Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Discover the Unseen Hand of God in the Middle of Your Greatest Trials.Every life tells a story, but not every story reveals the fingerprints of God. In God's Workmanship, Frederick Perry Sr. offers a raw and vulnerable look at the making of a pastor-not through a life of perfection, but through a process of transformation shaped by pain, purpose, and providence.From the very beginning, Frederick's life was a battle. Preserved in the womb against all odds, he was pushed into leadership as a "boy accelerated," only to find himself drifting years later through the "numbness" of addiction and the heartbreak of a fractured church. But God was not finished. Through a divine warning delivered by his mother, Perry was pulled back from the edge and led into a calling he had spent years trying to outrun.In these pages, you will discover: - The Power of Preservation: How God shields you for a purpose before you even take your first breath.- Ministry Through Pain: What it means to pastor others while "bleeding" yourself, and the reality of carrying spiritual weight without a covering.- The Sacred Weight of Caregiving: Lessons on compassion and sacrifice learned while standing beside the hospital beds of those you love.- Divine Alignment: How retirement is not an ending, but a reassignment into a season of legacy, restoration, and a love that finally matches your spirit.Whether you are navigating "church hurt," struggling with a silent calling, or feeling the exhaustion of caregiving, this book is a roadmap to help you recognize God's hand in your own story.You are not a mistake. You are not an accident. You are God's Workmanship
