Every life has its fires; moments that burn away our illusions and leave us sifting through ashes. Troy Gagne knows these fires intimately. In this soul-stirring collection, he takes you by the hand and walks you through the wreckage of heartbreak, doubt, and despair. But there is light ahead.

With the heart of a pastor and the pen of a poet, he leads you on a journey toward the cross, where guilt meets grace, and the broken find healing. These are poems for the wounded, the weary, and the wondering. If you’ve ever questioned if you could be forgiven, this book is your answer. The ashes don’t have the final word.
