The second link is the Second edition which is apparently not available in Kindle. Neither is available as an Audible book. The image at left is the cover of the Second edition.

Recommended by Brian Mininger of Bear Creek Outdoor Living, the author’s husband.
Brian writes: “I have had a front row seat to the journey and practical steps that Victoria has taken to rise up from debilitating depression to leading our company. In this book she shares the story and the practical steps while challenging the reader to fight for themselves.”
From Google Books:
In Daring To Fight, Victoria Mininger shares her painful battle with clinical depression and lays out practical steps for how she fought her way from dark days of lying on the couch to re-engaging in life again.Shame tells those struggling with depression and anxiety they are not good enough. It tells them there is something fundamentally wrong. Well-meaning friends may even whisper that a lack of faith is the cause of these deep-rooted issues–adding another layer to the shame storm for believers. They are pointed to the Bible, left to memorize verses, pray more, and go to church more without any practical guidance for how to tie God’s Word to the day-to-day obstacles that come with these struggles.
In this eight-week guidebook, Victoria outlines what it takes to battle depression head-on with grit, grace, and faith from a strong foundation in God’s Word to intentional daily rhythms. So much more than a band-aid for the heart, Daring to Fight shows those struggling with depression and anxiety how to stand on their own two feet and once again fight for their healing and health.

From the Amazon description:
“(This book) presents the great spiritual and psychological truths in a simple manner, making them practical for daily use. You will read inspiring historical stories of those who dared all for Truth — and found wisdom and peace at last. “The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power” is Vernon Howard’s most popular book. This beautiful new 2005 edition belongs in the library of every serious spiritual student.”
I was so moved by “The Road Less Travelled” that when this book came out I had to read it.
This book contains, among other things, Dr. Peck’s model of spiritual growth which I reference in my book Rules Of The Spirit. That one thing makes this book a worthy read.
The model is Dr. Peck’s condensed version of theologian James Fowler’s “Stages of Faith” – a 7-stage model, and rather a difficult read; it’ll make your head hurt.
Since I reference Dr. Peck’s model frequently, the question often comes up – is one stage better than another. I liken the question to asking whether it’s better to be a 10 year old, or a 15 year old, or an adult. Is one better than the other? I would say no, they are just natural stages of growth. It is good to move along the growth curve, and I wouldn’t really want to go back, but it doesn’t seem appropriate to say that one is better than the other. Interestingly, “adult” applies, at least legally, to anyone 18 years of age or older, but I bet you’d agree that there is a vast difference between an 18-year-old and a 60-year-old. The mental, emotional, and spiritual growth doesn’t necessarily stop at 18.
The real benefit of the model is that with an understanding of the model, and being able to identify where another person fits into the model, it becomes possible to modify my own behavior to fit the other person. Since a Stage 2 Institutional finds peace in their “black and whiteness” it doesn’t help for me to speak in terms of technicolor – it just pushes them into fear, and the fear shuts down communication. One thing Ann and I have found is that people are where they need to be, spiritually. It doesn’t help to try to get someone to understand concepts they’re not ready for – when they’re ready they’ll seek it out. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. The inverse is true: when the teacher is ready, the student will appear.
This book presents the concept of the paradigm as a means of solving a problem. It explores the lifetime curve of a paradigm, how new paradigms come into play, and how to look for and benefit from new ideas that become the new paradigms. This can make the difference between a business that thrives, or one that becomes obsolete. For example, when was the last time you listened to an LP record? Many young people are not even aware of what an LP is. The recording industry has had two such disruptive shifts in paradigm in the last 40 years – from LP to CD, and then to fully electronic MP3. There are countless other examples.
The word Paradigm is used differently in the Bob Proctor context, where it is taken to mean a collection of habits that control our behavior. The habits may be ways of doing something, an idea, or simply a habit of thought. For example, I may have a habit of thought that “I am a bad person” or “I am unloveable.” Habitual thoughts that are… less than supportive… can sabotage my ability to thrive and achieve the things I want. Changing such habits can be life-changing!
