Surviving Minecraft helped me through my alcoholism. I was struggling and my friends and family could see that. I had nothing left except for the empty shell of skin that I called my body. I was in utter disrepair and I wasn’t myself at all. It wasn’t until Christmas of 2016 that I received this ebook as a gift from my father. As i opened it up on my phone I took awhile to stare at the cover and truly try to prepare myself for the journey ahead. My father said that the book was life-changing, so I had no idea what to expect. To my surprise, after only reading the first two pages I broke down in tears. This book spoke to me like no other and I began to see life differently as I was reading. The days began to seem brighter, I was back to being myself once again and my family could see that, I had the willingness to give life another try and really give it my all to turn myself around and get on the right path. Surviving Minecraft was the main reason I found and accepted God into my life. I truly was saved. After reading I put the book down and took a few moments to reflect and think about my life, what it used to be, and where I wanted it to be. Because of Surviving Minecraft, I’m now 3 years sober and I couldn’t be happier with where I’m going. No other book has the emotional impact like this one does, and no other book could even compare to the moving imagery and themes present here. Joel Cisneros is a virtuoso of the writing world and his work is one to behold among those who enjoy really impactful, unforgettable literature.
