What happens when the pain you've buried becomes the very path to your purpose?
Thomas Gruber's life was marked by trauma, addiction, and near-death encounters-but this is not a story of defeat. It's a raw, unflinching testimony of a man who faced the darkest corners of abuse, betrayal, and self-destruction... and lived to tell the tale.
From surviving a gun held to his head by his own stepbrother to battling cocaine addiction that nearly stole his soul, Thomas invites readers into the depths of his brokenness-and the miracle that changed everything. In a parked car by a quiet river, God met him. Instantly. Irrevocably. And the fall became a rise.
This book is not sanitized. It's not safe. It's sacred.
A Call to Rise is for the wounded, the wandering, and the weary. It's for anyone who's ever wondered if God still shows up in the wreckage. With brutal honesty and unwavering hope, Thomas shows that scars don't disqualify you-they commission you.
You haven't gone too far. You're not too broken. This is your call to rise.
