Author and Speaker James A. Ballou.

Soul Survivor was written to provide hope for anyone who feels that their chance for happiness is limited by the circumstances or events from their childhood.  As one who has come through difficult trials and overcome them, the author is dedicated to providing help and support to those who have faced similar challenges.  Many years ago he discovered the way to overcome the trials of his childhood and was able to go on to succeed academically, professionally and spiritually.  As a husband for nearly twenty years and father for more than seventeen his life is proof that anyone can overcome even the most difficult of life’s obstacles.

Each life is the sum total of the thousands of choices that are made. With each choice we open ourselves to different opportunities and to a variety of new alternatives and options. Choices are much like drops of rain because by themselves they usually amount to very little but in large numbers they have the force of a raging torrent. It is upon this principle that Soul Survivor explains how even abuse, neglect, volence and hatred are powerless to affect the future of individuals who choose to embrace God and partake in the healing that He so generously offers.

You are encouraged to experience this heart warming story of a boy who, by the power of choice and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, escaped the nightmare that had been thrust upon him. Read the story for yourself and witness the glorious charity and love that God has for each of His children.
