Nothing Is Wasted

A True Story of Hope, Forgiveness, and Finding Purpose in Pain

De: Davey Blackburn

Narrado por: Davey Blackburn

Nothing Is Wasted is a story for anyone who has encountered trauma, tragedy, or a major transition and wondered, how do I begin to move forward through what I've experienced?

Where is God in the midst of your greatest pain?

Davey Blackburn wrestled with that age-old question in the aftermath of the murder of his beloved wife, Amanda, and their unborn daughter. As the high-profile case slowly meandered its way toward legal justice, Davey embarked on the wrenching task of finding strength to restore his shattered soul and the broken pieces of his life.

At turns horrific yet hope-filled, heartbreaking yet faith-affirming, Nothing Is Wasted is Blackburn’s disarmingly raw account not only of the shocking tragedy that forever changed his life, but of his late wife’s inspiring trust in the God who welcomed her into His loving arms.

The trauma he endured could have made anyone try to escape from the agony, yet by grace Blackburn chose to face the pain head-on and cling to his Savior to guide him through the storm.

As the riveting story of one man’s journey through the valley of suffering unfolds, listeners will join Blackburn in discovering:

• the surprising ways that hope and joy can arise in the midst of any trial or sorrow.
• the tension in accepting that “Why?” may never become clear this side of eternity.
• how a good Father is faithful to draw near to the brokenhearted.
• how forgiveness is the key to finding freedom in even the most unimaginable of offenses.
• where to discover purpose in the deepest pain.
• how a breathtaking moment at the altar symbolized love’s triumph over death.
• . . . and much more.

Most of us will never endure the depth of heartache that Blackburn has walked through, and yet his message is for us all: that even in the greatest losses and most complex tragedies, God is inviting us on a path towards redemption and healing, hope and faith, where we can begin to see that nothing is wasted.

couldn't stop listening

I loved hearing about their amazing love and dedication to God and to each other.

An absolute must read!

I wouldn’t consider myself to be someone who has gone through much pain in my life, but I have followed Davey and Amanda’s story since Amanda passed. I also had the opportunity to hear Amanda’s mom and sister speak a year later. What I have learned from them is how God prepares us for seasons of pain. Listening to the Nothing is Wasted Podcast and now reading this book has helped me through for trauma and, I believe, preparing for future pain that will inevitably come.

Beautiful story of God’s redemption! Not just a book but a whole new world of ministry!

The story of a young pastor finding his beautiful, young, pregnant wife murdered one morning as he returned from the gym. As a counselor, I was captivated from beginning to end. I wanted to hear how on Earth anyone could survive a tragedy of this magnitude. Of course the answer is God’s amazing love and care. Not only is God healing Davey, He is also healing countless others through the growing ministries spawned from this tragedy.Loved hearing him read it himself! What a testament to God’s healing power!

the details

great book …. filled with all the emotions that you could possibly imagine. The authors, words, color, the pages, and when he had his sister-in-law, read the journal I found myself with puddles.

Hope filled Redemption

The vulnerability and honesty that Davey showed in telling his story. What a wonderful tribute to the grace of God in terrible circumstances. Davey shows us the way to live a life surrendered to God

You will want to read this multiple times.

What an incredible story. So much solid biblical theology is poured out in this book. I was in tears and glorifying God the whole way through it. When I finally got to the end, I wanted to start over again. Praise God for his faithfulness and walking with us every step of the way.

So real and yet so supernatural! Well written tale of forgiveness!

All of it was wonderful! The emotional roller coaster was a remarkable story of redemption for so many!!

Amazing Story

Spoke at my church. Made me want more of his story and through him, Gods story and potential.

Offers Hope in Suffering

This book helped me remember that although I lost my husband, our story and God’s message did not end there. There is still purpose left for us until we join him in Heaven.

Davie’s narration makes his story, and Amanda’s story, come to life. I finished the book feeling grateful for each of their lives and for Davie’s obedience to keep moving forward. This story is an encouragement to me to keep my eyes on Jesus, believing there is hope for joy and purpose again.

I liked the honesty didn’t like the pain it caused as I remembered my personal loss
