Torn Apart / Restored

Torn Apart / Restored

Author - Pastor Darin Carroll and Teila Tankersley

The drama of their lives unfolds and just as they are preparing to finalize their divorce; Gloria has a change of heart. Her dilemma - her husband has become involved with a former girlfriend and it only gets worse from there; he is soon charged with murder. 

Is there any hope of restoring their marriage let alone their lives? In spite of some overwhelming obstacles Gloria places her faith in Christ and believes wholeheartedly that God is going to do a work in her husband’s heart. 

Through blind faith she seeks to win him back and along the way she builds a relationship with Christ that is inspiring. Friends and family can see no hope, yet God is busy orchestrating miracles in the midst of all this drama. 

This is a book you have to read to believe. 

If you liked Nicky Cruz’s book, “Cross and the Switchblade” or if you are a fan of the book, ”Fireproof” written by Eric Wilson, Alex Kendrick, and Stephen Kendrick - then you are going to love this! 

A book filled with suspense, drama and gang violence, but more importantly, it is interwoven with the quiet, gentle spirit of Christ himself. 

Just when you think there is no hope, Christ works a miracle and that is when the journey begins. Gloria and her husband Darin Carroll have an amazing testimony and they now pastor a church in Pueblo, Colorado called Victory Life Ministries. 

If you are in need of a miracle this is the book for you!

MAM_2006 (Marty Angelo) - Amazon.com Review:  "Torn Apart - Restored" --- EXCELLENT, March 25, 2011

I really enjoyed reading "Torn Apart - Restored" written by Darin and Gloria Carroll. Their story is one of true redemption and restoration and onwards and upwards of finding and following God's true plan and purpose for their lives. 

This is one of those books that I can not put down until I finish. It certainly is a page turner filled with learning just how powerful Jesus Christ really is once He gets a hold of our lives. He lives on the inside changing each believer into the person we all wanted to be but not knowing how to get there until we have a spiritual encounter with King Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. The Carrolls are perfect examples of God's grace, mercy and love. 

This book is a perfect tool to use to those of us who have un-saved friends and family. It is easy to read and understand and not bogged down with a lot of "religious" jargon. 

The Carrolls tell is like it is. Jesus is a waymaker and will make a way for anyone who will place their faith and trust in Him.
