Making of A God Man: From My Story to His Story - Paperback

by David W. White (Author)

At eight years old, David W. White was struck by a truck and given almost no chance to live. Doctors called it a miracle when he survived forty-four days in a coma -- but surviving was only the beginning of his fight.

Robbed of his coordination, his vision, and much of his confidence, David grew up bullied, misunderstood, and convinced something was wrong with him. He chased belonging in every reckless place a wounded teenager could look -- bourbon, brawls, broken relationships -- certain the question that haunted him would never have an answer: Why me, Lord, why me?

Then came the long, unglamorous climb: marriage at twenty-two, a failing construction company he had to fight to save, a derelict downtown building no bank would touch, and a faith he wasn't sure he'd earned. Years later, cast to play the apostle Simon Peter in a church play, David found himself staring at a man as flawed, headstrong, and forgiven as he was -- and the question that had shadowed his whole life finally began to make sense.

Making of a God Man is the unfiltered true story of a man who turned tragedy, rejection, and reckless youth into forty-five restored buildings, a thriving bank, a lasting marriage, and a faith that finally stuck. For anyone who has ever wondered if their wounds disqualify them from God's plan, David's answer is simple: they don't. They're the plan.
