Summary
Details

From award-winning author James Bass comes a brutally honest memoir that rips the veil off a shattered life. Some lives are wrecked by chaos. Some are reforged by it.

He thought he was just surviving...

He was wrong.

Every heartbreak was a calculated strike. Every silence, a sacred breath. Every betrayal, every breakdown, every dark night was the hand of God, chiseling him from the wreckage of addiction, abuse, and madness into a warrior with purpose.

God doesn't just rescue you. He remakes you.

He doesn't just save you. He sends you.

Bass's journey is not just a memoir. It's a manifesto for the broken, a battle cry for the desperate, and a defiant shout against the darkness.

He was carried by a grandmother's unshakeable faith, lifted by a wife's unwavering love, and pursued by the relentless mercy of Jesus Christ.

If you've ever screamed into the void, begging for a sign... this is your answer.

If you've ever felt lost in the wreckage... this is your roadmap to redemption.

If you've ever wondered if God still moves... this is your proof.

He sees you. He's moving.

And He's not just fighting for you-He's fighting through you.

Rise from the ashes. Stand in your purpose. Reclaim your story.
