were genuine. That is what inspired me. I didn't know that I would chase that feeling my entire childhood and adulthood. I recall a time when I needed school supplies for school and instead of asking my parents to purchase those items, I repaired the holes of my book bag, so my parents didn't have to spend money on another one. I remember feeling the sense of relief that I had granted them by not having to worry about what I needed. It was that feeling that I didn't understand nor could I articulate. Even today, I've been told that I have this "Savior" mentality and that I just want to save everyone. By no means will I or have I ever declared myself someone's "Savior" because I don't possess that power. Consequently, I do believe I can see the potential in everyone, and I only want to support, and assist them in achieving their goals in life. Many relationships have developed in my life because I could always see someone's potential and their desire to be successful. From the moment the conversation starts, I would begin to decide if I could help them. My little TV antennas would burst out from my head and chime a ringtone, "I got you, I got you." At that moment, I'm sizing up the situation to see if I can help them excel and propel to the next level. I would never think of it as a potential romantic engagement. My objective would strictly be to evalaute a person's desires and needs and determining if I could tap into it and help them. I never reflected on the idea that I had always been sacrificing myself for others even to the detriment of my own emotional, psychological, and physical needs. I knew that I had the capability to survive without my needs being met, or at least that is what I thought. For so long my needs were placed on a shelf, collecting mounds of dust, spider webs, hidden behind other walks of my life and forgotten. I processed at a very young age that bringing joy to others would be my reward. That it would fill up my cup of loneliness, my longing for love, and the desire to allow myself to be loved. I had to decide what the best solution would be so I would no longer give so much without someone filling me up with joy, just as I had done for others for so many years. At Peace is my journey to finding tranquility and serenity in my daily walk with disappointments, diagnosis with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), failures and successes. My life was so overwhelmed with internal misery and self-loathing until I realized I needed "Peace that surpassed" my understanding. I started on this journey to figure out how and why I got to this place and then developed a plan to get myself out quickly.

Heaven is Not Automatic was birthed out of my desire to fulfill the Great Commission; sharing the truth of God's Word in simplicity to those who may not otherwise read the bible. My passion is to help others understand that heaven is not a guarantee for everyone that departs this life. God loves us (His creation) so much and desires that we become His children and spend eternity with Him, but unless we understand His Kingdom (His ways of doing things), we could miss heaven. In this book, I will bring an understanding of the ways of God through His Word. I have compiled the relating scriptures that highlight the chapters presented, and I believe they will give specific truths that address this subject. The truth is, God loves us and Scripture tells us that, "it is not His Will that any should parish" but that they come to repentance," (2 Peter 3:9) because He has no pleasure in the death of the wicked. (Ezekiel 33:11). 
Some people believe that everyone will automatically go to heaven when they transition from this life. I use the word transition because when your spirit leaves your body, your spirit, who is the real you, will go on to live forever in one of two places. It's not popular nor is it acceptable to some belief systems, that God will send people to hell. The truth is, God does not send people to hell. He gives us the opportunity to choose heaven, but when we don't accept His invitation to receive Jesus, we automatically choose hell. He gives us that right. While all of us are creations of God, we are not automatically a child of God. There are requirements that have to be met before anyone can call themselves a child of God. 
I pray this book gives you insight and clarity so that you might be able to make an intelligent decision and choose the Lord Jesus Christ. I desire more than anything to be obedient to the great commission. Praying with those I encounter to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and disciplining them to do the same for others. As a Christian, it is my responsibility to share the Good News of the Gospel.
This book is written with scriptures compiled from the Holy Bible and my personal experiences. More than anything I want you to have the information you needed to obtain a full understanding of what salvation truly is. There may be some information that is hard for you to understand, consider the information that you can relate to, and pray for understanding for the rest. If you are reading this book and have not trusted your life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, I pray this will be a tool that leads you to make the most important decision that you will ever make in your life and then share it with your family and friends.

Every so often a book comes along that forces us to examine our ministerial identity in light of the immense pressures placed upon us by those we seek to help. The weight of ministry can be enormous. Few have been as transparent as Ricardo Dorcean. This book is a masterpiece that carefully examines the burden of ministry amidst the blessing of being called. It is a fact that a man with an opinion is never at the mercy of a man with experience. His experiences have given him something for all of us. Many leaders are often disillusioned by the resistance they experience within the church and fall into depression, resign or even contemplate or commit suicide. This book is a God send for any leader who needs help working through the challenges of ministry. It also helps the laity in understanding their role in pushing many clergy over the edge. I am convinced that God has given Ricardo Dorcean a word in this season to bring healing to the body of Christ. There is so much pain in our churches and many clergy are hurting with nowhere to heal. Before you hang up your harps on the willow tree, read this book. It will encourage you to dig for deeper meanings in your call and truly assess your motivations. This book is a what, how and when book. It explains what happens within the life of leadership and the church and explains how certain scenarios play out. It also gives you insight on when you react or move. Countless leaders in the past could have benefited from this book. You have an opportunity to sit at the feet of someone who has lived this out. I encourage every leader and laity alike to read this book. I am convinced that our churches will be better and our leaders will be stronger.

Psalms 37:23 declares that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and he delights in his way This is a very amazing and important scripture to comprehend. Because it declares that the steps to the path of your life have already been determined. Which means that success in life is simply placing your feet in the footprints that God has already established for you. In his book "You're Not Behind," Pastor David Roberson gives us clear understanding of not only how to discover your PURPOSE, but also how to skillfully and strategically walk out your PATH to it. This book is the answer to the question that lies deep within the subconscious of every human born. Why am I here? Until this question is answered, the TRUE life that God has destined for you will never be realized. Because after all, if you don't know what you are BORN for, you will never truly know what to LIVE for. Isaac PitreChrist Nations Church

You're Not Behind: Discovering Purpose in the Delay

Roberson, David

I finished one of my motivational speeches to students at a university; it was received well. I received applause and admiration from the crowd and, as usual, was asked a question I had been asked many times before: "Do you have a book that tells your story?" My answer was the same as always, "Not yet, but I am working on one."In truth, I was working on a book but not with any sense of urgency. I had become very successful in life and writing a book was a big deal that required a lot of soul searching. It would require me to reflect upon and deal with memories, some that I would rather forget. With the urging of friends and family, I took on the task to share "the rest of my story." In a thirty to forty-five-minute speech, I was barely scratching the surface of my story. I knew that there was so much more that I could share and, to truly help others, believed I should tell.I grew up black and poor. I am still black, but I made the decision, with the help of my God, and through his Son, Jesus Christ, not to remain poor. This book will detail my journey to success. It will explain how I overcame many trials and tribulations along the way to become the person that I am today. My ultimate goal is to make a difference in my own life, as well as in the lives of those that I encounter. Growing up, I had no problem accepting help when necessary, but I totally refused to become a victim and accept pity. I didn't want, nor would I accept, an excuse not to be successful. Yet, I found that there are plenty of people willing to give you reasons to fail. Some basic reasons are poverty, a broken home, abuse, lack of education and physical disability. I learned from the great speaker and writer, Jim Rohn, that these are all part of a disease called "excusitis."This work will be a success if it helps to encourage one person to make a difference with his or her life; and, if it convinces one reader not to give up on themselves--even if society gives up on them. My ultimate goal is to help others to look at everyday as one day, one step on their life's journey of success.

There have been many books written about moving from rags to riches. What makes mine different? I would say the big difference is that this is "my" rags to riches story. Of all the books that have been written on this subject, none of them were my story. I believe my story will move and touch the hearts of people in a different way than other books.This book is not only about overcoming trials and tribulations, but it also seeks to reveal my true heart, my underlying motivation and the character it takes to rise above poverty to enduring riches. Therefore, I am writing to motivate, encourage and give hope to people who feel hopeless. The most important message that I want the reader to hear is that we live in the greatest and most prosperous country on earth. Making daily sound choices affords one the greatest opportunities to rise from poverty to riches in our great land.

The Healing Experience

We are living in a time when people want something more than just an everyday human experience - the desire to feel something greater; do something greater; live in a mindset of something greater; and expecting God to do something greater. You feel like you are different from others, but you can't pinpoint what it is that sets you apart. You have this longing to get more knowledge and understanding of Who God truly is. You have questions about your purpose and why you do or see things differently than others. How do we live in a space that is different than the mundane of everyday experiences? You wake up; go to the bathroom; prepare breakfast for you and the family; get the kids ready for school; prepare yourself to leave to go to work; meet up with the same people at the office; attend several meetings about the work that you're supposed to get done but can't get done because you have another meeting immediately after the meeting that you're currently in; and then you get to your office, only to realize that you haven't eaten lunch and it's already 2 PM. So, what do you do? You go to the vending machine to get a snack to keep you fueled until time to leave at 5 PM. SURPRISE? You have just received another task from your supervisor, asking for your input on a report that was due 3 hours ago, so you will have to read immediately, in order for you to get it back to them before you leave for the day. Well, now it's 6 PM; and your scheduled time to leave has long passed, so, someone else is picking up your children and preparing dinner for them. Have you got that "ah-huh" moment that has caused a paradigm shift in your mind of something greater? If you cannot answer these questions with confidence, it's time for you to settle down and let's work on spending some time with God for the next 21 days, consecrating ourselves to be set apart for the Master's use.
