"To have it all, first you have to lose it all," says best-selling author Steve Bonenberger. "When your current life is no longer possible, then you're ready for the Daily Code, the new road map that takes your feet off the path of less onto the road to more.

The new Daily Code is one of the five life-changing lessons Bonenberger teaches in his powerful new book Through the Gates of Fire. Readers who start to add these lessons in their lives will soon leave failure in the dust.

Failure is no mystery. Failure is known by many of us. For some, it leads to a downward spiral. "Why me?" is the cry of our troubled minds. Faith has vanished; hopelessness has come to visit, and for some, to stay.

But others, though equally troubled, know in their hearts that there's help waiting. For them, failure can be a starting point. Through the Gates of Fire is the must-read book for each of us who has ever asked, "Why me?" This book is the "What's Next."

The Daily Code

None of us enter this life with the intention of hurting others. Nor do we expect do be hurt by others. But surely this happens. In our business world, in our personal life. Learning the Five Lessons in Through the Gates of Fire heals the hurts.

Practicing the Daily Code changes this hurt cycle forever. "Even if every penny and every relationship is gone," states author Bonenberger, "when we practice the Daily Code, God will send the people to help you. The gates to our personal garden begin to open."

Best of all, we learn how to be the answer to problems in our own lives; and in other people's lives, too. It's very powerful to changing from no longer being the wind sock, but instead the propeller. A driving force for good instead of being blown every which way by evil winds.

When we try to fix our own lives, we soon discover that we're dealing with inadequate resources. Broken lives take a Master Mechanic, and that mechanic is God. When we accept this, God will take us into God's "repairatory."

The New Ten Commandments

Northing's wrong with the original Ten Commandments. But are they working? Maybe it's time to add something new. Think about the old commandments. Kind of negative, aren't they? Each begins with a "Thou shall not..." They tell us what not to do, but don't tell us what to do.

What if there were new commandments that start with "Thou shalt...?" Much more proactive, and more practical to practice. Especially when the underlying fabric of these new commandments is a rich tapestry woven from a cloth called "kindness." Opening ourselves to the New Ten Commandments lifts our hearts and works wonders in our lives.

Stream of Mercy

Reaching the surface after drowning in failure takes a Leap of Faith. We must jump into the Stream of Mercy, another of the Five lessons in Through the Gates of Fire. And what a life-giving stream this is, waiting to take us out of our pain and mind traps. This lesson is rich with hope and action.

These are only three of the Five Lessons that will change our lives. It's sad that some will spend their one precious life crying in the wilderness of "Why Me?" while others will refuse to live and failure and will take action. Can one small book or CD make such a change? Quite simply, yes. Yes it can and yes it will. The atom is tiny, but look at its power.

But first we have to look up from the bottom and accept the lifeline held out to us. Through this book who is the strong hand waiting to take ours. Who will take it?

If you've known failure, and you're asking Why Me, then The Daily Code's for You. This is the What's Next that you need.
