He was given a divine mission: tell the world that God loves them.
But how could a young man drowning in his own failures deliver a message of hope?
Blaise D'Souza's life was a mess. From the swagger of being Mr. Cool in college to the shame of failing his classes, his youth was a spiral of delinquency, addiction, and depression. His search for purpose led him not to peace, but to the cold, damp floor of a Mumbai police lockup, the crushing failure of a new life in America, and the confusing, often contradictory labyrinth of the mental health system.
As he battled a cycle of addiction, Bipolar II disorder, and the lingering wounds of his past, Blaise wrestled with the world's most painful question: How do you hold on to faith when your own life seems like proof that God has forgotten you?
Let Them Know I Love Them is an unflinching, brutally honest answer. It is a raw testimony of what it means to be broken, to lose everything, and to find a real, hard-won faith in the darkest of nights. It is a story of moving from a religion of rules and fear to a relationship with a God who meets us not in our perfection, but in our pain.
This is a book for anyone who has ever felt like a failure, for anyone who has ever asked where God is in the storm, and for anyone who desperately needs to believe that redemption is real.
