The Locust Was Me: What Ate My Time, What Saved My Soul
"And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten..."
This isn't just a scripture. It's a survival story. A soul cry. A time capsule for the ones who lost time, identity, and vision-and still found God in the wreckage.
The Locust Was Me is a raw, soul-healing journey into the silent devouring that happens when purpose is delayed, identity is distorted, and obedience is postponed. It speaks to the boy who never knew what manhood looked like. To the girl who gave away her worth to survive. To the dreamer who sat too long in self-doubt. To the builder who kept breaking themselves just to hold everyone else up.
Told with visceral honesty and spiritual precision, this book is for anyone who's ever asked:
Where did my time go?
Why do I still feel behind?
Am I too late to become who I was born to be?
From inherited wounds to personal detours, George Barnes walks readers through the trauma of time loss, the spiritual diagnosis of delay, and the miracle of divine restoration. This book exposes the Cankerworm, Caterpillar, Palmerworm, and Locust spirits-not just as external forces, but inner battles that quietly devour destiny.
Inside, you'll find:
A 3-part transformation arc: Devouring → Redemption → Harvest
Therapeutic story chapters and prophetic interludes
The Calendar Redemption framework
SoulLit Glossary, Reflection Journal, and Restoration Prayer
A Therapist's Note from the spiritual trauma chair
The Locust Was Me is not about regret-it's about reclaiming time, realigning bloodline, and resurrecting purpose.
If you've ever lost yourself trying to save others...
If you've ever felt delayed, disqualified, or devoured...
If you know God's been whispering "Come back to the calendar"...
This book is your rhythm. Your mirror. Your restoration.
