What people are saying
★★★★★
Great book
I just finished Faith Like A Leaf and although I'm not religious I found the quick read inspiring. The author had a rough go maybe like you or me but found meaning and hope despite seemingly overwhelming obstacles. I believe you will be better for reading. A testament to the human resolve.
★★★★★
A Must Read!
This is a book of wisdom, but not wisdom that is simply granted. It is wisdom that is grown: cultivated, seeded, fed and harvested from circumstances and events beyond human control. This book has pain, need and hope laid bare. It is an honest look at what life brings and an unlikely faith that ensued.
★★★★★
BUY IT NOW — God is so Good!
This book has it all in a short read. Trauma, perseverance, resilience and happiness! Chris dives into the trauma he endured which is truly a gut punch but his love and strength in the Lord proves faith can get you through. This book will give you hope. Definitely recommend!
Listen · The Word
A spoken companion to Breakthrough.
The Word is part testimony, part pastoral teaching, and part honest reckoning with the specific ways almost-shaped lives get stuck. The episodes sit beside the book as something more personal, more spoken, more like a voice in the room with you.
Listen to the seriesTen episodes are planned. Seven are available now, and three are forthcoming. One God refuses to call any of it your final address.

Questions from the middle of real life.
Lean On Me
How Do I Live Faithfully When the Life I Trusted Starts Falling Apart?
Job loss did not just cost me income. It revealed what I was really leaning on. A raw reflection on faith, identity, and finding God present in the middle of the story.

Why I Wrote Breakthrough
I did not write this to sound strong. I wrote it because I got tired of living in almost, and I needed faith to interrupt the pattern.

What Breaking the Cycle of Almost Really Means
When almost is not a season, it is a system. A clean look at how hesitation becomes a lifestyle and how faith interrupts the loop.
