From Broken to Blessed: A Prodigal Life

“This book is not about ordinary me at all. It’s about living an extraordinary adventure and a blessed life because I HAVE AN EXTRAORDINARY GOD.”

We don’t have to look far to see that despair abounds regardless of our career or residence. But why such despair? Life is messy. Being real is tough. Holding on to the promises of God seems impossible. The wise King Solomon once wrote, “God put eternity in man’s hearts,” meaning God places a longing for significance and purpose in each one of us so that we seek him and understand our purpose.

Unfortunately, the various empty ways we seek to find and settle eternity in our hearts are what cause peace to elude us and eventually lead us to despair.

From Broken to Blessed is one man’s journey and the lessons learned along the way—through the mine􀃫eld of addiction, issues with intimacy, and financial debt, to a glimpse of blessings, and then seeing mountains move. Paul LeCompte was struck by the words of Jesus, “Now go and tell others about the great things God has done,” which echoed in his heart and his mind until he applied it to his own life. Paul’s struggles, and eventual blessings, helped him grasp the power of purpose and the lessons learned to go, show, and tell others the great things God has done.

From Broken to Blessed provides the reader hope and a process to simplify the search for purpose, no matter where they are and regardless of their external circumstances, or what is going on in the world. e story takes us to the Word of God regarding faith, stewardship, prayer, mentoring, and accountability to experiencing the peace that transcends all understanding.

ENDORSEMENTS
Sharing the great things God has done in our lives is needed in our world today, more than ever. This book reminds us to trust God always, no matter what. Even if all is lost and our circumstances do not make sense, which happened many times throughout Paul’s story. God may treat all of us differently, yet we still need to trust that He knows best for our lives. He gives the burden of riches to some, while others may only scrape by. But the message is clear in From Broken to Blessed, God blesses each one of us and loves us all.

Paul’s story is a beautiful testimony to God’s transformative power in the life of one man and the impact that follows on to others when one person desires to be like Jesus. You will be encouraged and challenged to discover the life that is truly life.
