Alvin Slaughter, a worship leader and music artist who first came to prominence as a vocalist for The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, brings a message of encouragement to the weary in Reinvent Your Life: How to Turn Your Life Around, Rediscover the Fire of Your Faith and Get Your Power Back (978-1-599-79608-6, $12.99), releasing April 6 from Charisma House, an imprint of Strang Book Group.

Slaughter has noticed a persistent discouragement in the body of Christ and relates lessons from his own struggles with fear, depression, financial failure and marital strife. Chapters include "Discovering Your Life's Passion," "Facing the Music," "Confronting Failure Myths," and "Next-Level Belief."

"When I experienced despair in life's journey, I felt paralyzed emotionally and spiritually to the point that, even though I sort of knew what I needed to do to make things better, I just didn't have the heart. I didn't have the faith, the fire in my soul to do anything about it," Slaughter writes in the book's introduction.

To combat his problems, Slaughter said he had to face his personal issues and embrace the truth of God's Word, which helped him and his wife "reinvent" their lives, a challenge he issues to those struggling with similar issues.

Slaughter points out that believers can receive power from God to help them through their problems, but they must also work hard to reshape their lives.

"Let God help you to reinvent your life," he writes. "You must take biblical steps to get refreshed, get focused, and let your mind be transformed. And keep at it. There is no substitute for perseverance in your walk with God."

To promote Reinvent Your Life, Slaughter is scheduled to appear on television programs such as TBN's Praise the Lord and It's Supernatural!, as well as radio interviews, book signings and speaking engagements. A digital media campaign will also be implemented, including podcasts, an online journal from the author and social media.
