COR Values is a true and evocative story that captures the intricate dynamics of faith, family, and personal convictions. At the heart of this narrative is a pastor, deeply rooted in his beliefs about sin and salvation, who faces a profound dilemma when his wife's sister marries someone whom he considers a sinner. This situation challenges the core of his teachings, which advocate for separation from sinners to maintain spiritual purity.

The story takes a compelling turn as the pastor, in his commitment to familial unity, reluctantly promises to make peace with this new family member. The real twist, however, comes when the pastor unexpectedly develops a deep and authentic bond with his new brother-in-law, the very person he had labeled as a sinner. This unexpected relationship not only brings to light the pastor's internal struggles but also highlights the complexities and contradictions of his long-held beliefs.

COR Values delves into the tension between doctrinal rigidity and the realities of human relationships. It presents a nuanced look at how life's encounters can challenge and reshape our perspectives, compelling us to reconcile our professed values with our real-life experiences and underscoring the repercussions of ignoring life's imperative calls for change. This book is a powerful read for anyone interested in the journey of self-reflection and the challenge of confronting one's own prejudices. It uncovers the beauty of forming significant connections in the most unexpected places and the profound, both personal and communal, repercussions of turning away from life's prompts to evolve from our misjudgments. It's a story about the transformative power of acceptance ant he unpredictable nature of life that can lead us to question and, ultimately, deepen our understanding of our core values.

Daniel Mazur is a lifelong entrepreneur who is now the COO of Computer IT Solutions, based in Florida. Born and raised in a strict religious household, he eventually stepped out from under the oppressive shadow of his father, who pastored their small evangelical church. After suffering a mental breakdown as a young man, Daniel managed to rebuild his life outside of his family of origin and the faith in which he was raised. His subsequent attempts to reunite with his family, who remain mired in within the fold of his father's church, have been fraught with heartache and despair, but he continues to strive to connect with them on a human level. This book recounts the story of Daniel's reconversion from religion and his transformation into a more life-affirming approach to existence.
