The idea that forces an individual to act, believe, or live within the concept of imaginable reality is often seen as a pattern that develops in a disorder (e.g. recurrence, seasonal variation) that helps to predict the future of action or may serve to alter the usual course of action.The book can be effective use in filling the gap in building a relationship with God and proposes the importance of maintaining a relationship during the most difficult period of one's life.
