Faith Like A Leaf
For the forgotten. For the overlooked. For anyone who has ever felt like they were hanging on by a thread—this book is for you.
Faith Like A Leaf is more than a memoir. It’s a testament to the enduring power of a faith that refuses to be broken.
Born to a heroin-addicted mother and left with a cigarette burn on his back at ten months old, Chris’ life began in the darkest of places. Labeled “irreversibly brain damaged,” tossed between foster homes, and adopted into a home where love was conditional and discipline was cruel, he was eventually disowned and left at a boys’ home with the words: “We are no longer your parents.”
With brutal honesty, Chris shares a journey through homelessness, rejection from both adoptive and biological family, and internal battles that led him to the brink—yet through it all, he held on to a sliver of hope, a faith as tenacious as a single leaf clinging to a fence in a hurricane.
This is for anyone who has been told they are “too much” or “not enough.” It is proof that God meets us in the dark—not always to rescue us, but to be present with us. And it invites you to see your survival as worship, believing that even in the cracks, grace can find a way to grow.
What you’ll find inside
- A raw, cinematic testimony that doesn’t sanitize the pain.
- Hope for readers carrying trauma, shame, and rejection.
- A faith-forward invitation to believe grace can grow in the cracks.
