None of us get to choose what kind of upbringing well have, but we do get to choose what we do with it. Chris chose to face his painful past and allow God to restore what was broken. This isnt just an encouraging example; this is hope for us all!

There is no gold in pain and trauma, but there is something in our pain and trauma that can be turned into gold. Chris Brown gets this concept. If you have pain in your past, youll find a guide to redeem that pain in this book.

I have watched Chriss inspiring ministry journey for years and have always appreciated how he connects with others with genuine authenticity and wisdom while also faithfully leading his family with love and integrity. I continue to be touched by his eternal perspective about all the unfortunate and even tragic events from his past. There is no doubt that Restored will not only inspire you but also equip and encourage you.

Chris Brown had my attention with the title of this book! Restoration is a desire of every human being on the planet (well, the ones who are honest!). Restoration to Jesus and others is the only path to peace worth pursuing. And while a lot of people may say this is true, Chris doesnt just dive into theological and philosophical rabbit holes but rather, through storytelling and biblical application, shows practical ways for anyone (no matter where they are in their spiritual journey) to begin their journey to restoration.

Perry Noble , senior pastor at Second Chance Church

Chriss vulnerability in sharing his story, and the lessons learned from it, paint an amazing picture of how God can breathe hope into any situation. Chriss approach looks beyond the pain of his past to the hope and victory in Jesus and encourages us to do the same.

J. Todd Mullins , senior pastor at Christ Fellowship Church

This book is more than a compilation of pages filled with information; its actually a blueprint for transformation. Chris masterfully uses parts of his life as a picture of possibility for ours. He shows us that although there may be seasons when our life seems to be in ruins, it doesnt have to ruin us. Why settle for ruins when we can be restored?
