Up from the Ashes

De: Brandon Ash

Narrado por: Brandon Ash

Up From the Ashes is a raw, unapologetic memoir of suffering, surrender, and the relentless pursuit of God’s love.

From a childhood shattered by sexual abuse to a young adulthood consumed by chronic illness, addiction, shame, and heartbreak, Brandon was drowning beneath the weight of secrets no one knew he carried. Crohn’s disease devoured his body. Despair stalked him daily. Religion offered no real introduction to the Lord—only a study of Him—until God made the introduction Himself.

This is the story of what happens when the bottom falls out—and God shows up anyway.

Told with brutal honesty and unfiltered faith, Up From the Ashes traces a journey through trauma, family breakdown, loss, sexual confusion, betrayal, and the desperate chase for healing through success, psychology, and romance. Just as the pain threatens to destroy everything, Brandon hears a whisper that changes his life: “Give it all away.”

What follows is a testimony marked by supernatural encounters, gritty street evangelism in Chicago, prophetic dreams, and a season of surrender where God refuses to let him settle for anything less than full obedience.

Through hospital stays, failed relationships, and painful confessions, Brandon discovers the love of a Father who was never absent—and a Savior who refused to let go.

This is not a memoir about how to get better.

It’s a record of what it costs to truly die—and live again.

A testimony of God’s fierce pursuit.

A story of resurrection.

Whether you’re struggling with trauma, chronic illness, sin, or wondering if God even sees you, Up From the Ashes offers more than comfort. It offers Truth.

This book is for the hurting and the hopeful. The disillusioned and the desperate.

It’s for anyone who needs to know:

Jesus Christ still saves. Still speaks. Still resurrects.
