Book Synopsis
This raw and powerful story is for anyone who has felt unworthy, who has hit rock bottom, who has been hurt by the church, or who has felt like an outcast. From drug dealer to pastor on a mission to bring church "to the wild," Michael Beck invites you into a journey of healing where all are met with compassion and where transformation happens as we make space for each other's wounds. Discover how God can bring forth beauty from ashes by getting down in the gray soot of our wounds to paint our lives beautiful again.
Review Quotes
"Michael Beck's to-hell-and-back conversion story conveys what it means to be the church even better than some of the highest moments of Christian literature." - Leonard Sweet
"A powerfully-written life story that's both heart-rending and awe-inspiring." - Sue Nilson Kibbey
"This was like reading a Henri Nouwen book - if Henri Nouwen was an alcoholic with a drug addiction and had a criminal record. Michael invites us to see how Jesus can make all things new. This is beautiful work." - Michael Frost
"Genuinely poignant, intelligent, and meaningful. Captivating!" - Alan Hirsch
"You hold in your hands a powerful description of God's redemption in the life of a man with first-hand experience of the healing power of Jesus Christ." - Joseph Okello
