Paperback. You have been carrying it for a long time.Maybe it came from a father who never said the right words. Maybe it came from a father who was never there at all. Maybe it came from a coach, a church, a marriage, a season of failure you have never fully explained to anyone.However it arrived, you did what men do. You turned it into fuel. You built walls around it. You worked harder, went quieter, got more capable, and called all of that strength.This book has one thing to say about that: the wound is not your weakness. It is the raw material of your purpose.God does not remove scars. He weaponizes them.In THE SCAR., you will sit with three men whose wounds should have ended them.Jacob wrestled with God at the ford of the Jabbok and walked away with a new name and a limp he carried for the rest of his life. The limp was not the punishment. It was the proof. He went in as Jacob the schemer. He came out as Israel the limper: weaker in body, stronger in identity, never the same.Joseph spent 13 years in a pit, in slavery, and in an Egyptian prison before the calling his wound had been building finally arrived. Seventeen years old to thirty years old. Thirteen years. Not a detour. A construction project. And when he finally stood before the brothers who had sold him, he said the thing every wounded man needs to hear: You meant evil against me. God meant it for good.Paul begged God three times to remove his thorn. Three times God said no. My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. The weakness was not the obstacle to the mission. It was load-bearing.The pattern is consistent. The wound and the ministry are not separate. They are, more often than not, the same thing.The capacity you built to survive the wound -- the vigilance, the endurance, the hard-won understanding of what real pain feels like -- is the exact capacity God wants to deploy through your calling. The survival strategy and the vocation turn out to be the same movement. Fear becomes love. Damage becomes depth. The thing that was meant to diminish you becomes the instrument someone else needs to find their way through.But it requires one thing you have been avoiding.Not more management. Not a better strategy for keeping the wound contained. Surrender. Honest, specific, costly surrender -- bringing the thing you have been carrying to God and saying: I am done running this myself. Do with it what you want.That is the hardest thing in this book. It is also the only thing that actually changes anything.THE SCAR. is Book 4 in The True Name Series -- a five-book journey for Christian men who are ready to stop living from false identities and start walking in the name God gave them before any of this started.If you read Wild at Heart and felt something wake up. If you have carried a wound long enough that you cannot tell anymore where it ends and you begin. If you suspect, quietly, that the thing that hurt you most might somehow be the thing God wants to use most -- this book is for you.The scar is real. But it is not the story. God is still writing. And he writes the best parts after the scar. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

You have been carrying it for a long time.
Maybe it came from a father who never said the right words. Maybe it came from a father who was never there at all. Maybe it came from a coach, a church, a marriage, a season of failure you have never fully explained to anyone.
However it arrived, you did what men do. You turned it into fuel. You built walls around it. You worked harder, went quieter, got more capable, and called all of that strength.
This book has one thing to say about that: the wound is not your weakness. It is the raw material of your purpose.
God does not remove scars. He weaponizes them.
In THE SCAR., you will sit with three men whose wounds should have ended them.
Jacob wrestled with God at the ford of the Jabbok and walked away with a new name and a limp he carried for the rest of his life. The limp was not the punishment. It was the proof. He went in as Jacob the schemer. He came out as Israel the limper: weaker in body, stronger in identity, never the same.
Joseph spent 13 years in a pit, in slavery, and in an Egyptian prison before the calling his wound had been building finally arrived. Seventeen years old to thirty years old. Thirteen years. Not a detour. A construction project. And when he finally stood before the brothers who had sold him, he said the thing every wounded man needs to hear: You meant evil against me. God meant it for good.
Paul begged God three times to remove his thorn. Three times God said no. My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. The weakness was not the obstacle to the mission. It was load-bearing.
The pattern is consistent. The wound and the ministry are not separate. They are, more often than not, the same thing.
The capacity you built to survive the wound -- the vigilance, the endurance, the hard-won understanding of what real pain feels like -- is the exact capacity God wants to deploy through your calling. The survival strategy and the vocation turn out to be the same movement. Fear becomes love. Damage becomes depth. The thing that was meant to diminish you becomes the instrument someone else needs to find their way through.
But it requires one thing you have been avoiding.
Not more management. Not a better strategy for keeping the wound contained. Surrender. Honest, specific, costly surrender -- bringing the thing you have been carrying to God and saying: I am done running this myself. Do with it what you want.
That is the hardest thing in this book. It is also the only thing that actually changes anything.
THE SCAR. is Book 4 in The True Name Series -- a five-book journey for Christian men who are ready to stop living from false identities and start walking in the name God gave them before any of this started.
If you read Wild at Heart and felt something wake up. If you have carried a wound long enough that you cannot tell anymore where it ends and you begin. If you suspect, quietly, that the thing that hurt you most might somehow be the thing God wants to use most -- this book is for you.
The scar is real. But it is not the story. God is still writing. And he writes the best parts after the scar.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
