Strengthened - Softcover

An unimaginable tragedy has driven Jeremy Norton to leave the familiar small town he grew up in and move to Chicago to pursue his career as a detective. Putting as many miles as possible between him and his haunting past, Jeremy anticipates immersing himself in the high-stakes action of the city.

However, God's plans quickly prove to be drastically different than those Jeremy had in mind. Casting aside the notion of cutting all ties to his former life, Jeremy soon finds himself thrown into a whirlwind of emotions as he is confronted by erratic relationships, relentless ex-convicts, and the will of the Lord. Only through being vulnerable with God can Jeremy be gifted the strength to power through the most difficult journey of his life.
