Lost. Church on the Rock. Wasilla, AK.

Sometimes things are lost because we are careless with them, never bothering to put them back where they belong. At other times, precious things are stolen, and no matter how hard you try and how tirelessly you search they are never to be found again. Still yet, there are times we chase a whisper of truth we’ve never held, knowing it’s out there somewhere. The hope of discovery, the promise of finding something worth the effort, keeps us on our journey of seeking, chasing, searching for something permanent and permanently ours.

Drugged and beaten, Caroline struggles to remain lucid enough to escape her captor. Deep in the core of her being, she knows there lies freedom; freedom from her captor, freedom from the drugs, freedom from herself. Can she reach it in time?

It’s an odd thing to watch a man die. War inflicts wounds so deep that young men come back jaded, tormented and alone. Daniel fought for his country. Now, he’s fighting for his own peace of mind. The nightmares won’t stop. The memories become his closest confidant. The Marines didn’t prepare him for the enemy within, the one without borders.

Alone in the back woods of Alaska, making meth for those eagerly waiting, Brad is paranoid but hopeful of the money soon to rain on his arid existence. His ears are filled with the pounding of his anxious heart. In a few short months, the beats will be matched by police officers’ fists on his front door. This is the drum beat, the cadence of his journey toward truth. Beats like footsteps inch closer to a peace he’s never known.

LOST. What if the one you’ve lost is you? What if you have no idea where to begin the search? Read the dynamic stories of heroes faced with the enormity of this journey; the stories of those who’ve FOUND what they’re looking for, what we’re all looking for. FREEDOM.

I can't wait to read all the stories in this book, the only one I know is my own and what an honor to be used of God in this way! This life has been an incredible journey with my lord who has been by my side evey step of the way! Many years ago I could have never imagined that my life had such purpose as this, but now I know that the story of my savior saving me is so worthy of being told in a really good book and I am so blessed for my journey, even the failures and trials and errors, because I see that God can turn something so traggic into something so beautiful!!!
Thank You GCP for honoring the authentisity of my story! And Church on the Rock, Wasilla Alaska for your committment to Fresh Start and all Gods Children!
