I received this book from the author for and honest review.I have read the original copy ‘Love seen from Hell’ in early 2012. It was one of my very first reviews in an official capacity. Just as then, I was impressed with author John Emil Augustine’s openness and directness as he gave us a glimpse into his life.An autobiography that touches the very heart of many failed marriages. Many men just do not talk about this subject, suffering in silence because they believe that nobody would believe them. That people would think they are failures just because they turn the other cheek, you know, not men. John, who has become a dear friend over the past year, destroys this myth, that men must be strong and endure…you know, man-up.His frankness touches the heart, as he discusses openly his own failures, the abuse he suffered, his reasons for leaving his wife, and in the event also his son. Becoming a stronger man, husband, father and friend, which I have the greatest respect for.Now the book is back under a new name and with the Publisher House, MasterKoda, and a very dear group to my own heart.It is a story of honesty, compassion, love, romance, loss, failure and victory. Questioning believes, coming to the root of all, as he went on this road of self-discovery. Telling his life-story with in an easy writing style, for all to understand. The words flowed easily, making it effortless to understand and he is very direct in his message.  He does not hide certain things to make him look better or gain sympathy, but gives all the gory detail, which lent to the authenticity of the book.
