Only God can turn a mess into a masterpiece – a memoir of hope and resilience. Settle in and get ready for a powerful personal account of how one man overcame his past by letting go and letting God in. Starting in childhood, he shows us how his past shaped, formed, and ultimately betrayed him, leading him down the dark roads of abuse, addiction, and violence as well as despair and loneliness. But when he reveals how he encountered the love and grace of God—who transformed him into a new creation and gave him a purpose and a passion—you’ll find yourself reveling in His grace and glory. This personal story is also a message of hope and encouragement for anyone hurting or struggling. The author uses humor, honesty, and faith to show that no matter what you have been through, God will heal you and use you for His glory. This first part of a three-part series memoir is a witness of God’s amazing grace and power, and an invitation to receive His love and salvation.
