Up From the Ashes is a raw, unapologetic memoir of suffering, surrender, and the relentless pursuit of God’s love. From a childhood shattered by sexual abuse to a young adulthood consumed by chronic illness, addiction, shame, and heartbreak, Brandon was drowning beneath the weight of secrets no one knew he carried. Crohn’s disease devoured his body. Despair stalked him daily. Religion offered no real introduction to the Lord—only a study of Him—until God made the introduction Himself. This is the story of what happens when the bottom falls out—and God shows up anyway. Told with brutal honesty and unfiltered faith, Up From the Ashes traces a journey through childhood trauma, family breakdown, loss, sexual confusion, betrayal, and the desperate chase for healing through success, psychology, and romance. But just as the pain threatens to destroy everything, Brandon hears a whisper that changes his life: “Give it all away.” What follows is a testimony unlike anything you’ve ever read—marked by supernatural encounters, gritty street evangelism in Chicago, angelic visitations, prophetic dreams, and a season of surrender where God refuses to let him settle for anything less than full obedience. Through death threats and hospital stays, failed relationships and painful confessions, Brandon discovers the love of a Father who was never absent—and a Savior who refused to let go. Every chapter bears witness to the Gospel’s power to redeem even the most shattered stories. This is not a memoir about how to get better. It’s a record of what it costs to truly die—and live again. A testimony of God’s fierce pursuit. A story of resurrection. Whether you’re struggling with trauma, battling chronic illness, wrestling with sin, or wondering if God even sees you, Up From the Ashes offers more than comfort. It offers Truth. Scripture doesn’t sit quietly in the background—it walks onto the page and breathes. The Holy Spirit doesn’t whisper from a distance—He speaks, leads, convicts, and heals. This book is for the hurting and the hopeful. The disillusioned and the desperate. It’s for anyone who needs to know: Jesus Christ still saves. Still speaks. Still resurrects.ASIN: B0FR2H8FSDVSKU: PKV.B0FR2H8FSD.GCondition: GoodAuthor/Artist:Ash, BrandonBinding: PaperbackNote: Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.
