Synopsis

Read by the author.It doesn't matter who you are or what you've done--God wants you. It's time to throw off everything that hinders and pursue what truly matters: life with Jesus.Growing up the son of a preacher--a traveling evangelist who was an upright man behind the pulpit and a violent husband at home--Stephen McWhirter wanted nothing to do with Christianity. This darkness led to eleven years of rebellion, addiction, and brokenness. He sought escape through anything the world could offer: drugs, alcohol, theft, pornography, entertainment. He carried so much pain that he cussed people out if they even mentioned Jesus's name.But late one night, as Stephen sat in bed reading a Christian book with drugs on the table next to him, God got hold of his heart. As he read, Stephen was acutely aware of the presence of God. The Lord impressed upon Stephen that he was real, he was good, and he had a purpose for Stephen's life.In Radically Restored, Stephen shares how his family trauma and self-inflicted pain gave way to finding a place of purpose and mission as a son of God, first and foremost, and then as a worship leader who now shares Jesus with the world. His testimony and encouragement will help you:Find effective ways to confront and heal from past trauma and brokennessUnderstand just how far God will go to save youTruly understand the power of God's forgivenessLearn to see yourself as a true son or daughter of GodExperience what it means to be fully alive Finding God in the messiness of life is just the start. Accepting who you are and what God has made you for is your purpose. See through Stephen's journey that miracles still happen; peace is possible; and no matter what, God loves you, and he is for you.Resources can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.
