UNFILTERED STORIES FROM 45 CHRISTIAN LEADERS – REAL PEOPLE. REAL STRUGGLES. A REAL GOD.
These are not polished success stories. They are honest accounts of pain, failure, and redemption and the wisdom that comes when we let God use our scars.
THIS BOOK IS COURAGEOUS
Forty-five men recall the moment they hit bottom—or realized they couldn’t do life on their own. Some of these candid stories are being told for the first time. Each one shares hard-earned wisdom forged in scars.
THIS BOOK IS A REAL-LIFE RECKONING
The 45 authors faced crossroads in surprising places: a football field, megachurch, ad agency, AA meeting, crash site, battlefield, university, drunk tank, church parking lot, maternity ward, suburban home.
Their 45 stories wrestle with masculinity, marital betrayal, embezzlement, getting fired, addictions of all kinds, demonic attack, death of a loved one, racial division, drug dealing, fatherhood, despair—and redemption.
THIS BOOK IS A CAUTIONARY TALE
Every chapter ends with a “Message to My Younger Self.” Forty-five life-changing lessons that speak powerfully to upcoming generations of men.
THIS BOOK IS A THANK YOU
Each story overflows with gratitude to a loving God who exposes our flaws, empowers us for work that matters, and redeems our lives.
THIS BOOK IS A GIFT
Forty-five leaders from the National Coalition of Ministries to Men spill their guts as a gift—to you, to your brothers in Christ, and any younger man in search of answers. Because the truth is simple. We’re all in this together.
