Up From The Ashes

Up From the Ashes

“I’m at a loss for words about this book. I started it and couldn’t stop. It only took me two days to read because I just couldn’t put it down.”

Delores

In this compelling page turning story of Up From the Ashes, we enter the seemingly perfect life of JP Morris, a successful New York doctor with a luxurious lifestyle. However, beneath the surface lies a man grappling with the shadows of loss and a wavering faith. A recurring dream at 3:16 a.m. becomes a turning point, pushing JP to reevaluate his priorities, reconnect with family, and rediscover his Christian roots. Yet, just as his life takes a positive turn, a shocking event during the birth of his first child catapults him into a downward spiral of sin and self-destruction. In this gripping tale, JP faces the ultimate choice: succumb to the flames of pain or embrace divine cleansing, redemption, and the opportunity for a new beginning. Will he remain lost, or will he rise up from the ashes?
