Summary

Julian Weber was a family man with everything the American Dream could offer - a loving wife, 4 children, a beautiful home, a great job, and even leadership in his church. But when his identity was stripped away, his idyllic life soon followed. He became addicted to painkillers, alcohol, and pornography - and everything he held precious was destroyed. Only a Savior could bring him peace.
