ESCAPED How to Break Free From What’s Trying to Keep You Down Professor Andrew Moses Dickson, PhD What if the words spoken against you were never a prophecy about your future? What if the place you came from does not have the authority to determine where you will finish? What if the season that nearly broke you was preparing you for the life you were called to build? In **ESCAPE**, Professor Andrew Moses Dickson tells a deeply personal story of rejection, poverty, depression, survival, faith, calling, and transformation. From growing up in Dekina, Kogi State, to being told as a young boy, *“You will never succeed. You will never amount to nothing,”* his journey is a powerful testimony of what can happen when a person refuses to allow another person's verdict to become their destiny. The book takes the reader through four defining journeys: **escaping other people's verdicts, escaping depression and the mind's prison, escaping death, and making the climb from survival to purpose.** With honesty and vulnerability, Professor Moses shares experiences of childhood hardship, seasons of lack, the silent weight of depression, the struggle with voices from the past, two encounters with death, his calling into ministry, and the seemingly insignificant beginnings from which a larger vision was built. But **ESCAPE** is more than a testimony. Each chapter transforms experience into a practical principle, followed by exercises and prayer designed to help the reader confront their own limitations, wounds, fears, and unanswered questions. This book is for the person who has been rejected. For the person who has been told they will never become anything. For the person struggling silently on the inside. For the person who has survived something they cannot explain. For the person standing before a closed door and wondering whether another one will ever open. ESCAPE is an invitation to stop living under the authority of old verdicts and start walking toward the future God has placed before you.** Your beginning is not your destination. Your pain is not your identity. Your survival is not the end of your story. Escape is possible.
