They were bound.
Bound by addictions to drugs, alcohol and food. Bound by life-threatening diseases. By rejection, shame and the perilous urge to commit suicide.
“Late last night, the suspect led the police on a high-speed chase. The suspect has been shot, but no further information has been released.” She watched the news report in horror, knowing they were talking about her bipolar son.
She was fat. No doubt about it, she was very fat. So she lost 60 pounds one year in high school. So many compliments — they felt so good! No reason for anyone to know her secret …
His violence was out of control. A furious drunken rage toward the mother of his three children landed him cold, hard prison time. A new wife, three more beautiful children, another chance. Drunken suspicions … how could he ever tear free from the bonds of alcoholism?
Seven riveting, true stories of people in Lacey, Washington. Desperate attempts against the tightly cinched ropes that shackle its slaves.
How will they ever find a way to break free?

Received this book today from church and sat down and started reading it, could not put it down. Thank you Pastor Secrist for following through with your vision and for those that were so transparent with their hearts in sharing.
Purchasing several copies of Bound to be Free for Christmas will definitely be on our Christmas gift list for others. ~Thea
I read this book and was inspired. This will be a great tool to reach bound, broken and lost people in our community and all over the world. People will accept and serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ after reading these inspirational stories. Ann and I bought several copies to give to family, friends, co-workers and people in our community. Vaughn & Ann
