Drained
Stories of People Who Wanted More
Johann Christoph Arnold
Gerald had an affair. And an illegitimate child. He carried these
secrets for decades, doing his best to blot them from memory. He
failed–but he achieved something far greater…
Ann finally had everything she ever wanted: a loving spouse, a home
to call her own, financial security, beautiful kids. Everything,
that is, except happiness. She couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
Until she stopped trying to outrun the ghosts of her abused childhood…
Mick and Bridie’s only son was gunned down in Northern Ireland,
and they wanted blood. So they tried suicide. But something stopped
them…
Ashley worked the runways of Paris and Milan, modelling for the
likes of Giorgio Armani. Drugged up and sexed out, he flirted with
despair. Then a friend offered him a book that changed the course
of his life forever…
In Drained, Arnold tells their stories and those of many others
who overcame their greatest obstacles. He builds his book on the
premise that the longing for peace lies deep within every person.
Drained makes no attempt to present a cure-all for life’s problems,
but for those ready to go beyond quick-fix “remedies,” it offers
stepping stones to a fulfilled life.
This book is available in India here.

struggling to find fulfillment.
A reader
A fast-paced page-turner – about slowing down and living! Arnold
shows that, in the most fundamental sense, we’re all the same: everyone
wants peace. Drained made me reevaluate the course I had been charting,
and forced me to ask difficult but rewarding questions of myself.
