ReadersMagnet Review features Nelson J Fowlkes’ book on spiritual growth, Overcoming Adversity: Resetting Goals.
Challenges and adversity are part of human existence. As cliché as it may sound, this has been true since the dawn of time. We have always battled against nature’s forces, other species, and even with each other for survival and dominion. As eons passed and civilizations advanced, our adversities took on new forms and significance. We struggle against rejections, stress, anxieties, setbacks, goals, and power play. We also struggle for growth, recognition, affirmation, reputation, and status, whether at work, home, in our communities, and the society. Today, ReadersMagnet Review takes a closer look at Nelson J Fowlkes’ book on spiritual growth, overcoming life’s challenges, and reaching goals.
The book Overcoming Adversity: Resetting Goals is a memoir and a guidebook on facing life’s challenges and rising above them.
Retired Lieutenant Colonel Nelson J Fowlkes published Overcoming Adversity in 2018. He wrote the book to remind all of us that obstacles and goals are a part of our narrative arc. To survive in this life and leave a mark, we must face various challenges and attain various goals in life. Because life is shared with others and is full of internal and external forces, there will always be challenges in achieving your goals.
