David Besch was a chubby kid that grew up in a Pentecostal preacher’s home. I was constantly teased, bullied, beat up, and humiliated. After almost committing suicide, I found hope. This book was written with the objective of helping readers understand that the past is over and your best days are yet to come. You cannot change the past, but there is a way to deal with your painful memories and emotions that exist deep inside the small crevasses of your heart. Isaiah 43:18–19 (NIV) says, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” You can release the past and step forward to a brighter future! Don’t let low self-esteem from a bully’s powerless words limit you any longer. You have greatness inside of you and can achieve your greatest dreams and desires.
“Wow, wow, wow!! From Bullied to Blessed is a bold, authentic and powerful glimpse into an extremely tough childhood but with a testimony only God can explain. These pages will lead you through a journey of discovering the life transforming power of your identity in Christ, and what happens when you begin to aggressively renew your mind with God’s truth and begin to declare that over your life. David’s testimony is a powerful one; a testimony of overcoming trauma, attempting suicide, but most importantly encountering freedom in Christ. This book exemplifies the power of the Cross and amplifies the heart of David Besch”
