Something Shifted is a nonfiction, inspiring Christian book that acts as a tapestry of different threads brilliantly woven together: first, the thread of author and doctor Peter Osterbauer's life, which went from frequenting strip clubs, to joining an occult order, to having a drinking problem, having an affair, to attempting suicide, all while masking his inner struggles with a successful career in neurology. The second thread is the thread of teaching, from the author's own experience, what it means to shift-that is, crossing that line consciously, going from "maybe" to "yes." This book will teach readers what it means to be forgiven, what it means to be redeemed, what it means to become a new creation in Christ, and learn to shift from shame to grace.
