When Shovels Break

When Shovels Break is a candid, raw and gritty true story about a Christian couple who falls away from the Lord and their faith, returning to the world of sin.  They lose everything in the process including any hope that God can or will ever forgive them. 

Hopelessness, shame, guilt and despair bring John to the brink of suicide.  Does God intervene?  Can John and his wife ever be forgiven?  Can they return to the Lord, His faith, and the church?

This true story is about falling away and the possibility of God's love, grace and incredible forgiveness!

This is a true story about John, a Christian man who is on the brink of suicide.  Struggles, discouragement, and disappointment in God caused John to leave his faith and the Lord's body, the church.

John went back into every form of sin imaginable: alcoholism, drug abuse, adultery, and pornography just like a dog returns to its vomit. John's shame and guilt, his failure to provide for his family, and the loss of all hope that God could ever forgive him brings John to a terrifying moment, holding a shotgun to his chin.  He starts to pull the trigger.

Can God forgive this wretch of a man?  Is it possible for John to be restored and to be able to return to Jesus Christ?  This raw, gritty, true story grabs the reader from beginning to end.  It is a story about the real life of a discouraged Christian, and it is a story of hope, love, and the redemption found through the grace of God!
