Ever wonder if you’ve had one too many stumbles for God to use someone like you?

God Never Gives Up on You is a book for the members of the Lost Halo Society. For the strugglers among us and the fumbler within us. For those of us who are part saint, part scoundrel.

We need to close the gap between sacred and secular, and that’s what this book aims to help us do.
