I Am Restored

How I Lost My Religion but Found My Faith

De: Lecrae, Tyler Burns

Narrado por: Lecrae

Includes a bonus track featuring Lecrae's song "Still"!

When the challenges you've faced threaten to destroy your life, how do you find your way back to the truths you thought you believed?

I Am Restored tells the untold story of how Lecrae's past nearly ruined his future—until he learned that the wounds we carry can have the potential to be unlikely guides to healing and freedom for ourselves and others.

Throughout I Am Restored, Lecrae documents the shattering yet hopeful story of how he faced the scars of his past—sexual abuse, physical trauma, addiction, and depression—and emerged more fully human than ever before. With remarkable transparency and vulnerability, Lecrae reveals that at the height of his professional success, his life was spinning out of control, driven by a past that he had never confronted and a religious perspective that was incapable of meeting the challenge.

I Am Restored takes an unflinching look at the personal and public spaces that are too often at the societal core of our pain and heartache—culture, politics, family, church, and more—and teaches us that forgiveness can be the birthplace of the life that God has created for us.

Throughout this powerful, deeply personal account, Lecrae shares the life lessons he's learned about:

• Confronting the pain and trauma that has shaped your story
• Breaking the cycle of sin and shame and embracing joy and authenticity
• Finding hope and healing in the midst of chaos
• The simple practices that can change your mental, emotional, and spiritual health
• Leading a life that's bursting with creativity and true freedom

I Am Restored is a hopeful, inspiring charge to start your journey to lasting healing today. No matter what your past has held, God is near you, he hears you, and he's not done writing your story.

How great thouart

Eye opening

So good! Good to hear someone talk about all of this stuff. Gives you a deep appreciation and better understanding for what people who are "famous " and well known go through. At the same time it makes you look at your own life regarding whether there are places God needs to move in and edit stuff our or in. Loved this book!

This was my sign

I found myself in so many parts of this story. over the time of listening to this book I found myself cry, laugh and shouting "that's so true." At the end off this book, all I could do is say, "Lord, restore me. Thank you for this sign that you are sti with me." I thank Lecrae for sharing and bring open and real. Man I really, really needed this.

Honest

Start to finish this book was super transparent and honest it was a great “read”

An amazing book

I was initially looking for a book to assist me with those overcoming depression and the darkness so I could help my daughter... and I found so much more. Deep content so relevant for all America ..especially Christians. I agree Jesus desires for us to continue to build His Kingdom..... which includes all races and and all people.... and we have so much to learn from each other. An amazing listen with an amazing narrator(makes all the difference) brings this man's thoughts and struggles to light as well as those of the African American culture.... it is worth the read!!! I will be recommending to many.

Speechless!

The transparency in this book is so raw and real. Healing from PTSD and generational strongholds and much more; strongholds catch up with you whether you deal with it right away or allow it manifests in your life in the future.

Worth the Read

I love Lecrae's honesty about his journey. I am definitely inspired, and I don't feel alone in my thoughts about my walk with God.

Cathartic ride

This is one of those books that you read and get all excited about sharing with everyone. I had to dig deep and re-address my own trauma as well as that of a few close loved ones. I learned authentic ways for us to be compassionate with one another, yet hold each other accountable to be who we are designed to be.

Honest, Real, enjoyed it

great book, great to have Lecrae narrate it! loved it. He was pretty real about his multifaceted journey... personal, theological, social, family, politics all playing their role, but at it's most basic it's about being honest with yourself and God and those around you.
