Emmanuel Hunter
God
With
Us
"Every storm has a story.
Every storm has a purpose."
The Memoir
God With Us
A raw, honest account of what it looks like when a man finally stops running and starts reckoning — with himself, his son, his past, and the God who was present through all of it.
What this book is about
Every Storm Has a Story
God With Us is structured around the anatomy of a hurricane — because Emmanuel Hunter's life moved exactly like one. From the first tropical wave of early dysfunction to the catastrophic landfall of broken fatherhood, from the terrifying eyewall of addiction and avoidance to the impossible stillness of the eye — where God was waiting — this memoir traces every stage.
But this is not just Emmanuel's story. It is the story of every man who has been the storm. Every father who has felt the weight of absence. Every person who has looked at the wreckage around them and wondered if God was still in it.
The answer, Emmanuel discovered, is yes. God does not wait for the storm to pass. He walks into it with you. That is what this book is — a record of that walk.
From the book
Chapter 7 — Landfall
The issue was never Cam. I need you to understand that before you read another word. The issue was never my son. The issue was the absence — mine. The years I spent circling the storm instead of walking into it. The years I told myself that providing was the same as being present. It was not. A hurricane provides rain. That does not make it a blessing.Read the full excerpt
