Rebel to Your Will

A Story of Abuse, Father Hunger and Gospel Hope

De: Sean DeMars

Narrado por: Thomas Terry

“Hurt people hurt people. But those who have been called by grace become new creations.”

Emotional and raw, Sean DeMars tells his story of a life turned around. It is a tale of two families: one scarred by brokenness, another renewed by grace. In his storytelling, the tragedy and horror of his early years are punctuated with the beauty of restoration evident in the life he now leads. Abandoned by a father and abused by a mother, his search for a father finds a home with the King of heaven who graces him with love and sonship.

Follow his journey through abuse, drugs and prison, across the battlefield and mission field and into marriage, family and ministry in this personal, engaging and honest testament to God’s grace. As his life and his church are turned around, their stories become a platform to display how God chooses the nothings of the world. His story is the story of every sinner saved by grace: once a victim and rebel, now redeemed and reconciled.

Best book I've ever read/listened to.

Sean's story parallels mine in many ways. His story wrecked me at first and then reminded me of the incredible saving grace of God.

Astounding story of God’s grace

Read this in one setting and was left in awe of how God saves from the depths of suffering.

Great testimony of God's power

Sean does a great job reading and writing. Learned about this from his podcast, Room for Nuance. Go listen to that too!

All I have is Christ

What an amazing story. It was hard and heartbreaking to listen to at certain points. Sean showed a stark contrast through out the book between Sean then and Sean. I waited with anticipation for the moment that Sean made Christ Lord of his life. I appreciated that even after that Sean doesn't paint himself or his life as perfect. It's not perfect just changed and full of grace.

I had hoped Sean would narrate but understand that that might be difficult. The narrator did a good job. There were 2 to 3 hiccups that I caught including a whole paragraph that was repeated but nothing to distract from the story or message.

I am sure this was a hard book to pen but sharing how Jesus saved us from this world is so important. I am glad that we have this testimony we can refer to now. You aren't nothing Sean!
