The title of this book may be somewhat of a misnomer. While it's called "Overcoming Fear - a Guide to Freedom," there are times when you may not be able to do that, but you will either use the fear or reach a state where you can embrace it. After years of desiring to write this book, there was one thing that stood in the way of him sitting down to write it - fear. Fear is one of those emotions we can easily recognize. Roger was afraid of writing this book because he knew that for it to be meaningful, he had to be completely honest about himself. He felt he had allowed fear to control a lot of his life, and he feared being judged because of it. This author didn't want to be seen as a weakling (which is how he felt many times when fear took over). But his desire to help others and make a difference in their lives began to outweigh that fear. Writing this book became his personal mission. Roger believes that if he could move through all this "crap," then anyone could. He now has to share how he had accomplished this. There had to be a reason that life had given him what felt to be an excessive amount of fear and hardships. This book is his desire that you will realize that your life doesn't need to be controlled by fear. Roger wants you to know there are things you can do, processes you can utilize, and ways to change your perceptions. You can begin living fully and become fearless enough to go after everything you want!
