We’re living on the edge.
Life is tough. Bad things happen.
We wonder what’s coming next. We’re scared, anxious, angry, and sad.
We try, but never feel good enough, smart enough, or attractive enough. We wear masks. We try to fit in. We live lies.
We’re on a downward spiral. Maybe you’re on a downward spiral.
There’s a fierce battle going on in your mind. Your heart is at stake.
This is a battle you must win.
Expose the lies. Embrace the truth. Become who you really are.
Get ready.

Adult Edition
In Living on the Edge, Gary shows teens four positive steps to change the way we think about our life challenges and move forward with hope and healing. A must read for not only teens, but parents, teachers, coaches, and counselors.
Amazing. Such a difficult topic, but I appreciate how direct the author is, and that he didn’t over complicate the process. Living on the Edge is exactly the type of book teens need – clear and to the point. A valuable resource for counselors.

Teen Edition
Adult Edition
Difference Maker can make a real difference in your life. Gary shows us how to change the way we think about our life challenges so that we can heal and move forward with hope. He hones in on the one secret to rise above all the lies we believe about ourselves and our circumstances. The secret is service — learning to influence others for good.
We can find ourselves lost without purpose or direction. Many end up in a hopeless downward spiral. Gary’s insight in getting to the heart of the issue and focusing on the real battle, which is the battle for the mind, brings hope and clarity instead of hopelessness and confusion. I will definitely recommend these books.
Does Gary ever speak on this subject?
Gary speaks to a wide variety of audiences (teens, parents, adults, school districts, universities, churches, conferences, etc.) about difference-making, overcoming adversity, and using hardship for good. The world needs us. It’s time to become who we really are.
