What is the value of a salvaged and reinvigorated man? Dr. Ben Michael Carter tells in beautiful manner the story of an individual who moved from drug addiction and alcoholism to a life of peace and stability. The change came by means of the grace of God through the vehicle of the redemptive power of the cross. This selection is autobiographical. It is taken from a manuscript discovered after Dr. Carter's death. For nearly twenty years, his thoughts have been dormant. It is time to break the silence. Thought-provoking through the use of a simple style and courageous in transparency, it is a message of hope. In 1982, Dr. Carter married Salma Carunia from Dohnavur Fellowship of Amy Carmichael, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, South India.
