My Journey to God
A Memoir of Faith Through Fire
My Journey to God is the story of a man who kept losing his way, and the God who refused to stop reaching for him, again and again.
Why read this book?
You should read My Journey to God if you’ve ever wondered why faith feels simple on paper but painfully complicated in real life. This book doesn’t come from a clean, church‑bench testimony; it comes from scraped knuckles, bad decisions, and nights where God felt a million miles away. It’s written for people who have tried to outrun Him, argued with Him, or given up on themselves long before He ever did.
Instead of pretending that belief erases struggle, My Journey to God walks you through the detours, setbacks, and small, stubborn moments of grace that pulled one man back from the edge over and over. If you’re tired of polished stories and hungry for something honest, this book will remind you that God is not scared of your questions, your past, or your mess, and that it’s never too late to turn toward Him again.
Synopsis
My Journey to God is not a straight line; it’s the record of a man who spends years running hard in every other direction before finally turning toward the One who never stopped coming after him.
From childhood wounds and bad assumptions about who God is, to seasons of anger, numbness, and quiet rebellion, this story follows a life that looks “too far gone” on the outside. Along the way are detours through addiction, despair, broken relationships, and the kind of shame that makes you certain you’ve burned every bridge that matters—including the one to heaven. Yet in the middle of each collapse, there are unexplainable rescues, unlikely people, and small, almost-hidden mercies that keep pulling him back from the edge.
As the years unfold, the question slowly shifts from “Where was God when I was falling apart?” to “How did He stay this close the whole time?” My Journey to God traces that shift, showing how stubborn grace works through ordinary days, painful reckonings, and simple acts of obedience to rebuild a life from the inside out. It is a raw, reflective, and ultimately hopeful story for anyone who has ever wondered if God has given up on them—and needs to hear that He hasn’t.

About the Author
Timothy F. Terrell has lived more lives than most people cram into one lifetime. A U.S. Army veteran and former contractor who’s walked through foster care, combat zones, prison cells, divorce, and the long dark of suicidal despair, he writes with the grit of someone who has actually been there and the hope of a man who knows he wasn’t carried through it by accident. His books, spanning memoir, fiction, sci‑fi, poetry, and historical storytelling, are rooted in raw honesty, hard-won faith, and a stubborn belief that no one is too far gone for God to reach. When he’s not writing, Timothy speaks to churches, veterans’ groups, and communities about survival, second chances, and the kind of grace that shows up when every other door has slammed shut.
Still with me? Let’s stay connected.
