Lord, Turn Me To You So I Can Turn Into Me

By Darryl J Gordwin

What if the darkness you have been living in is not who you are, but simply the direction you have been facing?

There is a simple truth written into the laws of nature that most people have never applied to their own lives: when you turn toward the light, your shadow disappears. Not gradually. Not eventually. The moment you turn.

Lord, Turn Me to You So I Can Turn Into Me is the story of a boy who became a father at fifteen, when the whole world expected him to run. A young man so broke he did not feel worthy of the woman he loved, who prayed alone in an empty room with nothing but hope and a God who was listening. A husband who stepped forward before he was ready, and watched his entire life change on the other side of one act of faith.

But this is more than one man's story.

Across 33 powerful chapters, one for every year of a life fully lived, author Darryl J. Gordwin takes you on a journey through four transformative phases that every person must walk:

The Shadow - Naming the darkness honestly, understanding where it comes from, and why it has been lying to you about who you are

The Turn - The moment everything changes. What surrender really means, why you do not need to be ready, and how one decision can rewrite the next chapter of your life

The Light - Who you are when you finally face the right direction. The identity, the purpose, and the person the light has been revealing all along

Staying Turned - The daily discipline of keeping your face toward the light when the world tries to pull you back around

This book is for the person going through the darkest season of their life. For the father who stayed when it would have been easier to run, and the one who left and wants to find his way back. For the man or woman who has prayed a prayer in an empty room and wondered if anyone was listening. For anyone who has accepted their shadow as their permanent address.

You were never who they said you were. Your darkness is not your destiny. And the turn that changes everything is available to you right now, exactly where you are, exactly as you are.

You do not need new circumstances. You do not need to get yourself together first. You do not need to be ready.

You just need to rotate.

Lord, turn me to You.
So I can turn into me.
