David Burdick's tumultuous quest for the spiritual began with family séances, psychic readings, ghostly apparitions, and the summoning of familiar spirits. Although his mother was a devout Catholic who dutifully took her children to church every Sunday, she was innocently naive in matters of spiritual discernment and lacked a complete understanding of scripture. David's father was a practicing agnostic who went to church only on Christmas to please his mother. He unknowingly carried with him his own religious baggage, personal demons, and a multi-generational curse that David would eventually inherit.
Blair's Gap: Silencing a Multi-Generational Curse is the triumphant story of David's search to find the universal truth of God, to replace embedded fear and bondage with Christ's love and salvation. This is his story to conquer the temptations of this world and end a family curse. "Blair's Gap" does not refer to a specific location as much as a personal point of awareness that demands life-changing decisions with eternal consequences. Through David's story, readers will experience God's overcoming grace and mercy and begin to understand their own spiritual journey that only comes through the truth of Scripture.
We are each born with a God-shaped void that we instinctively try to fill with whatever we can find. As David Burdick's shows us through his own personal journey in Blair's Gap, nothing can fill this void except God through Christ. We must stop to define the void before we can seek to fill it. Blair's Gap is intended to help the reader to define, recognize, and fill their God-shaped void.
