Through this candid look at his personal life, respected author Steve Arterburn shares how the world's promise of power, pleasure, and possessions seduced him from the straight and narrow. His story is one of God's redemptive grace in the midst of the emptiness and despair that the world brings. Steve's turning point came when he made the life-changing realization that only God could satisfy the longings of his heart and restore what he had destroyed. Through his story, readers will learn from one who's been there and will encounter the God of second chances. Formerly published as Surprised by God in hardcover.
