Repurposed

Description

Have you ever thought your life is beyond repair? Perhaps you asked, “How could God possibly use my brokenness for good?”
 
We all tend to look for purpose in our pain. We are broken people living in a broken world. Depression, anxiety, hurting relationships, unmet expectations, and just that constant feeling of unease and discouragement make us question God, wondering if there is even a purpose to be found.
 
In Repurposed, Noe Garcia takes readers on a journey through Romans 8, which many have called “The Greatest Chapter in the Bible.” Noe shares his life story, including abuse, depression, and overwhelming hopelessness. He reveals how God has redeemed him, repaired his brokenness, and restored him to new life.
 
Whether your life is like Noe's was, or your brokenness looks different, this book will meet you where you are, and:

Provide hope for your future.

Remind you of the promise that God is for you.

Lead you to surrender your brokenness to God.

Help you see how God is using all things together for your good.

Part testimony, part exposition of Romans 8, Repurposed is a hopeful, helpful guide showing readers how God can turn their mess—whatever it is—into a story of his redemption and grace. “Many Christians have wondered how to experience victory in Christ when doubts, fears, sins, and guilt of the “old self” plague and assault their thought life each day? In Noe Garcia's new book Repurposed, He takes the reader on an unflinching journey through Romans 8 to look at how God can repurpose our failures, our pain, and our sin for His glory and our good. Repurposed is a discipleship resource for anyone desiring to mature as a Christian.”
—Robby Gallaty, pastor, Long Hollow Church, author, Replicate and Recovered

“God can speak so powerfully to others when we open our hearts and honestly share our struggles. I am grateful that my friend Noe Garcia has done that here.

If you are walking a similar path or want to minister more effectively to those who are, this is a book you will want to read and refer to often.”

“Every Christian at some point has wondered, “How will God use ‘this’ in my story…for His glory?” Often we see our struggles differently than God sees them. In this book, Noe gives us a front row seat into God’s redemptive power using Romans 8 to show us that God never wastes any experiences in our life, whether good or bad.”
