Review
This book records the amazing stories of normal, everyday individuals like yourself. I know each one of them personally. I have witnessed the increase of faith to meet explosove challenges, the flow of tears turned into grit to hold out until healing arrived, and the application of skills to set records of victories and advancement. May you be inspired by the stories of the individuals in this book to begin again, or to help others to see the path of new beginnings. --Dr. Raymond F. Culpepper, 1st Assistant General Overseer for the Church of God, Cleveland, TN

Some time ago I asked our pastoral staff, "What does a 'win' look like for Metro? After much discussion, we agreed that a "win" for Metro really is a changed life. That's what Metro has been about for the past 25 years. Metro has been a place where lives are changed by the miracle working power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This book contains the stories of real people who have experienced real life change. --Chris Goins, Senior Pastor at Metro Church, Birmingham, AL
