By Davey Blackburn
WHO: Davey Blackburn, author and speaker.
HE SAYS: “At every turn of the page you’ll find that pain and suffering is an inseparable and inescapable part of this life. And yet you’ll also find he’s right there inviting you into a redemption story.”
THE BIG IDEA: This true story helps readers see that even in the midst of the greatest losses, God is inviting us on a path toward redemption and healing, hope and faith.
THE PROGRESSION: In five parts divided into 22 chapters, the author takes readers on a personal and raw journey as he recounts dealing with the aftermath of the murder of his pregnant wife, and what he learned about trauma and tragedy as well as God’s goodness and faithfulness.
“Often we look at our tragedy and pain as an interruption to our story, but God sees it as something else, an invitation into a greater story—his story.”
