inside a circle of unintended consequences, and the more we try to free ourselves, the deeper we sink. Is there any way to redeem our story and restore our glory?

The drama played out in these pages wrestles with both sides of our story: the broken and the beautiful. While we are broken people, brokenness does not define us, for glory is the shape of our hearts. Fortunately, the way has been provided for us; if we follow our Maker, we will seize our heart's greatest longing: glory.

Through real-life stories of humor, warmth, and realism, the reader is invited to reimagine life and reach for something far beyond the daily grind as they find a way through the gates of life before time itself runs out and the story ends.

As we rediscover ourselves in this drama, everything will change. The purpose for which we were created comes to life, and we see that glory is not just something in the future. It is now. In fact, it is already bursting forth-if we can just let it in, something new will break through.
