Synopsis

Includes a bonus track featuring Lecrae's song "Still"!When the challenges you've faced threaten to destroy your life, how do you find your way back to the truths you thought you believed?I Am Restored tells the untold story of how Lecrae's past nearly ruined his future--until he learned that the wounds we carry can have the potential to be unlikely guides to healing and freedom for ourselves and others. Throughout I Am Restored, Lecrae documents the shattering yet hopeful story of how he faced the scars of his past--sexual abuse, physical trauma, addiction, and depression--and emerged more fully human than ever before. With remarkable transparency and vulnerability, Lecrae reveals that at the height of his professional success, his life was spinning out of control, driven by a past that he had never confronted and a religious perspective that was incapable of meeting the challenge.I Am Restored takes an unflinching look at the personal and public spaces that are too often at the societal core of our pain and heartache--culture, politics, family, church, and more--and teaches us that forgiveness can be the birthplace of the life that God has created for us.Throughout this powerful, deeply personal account, Lecrae shares the life lessons he's learned about:Confronting the pain and trauma that has shaped your storyBreaking the cycle of sin and shame and embracing joy and authenticityFinding hope and healing in the midst of chaosThe simple practices that can change your mental, emotional, and spiritual healthLeading a life that's bursting with creativity and true freedomI Am Restored is a hopeful, inspiring charge to start your journey to lasting healing today. No matter what your past has held, God is near you, he hears you, and he's not done writing your story.

I’d like to start this out by saying that I hate rating memoirs! Rating someone’s life story just feels wrong. I read this book because I had noticed Lecrae’s movement away from Christian music and saw how he appeared to be falling out of relationship with God and into relationship with the secular w......more

Goodreads review by Marian on December 02, 2020

Wow! I've been following Lecrae for years, and after his last album, Restoration, came out, I knew I had to read the book too.

Our mindset becomes dominated by the pain of the moment we’re in. We......more

Goodreads review by Annie on January 03, 2022

Wow. If you’ve experienced church hurt, or hurt from Christianity in any way, this one’s for you.

Couldn’t p......more
