Dishonor

One Soldier's Journey from Desertion to Redemption

De: David Mike

Narrado por: Caleb Steele

Sometimes you have to be locked up to find true freedom. David Mike swore allegiance to his country in 1987, only to be dishonorably discharged for desertion. One bad choice after another landed him at Fort Leavenworth, a notorious military prison in Kansas, where he starts a new life as an inmate.

Follow his journey as he claws his way toward Christ and away from the past that yearns to destroy him. Dishonor: One Soldier’s Journey from Desertion to Redemption is a vulnerable and compelling look at a life gone wrong.

With stark honesty, David gives insights into prison life and the shame that comes with living a dishonorable life. Through his raw, gritty, personal account, he pleads for you to find the same redemption he found in his life.

A Beautiful Story of Redemption

Unbroken is the telling of a beautiful story of redemption! Grateful David Mike wrote this memoir of his experiences for others to be witnesses of the goodness of God!

Unvarnished story of addiction and redemption

If you ever wondered how we bury ourselves with bad decisions, this book details how tough it is to make good decisions when life hits you hard and addiction arrives on the scene. This is also an amazing true tale of how God is always present to us and invites us in the most unusual and difficult circumstances... His love never quits, sometimes, OK most of the time, we just don't believe that. David Mike, thank you for sharing your journey, for being a great writer and inspiring myself, and no doubt, SO many others!! Highly recommend!

Never give up.

David Mike shares his raw true story in Dishonor. This story takes the reader along with David through the highs and lows of his life. It provides a glimpse into a dark world often sensationalized and rarely portrayed accurately. The story shows it is less important where you start and more important how you choose to finish. It is proof of the importance of never giving up on anyone, even yourself, when bad choices and consequences catch up. Being a military veteran myself, I am glad David wrote this book to share his deeply personal journey. Dishonor shows that no matter what you have been through, what you are going through, or what you will go through - there is HOPE.

He had so much tenacity!

What a story! Well worth reading! It's the kind of story that you cant put down once you start listening! I couldnt finish it quick enough ... couldnt wait to hear how it turned out. And Thank God it turned out well. Many aspects of his story seemed to include a few miracles as he started to come up from his bottom. Thank you for sharing such a riveting story with us.

A brilliant story about God’s crazy love for the hopeless!

As a military chaplain, I wish for all of my Soldiers and our service-members to read this amazing life-story of a man who made mistakes while serving in the Army and, yet, whom God showed how much he was and is loved. David Mike inspires us all with a fascinating journey which culminates with the best outcome that only God can bring out.

Crying in a South American subway cart

I listened to this book while vacationing in Brazil with my family! While commuting to and from places on the subway I would listen to this book!

I caught myself crying several times while listening! You can see God chasing after David in every chapter! No doubt David made some bad decisions in his life but that doesn’t change God’s love for him!!

And that’s the same for all of us!

This book is a such a great reminder that no matter what we have done in our lives, God is always willing to take us back into his family! It doesn’t mean our choices have earthly consequences but ultimately what matters most is that if we allow God to change our hearts, we will experience the eternal love of God!

Thank you David for writing this book!

Inspiring Story, Excellent Read and Listen

David’s story is a true example of the redemption that can be found with Christ. I thought that the narrator did an exceptional job telling David’s story. If you’re looking for hope or just looking for a great read/listen, this is the book for you.

God’s redemptive plan

As a fellow participant in Jon Acuff's "30 Days of Hustle" over a decade ago, I had the privilege of meeting David Mike during the early development of this book's concepts. The narrative of redemption here is profound: while Satan intended to ruin his life, God had a different plan. This story is incredibly powerful —a must-read!

So appreciative of this story

I appreciate that Mike shared all of the details in the book. My son recently completed a sentence and is getting back on his feet. His perspective seems changed and for as much as I have leaned on the hope that a good life is out there for him, there are been some dark times keeping the hope alive.

The details of Mike’s story and the conversations I’ve been able to have with my son not blocked by the “do you accept this call” message have awaken the believe in life for my beloved son.

In this experience, I am reminded of what God’s perspective must be for each of his children.

An AMAZING story that comes from the heart.

When I first met David on line I had no idea why he would want me to read his blog.
After weeks and weeks of reading it I found myself in it! What an honor!
I then got to met David at a conference and he’s an incredible friend!
Thank you for writing your story about your life and your transformation.
