About this audiobook
From a hard-rocking life fueled by substance abuse to a hope-filled life of freedom and joy--this is music star Zach Williams's bold and vulnerable story of faith and redemption.
Before two-time GRAMMY Award winner Zach Williams penned heartfelt, faith-filled ballads like "Chain Breaker," "There Was Jesus (featuring Dolly Parton)," and "Fear Is a Liar," there was darkness. A rock-and-roll singer who thought he had all he ever wanted to make him happy, Zach instead felt empty. The drugs, alcohol, and late-night gigs played around the world couldn't satisfy the longing in his heart for a place to belong. He was desperate for change.
It came while on tour in Spain with his band, and in this powerful and poignant memoir, Zach shares in vivid detail his personal Rescue Story. He reflects on his childhood and the prophecy that kept his parents from giving up hope, his descent into the substance abuse that held him captive for so long, and ultimately the rescue he didn't think was possible but embraced with open arms.
A compelling, honest story of God's unconditional love, grace, and redemption, Rescue Story shares the intimate journey of a beloved music artist and challenges you to seek resilient hope in the trials of your own life--because Jesus offers real freedom and joy, despite the mistakes of your past.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Love the story of redemption. Living with a similar situation with my 22 yr old son, it taught me a few things. I love unconditionally and pray, but I also have a tendency to want to preach or push. Listening to how Zach’s parents approached Zach it’s taught me how to show more patience and just keep loving and praying. I say I’m turning him over, but I still want to fix him. I know only the Father can do so and I truly need to turn him over and let go. I have always loved Zach and his music, knowing how he has overcome and what he and Chrystal went through makes me love him and her even more. God has and is truly using him for the kingdom! Thanks for your story of unconditional love, grace and redemption!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5His raw honesty. It’s an awesome book it will and is helping others
