Doyl Tully thought he had the world on a string, orchestrating its every move, but in one stormy night, everything came crashing down. In the midst of hellish despair, Doyl whispered a simple cry for... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Prison is all it's cracked up to be: misery encased in concrete and razor wire. It's not only the physical pain from beatings and murders within those bleak walls. It's the raw psychological adrenaline that pumps through your heart and mind like a relentless pit bull intent on destroying your very soul. In Broken to Rise Doyl C. Tully dissects his life of what some might deem a petty crime and flays his sins like a snared catfish. He censors himself without political correctness and with candid humility. It is one man's story of how his selfish desires stripped him of everything and anything he deemed worthwhile: his home, his career, his family. It also demands an honest assessment of what God has given to every man and woman--the ability to choose his and her own way. It is when Mr. Tully chooses God that his life changes, not the consequences, however, but the path Mr. Tully takes which leads him to a life fulfilled by his Creator. The reader understands that without Christ in his life, he remains a prisoner within himself. From Doyl C. Tully's introduction, the reader is hooked, and throughout the pilgrimage is enthralled by discovering the answer to the question, "Where am I going?" Well written, Broken to Rise is an excellent read. Congratulations on your first book!

The author of Broken to Rise shows what God can do with one life whose past was guided by satan but through God's grace became completely dedicated to Him. I read it in one sitting; couldn't put it down. The author's persistent and utmost trust in God is inspiring. All things are possible with God!

This book is an easy read with a message that needs to be heard. Once you start reading you will have a hard time putting it down. The converstion of this couple from druggies to God fearing believers is amazing and shows how God can work in anyone's life who sincerely calls on Him in desperation. A good read which I highly recommend.

This true life testimony of Doyl Tully is one that can only encourage and strengthen ones walk in the Lord as they read each page of this highly gripping book. His extreme faith in the Lord was relentless as he and his wife faced countless attacks from the enemy. God's promises are for the Tully's just as they are for anyone else who will but trust in God in all things. This book would be an excellent resource for any church or family counselor to have on hand, given the out of control alcohol and drug use problems we have in our society today. Many lives could be changed if they would simply choose to do what Pastor Tully did. Choose God.
Profound and utterly captivating personal testimony

"Broken to Rise" is the most profound and utterly captivating personal testimony to the power of God that I have read in a long time. Pastor Tully's life testimony grabbed my heart from the beginning and didn't let go. Although I am a Christian myself, and have gone through trials, I found this book showed me how much more God can do in my life if I would only let Him. Pastor Tully's journey from devastation to victory ministered to me in ways I never thought possible - it showed me the power and unconditional love God has for me, and for you, and that no matter how far or deep we fall, God is always there to pick us up. Pastor Tully's words have convicted me to be a better Christian. I know that this book will bring many to know God and lives will be saved. God bless you and your family, Pastor Tully."
