Lead Me

The former lead singer of Christian music sensation Sanctus Real comes clean about the tension between life on the road and life at home. “Father, lead me, ’cause I can’t do this alone.” —“Lead Me” by Sanctus Real Matt Hammitt had performed his hit song, “Lead Me,” almost a thousand times. And every time he sang, the lyrics echoed the voices of his own family. His marriage was strained. His kids were growing up without him. Matt’s good intentions could no longer sustain his family; he needed to be a man of action. Yet even as he told his Sanctus Real bandmates that he was leaving the band to invest in his family, he wondered: Was it really possible to be present at home and still provide financially too? In Lead Me, Matt identifies the tension many men experience when trying to balance work and home life. With bracing honesty, vulnerable storytelling, and practical application, Matt challenges you to be faithful both to God’s vocational call and to His call to lead your family well. Discover the extraordinary joy of actively and intentionally pursuing your wife and children. Matt reminds us that it’s messy. It’s difficult. And it’s the most rewarding thing you can do, beyond following Christ.

As he fell at her feet unconscious, Pam had no idea that her otherwise healthy eight-year-old son was suffering a very severe brain hemorrhage. Nor did she realize that she was taking the very first step of an arduous and painful journey that would demand so much of her. Led into the shadow of death, this grief-stricken mother had no choice but to embrace a very devastating cross and to reconcile it with the God she thought she knew. Seventy-three days in the hospital, she walked the path of Calvary with her son as he struggled to survive and breathe, to eat and walk once again. Through the chaos, confusion, devastation, and darkness, Pam found sparks of hope igniting at every turn. Hope in the truly miraculous. Hope in restoration. Hope in the God she had known and loved. This story of suffering and salvation is the journey of a soul who found the love of her God within the cross she was asked to carry. It is a journey of painful scars but of even greater blessings-a journey of tremendous suffering but also unfathomable grace. Between the covers of this book is a glimpse into the heart of one woman and her discovery of Christ within her wounds. For anyone suffering under the weight of a very heavy cross, this is a story of hope in the promises of God. A story of trust when the road is difficult. A story of countless blessings on the journey as a very battered Sam was brought forth from the grave and incrementally led to the resurrection-bringing his whole family and an entire community of believers with him. "And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you" (1 Peter 5:10).

Getting involved with each other may require some actual conversation… Caleb Winthrop was conversation-challenged. Especially when it came to the opposite sex. I didn’t believe it at first when the guys told me Sophie was checking me out. A beautiful girl like her interested in the Mohawk-wearing lead guitarist for a rock band? It seemed far-fetched. But my band members kept pushing me toward her, so I gave in and made an attempt at talking to her, if only to shut them up. Sophie Lockhart has had her heart broken before. That’s why my attraction to Caleb was so insane. When one thought about honesty and faithfulness, Caleb Winthrop’s name is not what came to mind. Now, if the word was sexy or unbelievably hot, he would definitely be at the top of that list. But he was the ultimate bad boy…or at least he seemed to be. And that was not the type of guy I could trust with my heart. Even if it was, I’d never be able to work up the nerve to talk to him. Can these two introverts find their way to each other? Or will each crawl back into the comfort of their protective shell on Last Chance Beach?
