Victory in Vulnerability: Shatter the Silence That Holds You Captive

HOW DO YOU FORGIVE THE UNFORGIVABLE?

Ricky Brockwell's shocking true story begins with a boy who learned to sleep light, run toward his mother's screams, and absorb the blows from a father unraveling in drunken rage. When "safety" meant being sent away to various relatives' homes, sexual predators licked their lips. As Ricky learns to fight for his survival, he grinds his way to become an accomplished Christian singer/songwriter, touring for nearly a decade. But Ricky finds himself offering hope from the limelight while wrestling demons offstage. After a wildly chaotic roller-coaster of a story, Ricky hits rock bottom and finds himself parked at a local "suicide bridge."

In Victory in Vulnerability, Ricky explores a controversial truth: too often, churches avoid honest conversations about emotional suffering and leave people in chains. Trauma unspoken doesn't die; it metastasizes because we prefer clean, convenient testimonies and quick fixes. Ricky realizes that true healing is a jagged and incremental process, marked by inch-by-inch spiritual warfare, worship, and practiced ownership over time.

Only when he becomes desperate and ready to do anything is Ricky led by the Holy Spirit to step into "Living Waters" at a weekend retreat. But can a man who is on the brink of ending it all really become free, let alone be a clarion call for others?

If you've ever felt forgotten or brushed aside as inconveniently depressed, this book is for you! If you've longed for a testimony that refuses to gloss over the darkness of the grinding fight toward the light, you'll feel seen here. Rooted in scripture, practical process, and raw honesty, Victory in Vulnerability is a relatable treasure chest for anyone suffering in silence.
