In the heart of Buckhead, Ohio, Calvin's life crumbles into a haze of addiction and despair following a bitter divorce that shatters his world, leaving his young daughters, Emma and Lila, teetering on the edge of uncertainty. A single, desperate prayer in the depths of his brokenness ignites a transformative journey of surrender-where true power emerges not from clenched fists of control, but from the liberating act of letting go into Christ's embrace. As Calvin claws his way back, rebuilding his fractured family with tender determination, he steps into pastoral leadership, leaning on friends like Jonny, a fellow recovering addict whose own battles mirror his own. Everyday challenges-Lila's sudden health scare that silences her vibrant spirit, Emma's raw confrontation with her absent mother's hidden struggles, and a gripping community debate on the nature of grace-test their fragile faith, weaving a raw, relatable tale of redemption that pulses with authenticity. Grounded in biblical truth, Turning eschews over-spiritualized platitudes, instead exploring what it means to follow Jesus amid life's gritty messiness: the hard-won victories of a soul-stirring baptism by a quiet creek, the gut-wrenching struggles of relapse that threaten to pull Jonny under, and the quiet strength found in daily turning to God. With moments of humor that lighten the load-Jonny's quirky coffee creations at The Hopeful Bean-heartbreak that cuts deep-Lila's fragile recovery-and hope that refuses to fade, Calvin discovers that faith is lived in the trenches. It's in the clamor of family dinners where laughter masks tears, the sacred hush of church gatherings where broken hearts find solace, and the gritty hope of a coffee shop that becomes a sanctuary for the lost. Will his leadership hold firm, or will the shadows of his past reclaim him and his loved ones? Perfect for readers craving a real, faith-filled narrative of second chances, Turning offers a powerful testament to God's grace woven into the fabric of everyday life. Dive into a story where surrender is strength, every step forward a victory, and the promise of redemption shines through the storm-leaving you eager for the sequel's unfolding tales
