This is not a book about Religion, as so many of my readers have inquired to me about. It is about my journey through the childhood and adolescent psychological injuries to my spiritual self. *(c)Spiritual Injuries are the often conscious and willful attempts to deliberately degrade and diminish the development of the psyche of the child/ person and thereby alter and or re-direct the ongoing moral developmental stages of the moral, psychological and physiological structure of the mental, social and behavioral presentations of the individual (s), group, race, culture and their very livelihood.
