What’s In It?
Be transported into 7 stories of God’s miraculous Hand at work.
Stand in the courtroom with Hannah Overton as she is pronounced guilty of a murder she didn’t commit and sentenced to life in prison. But then in prison, encounter the same God that Hannah did, Who told her to forgive her accusers.
Paddle deep into the jungles of New Guinea alongside Don and Carol Richardson as they make first contact with a Stone Age tribe of cannibals lost to time and in desperate need of a Savior.
Feel the heat of the Pentagon in flames as a Boeing 757 slams into the building on September 11th and engulfs U.S. Army officer Brian Birdwell in a ball of fire. Feel Brian’s life hang by a thread as the God of miracles works mightily that day.
Enjoy these stories, and more, as you marvel at the work of our God.

What Others Are Saying…
“I love this book! The compelling stories of God’s intervention into unlikely lives inspired me, encouraged me, and motivated me to continue sharing His message of grace with others.
Read this book and you’ll emerge ever more in love with Christ and ever more in awe of His desire to redeem wayward people.
It’s a book of hope and promise, of unexpected encounters and transformed lives, of Divine appointments and extraordinary outcomes. Let God use it to soften your heart toward Him and others.”
“‘Irresistible grace’ is a theological expression high on the ladder of abstraction, but Compelled makes the reality clear with seven stories that many readers will find irresistible.”
“Compelled is a gripping, powerful, faith-inspiring page-turner that showcases how God uses all things, no matter how hopeless they may seem, for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.”
“There’s nothing like stories of God’s transforming power at work to inspire, encourage, and challenge us! In Compelled, Paul and Sarah Hastings have gathered a thrilling collection of real-life testimonies that showcase the redeeming work of Jesus. These incredible stories and be reminded that no situation is too tough, no life too broken, for His grace to redeem and restore.”
“Paul Hastings is a great storyteller. More to the point, he draws great stories out of people. Compelled is a monument to the truth that you have never met a mere mortal: every human story is a story of eternal consequence.”
“Compelled is a quick read that will fuel your love for Christ and inspire you to live a life worthy of the gospel. The stories in Compelled remind us that the gospel of Jesus Christ has the power to transform everything and everyone, including us.”
