Examining stories of broken trust, betrayal, and triumph, Vanzant explains that there are four essential trusts necessary for survival. Trust yourself because you are worthy of your own time, energy, attention, and love. You are a demonstration of and representative of the presence of the Creator in the world. Trust in God because it is your sole purpose for being on the planet. Trust in God because when you cannot do it -- whatever it is -- for yourself, God can do it through you and for you. Trust in others because you need people to facilitate and support your mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. Trust the process of life because it is an incredible journey of wonder, adventure, and evolution that you can experience only in direct proportion to your willingness to trust it.
