Rescue Story

Faith, Freedom, and Finding My Way Home

De: Zach Williams, Robert Noland - contributor

Narrado por: Zach Williams, Crystal Williams

From a hard-rocking life fueled by substance abuse to a hope-filled life of freedom and joy—this is music star Zach Williams's bold and vulnerable story of faith and redemption.

Before two-time GRAMMY Award winner Zach Williams penned heartfelt, faith-filled ballads like "Chain Breaker," "There Was Jesus (featuring Dolly Parton)," and "Fear Is a Liar," there was darkness. A rock-and-roll singer who thought he had all he ever wanted to make him happy, Zach instead felt empty. The drugs, alcohol, and late-night gigs played around the world couldn't satisfy the longing in his heart for a place to belong. He was desperate for change.

It came while on tour in Spain with his band, and in this powerful and poignant memoir, Zach shares in vivid detail his personal Rescue Story. He reflects on his childhood and the prophecy that kept his parents from giving up hope, his descent into the substance abuse that held him captive for so long, and ultimately the rescue he didn't think was possible but embraced with open arms.

A compelling, honest story of God's unconditional love, grace, and redemption, Rescue Story shares the intimate journey of a beloved music artist and challenges you to seek resilient hope in the trials of your own life—because Jesus offers real freedom and joy, despite the mistakes of your past.

We are not alone in this journey, we can draw strength off others journey and give us hope for our own!

I loved the authenticity about this tough, inspiring hope restoring journey. It gives me strength to keep going! Thank You

Great Book

Zach and Crystal are friends of mine. I had a front row seat to their story. I remember I was in Navy boot camp when I got a letter from a friend that said, “Zach released a song and it’s number one… he’s famous now.” I had a hard time believing that, just like that, Zach blew up. I knew the dude was talented. I knew he looked the part. But people from Jonesboro, Arkansas don’t get famous. Man, was I wrong. By the time I finished serving out my initial time with the Navy and getting back home, Zach had a Grammy. His testimony, his story, is a true and authentic account of how God can take a person and use them mightily. I highly recommend this book for believers, people who struggle with substance abuse (or any addiction), or anyone who is just curious about Zach or the Gospel.

Great

Great story!!! Love to hear success stories. Starting from the bottom and seeing gods work

Amazing Book

This book is amazing! Zack tells his story with honesty. He has put his entire heart into this book. This book is an inspiration for everyone. His story about how God lead him to where he is today gave me chills in many parts of the book. I cried and laughed and felt God’s presence in the words.
