Each chapter begins with a biblical quote and ends with a prayer, allowing the reader to apply spiritual principles to their particular situation. It emphasizes surrender to divine will, the support of the Christian community, and forgiveness as pillars of the process. It is not a secular method, but a path of faith that honors the sovereignty of Christ.
