The First Thirty-Nine: My Search for the Father Who Never Left
I’d always wanted to help people, but my life felt pointless compared to the lives of people who were positively influencing the world. But giving my life to God and accepting His grace-filled forgiveness for my sins initiated the death of my self-centered desires. I found purpose in Him and the ending I needed for my story— transformation and new life. Reaching the end of myself, I decided I could help other hurting people if I told my story—the story of everyone who reaches the end of themselves and humbly comes to Jesus for new life. This is the good news, the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This book is dedicated to the fatherless and to those who have suffered or are currently suffering from domestic abuse. My prayer is that these individuals find someone they can talk to, and that they realize their true identity and worth in Jesus Christ.

I absolutely loved this book! I felt so close to God and it taught me a lot about how He works in mysterious ways. I literally could not put this book down because I was so invested in the compelling plot. It’s a very well written novel that I think everyone should read.

Sometimes the thing we’re looking for is right in front of us. That’s the story of Brandon Keane.
This well written memoir is Brandon’s about hardship, adversity, a longing for something better, and hope in finding it.
While the circumstances are Brandon’s the story is one that we can all relate to in our own search for something better. The better life Brandon sought and found is one available to all of us.
This is a must read (and would make a great gift!).
