LONGWOOD, FL-It took a high-speed collision with a hydroplaning car for author Jackie Quinn to wake up and realize the beauty found on the other side of "self." In our cutthroat world "self" is celebrated and elevated at every turn. Jackie Quinn's At the End of Myself (paperback, 978-1-60034-973-7) offers a refreshingly new twist: you can embrace weakness and be stronger for it.
Says Quinn, "I don't take lightly the opportunities God has created for me to influence people in His name. Every year I go before thousands of people nationally as a professional singer, speaker, and author. It is my hope that readers will be able to see themselves in my misguided, do-it-all, be-it-all experiences and discover within their own individual life roles what to carry and what to let go, how to accept relationship's natural ebb and flow, and how to achieve maximum vulnerability and co-laborship with God. If I can help release just one person from the self-reliance myths that this world would have us all believe, then my book will have succeeded."
Through the use of real-life illustrations, biblical application, and reader reflections, Quinn encourages control-seekers to find vitality and strength in their life roles. For 21 years she battled self-reliance, which she soon came to label a "soul-stifling condition." By making the appropriate adjustments in her thinking she was able to pursue a more meaningful, productive faith journey.
