WHEN AND HOW IT ALL BEGAN
It was Friday, May 16, and I was hard at work. Of course, coming from a long line of workaholics, that’s just the way I’m wired. Being in the restaurant business, I had an endless source of tasks to supply my addiction to work. As the operations manager of five restaurants, I was conditioned to handle pressure and successfully endured more than my share of stress. However, I enjoyed my job and felt I was maintaining an acceptable balance. People knew me as organized, competent, and for staying calm through various crisis. I was always totally involved in my work, but, unlike a lot of people, when it was time to quit, I could enjoy my free time with little lingering luggage from my job. Basically, what I am saying is that, for the most part, I fell in control of my emotions, my responses, and the general circumstances of life.
AN EMERGENCY TRIP TO SEE THE DOCTOR
“Oh my!” She blurted as her eyes widened. Well, she didn’t have to tell me. To this day, I swear I could see the mercury spurting out of the top of the gauge like you see on those old cartoons. I can’t remember the exact reading, but it must have been in the region of 195/? Whatever it was, I could tell from her reaction that the reading wasn’t pretty. My heart was racing and the only thought I could muster was, “We’ve got problems!”

How do I explain what I’m going through? Will anybody understand? This book takes a logical approach to help you understand what few can explain. Brian Ludwig was a typical businessman who truly demanded success. He was driven by logic, obsessed with order, and only truly comfortable when firmly in control. For 10 years, he was overcome by debilitating panic attacks and anxiety disorder that completely turned his life upside down. Through his relentless nature, he was determined to not let his life be taken hostage. Brian sought to understand how the mind works and gathered invaluable information by observing and counseling others overwhelmed by panic and anxiety. He discovered some common denominators that spur on panic and anxiety attacks. In Journey 1, he, shares his straightforward approach that set him and many others free. Meanwhile, he could not drown out the constant desire to unravel the truth about God. So, how does a man driven by logic and control learn to understand a God who appears illogical to the world and is only fully embraced through yielding? In Journey 2, follow Brian through his determination to overcome spiritual confusion. As he yielded to know God, spiritual truths were unraveled that actually helped pave the way for him to obtain his freedom from panic disorder and, in the process, truly know the ways of God. God empowered Brian to experience the miraculous and took him to a place where the illogical actually became logical. Discover how his journey to obtain freedom from panic disorder merges with his quest to understand the nature of God. Together they make a compelling story, but more importantly, they offer the reader a road to success for the same struggles that so many face. I had lost all hope and seriously questioned if I could be happy again. I feel I was called to write this book to share the victory I received through God’s amazing power and love. Join me in a life-changing journey of mental freedom and spiritual awareness. Brian Ludwig
