Million Dollar Man

A wrongfully accused man whose dedication of spirit has been a source of inspiration and encouragement to prisoners and others whose lives have been shattered.

Dr. Brown, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for more than twenty-five years, candidly shares his gripping and often turbulent life story. In 1995, he was violently arrested and incarcerated on two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon. This began a maelstrom of pain and horror. Being in jail is a frightening and bewildering experience, yet, supported by his faith, he established beneficial relationships with inmates that have lasted to this day. From that point on, it is a story delineating the attempts of his wife and her lover to destroy him through the court system.

Through professional psychotherapy and a brutally honest self-examination, Dr. Brown is now able to assess his own complicity in his troubles and to heal from the wounds of his emotionally impoverished childhood. Powerful insights are revealed that only the dark night of the soul could have delivered. This book will prove helpful to others in their own healing and recovery processes from past traumas and emotional wounds.

“Is life fair? Is there true justice? Is there a reason for all the pain and turmoil we endure? Experience the ride as Dr. Brown holds you captive when he unfolds his 7-year saga of betrayal, vengeance, perseverance, forgiveness and redemption. See how God took what seemed bad and used it to touch and change many lives. This is real life stuff for all of us!”
—James Little, Attorney-at-law

“Million Dollar Man is a true story about a man I have known for almost 30 years as a professional therapist, a family man and friend. Jared’s story will capture your attention and heart as you get to know the people he encountered through extremely painful and difficult times. He uses his over twenty years of professional counseling experiences to share with the reader his insights into what ‘harsh timers’ do to flourish, not just survive in tough times. As Brown points out, ‘Half the battle is to believe in yourself and God and the other half is to believe in justice.’ This book is a quick and easy read, but you will probably read it more than once.”
