About the Author
John James is the cofounder and original lead singer of the world-re-nowned Christian band Newsboys.
From small-town Australia to sold-out arenas across the globe, John spent years in the spotlight living what many would call a dream. But behind the stage lights, he fought a much darker battle. At the height of his success, his addiction, pride, and brokenness nearly cost him everything: his family, his faith, and even his life. When it all came crashing down, John was left with nothing but pain--and a desperate need for God's grace. What followed was not instant or easy, but it was real. Through surrender, healing, and the love of Christ, John began a journey of restoration--a journey that continues to this day.
Now a devoted husband, father, evangelist, and author, John shares his story to help others see that no matter how far you've fallen, you're never beyond the reach of God's mercy.
Together with his wife, Tanya, he speaks across the US and abroad at churches, prisons, military bases, schools, and recovery cen-ters--bringing a message of hope, healing, and second chances.
