THE BASTARD CHILD WHO WOULDN'T BREAK: A Life Story About Falling, Fighting, and Finding Purpose

They called him a bastard. God called him by name.Reginald Breggs entered the world without a father, without a name to claim, and without anyone telling him he was going to make it. What followed was four decades of falling: the streets of New Orleans, the drug game, a near-fatal car crash, two failed marriages, PTSD from combat deployments, and a prison cell in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.By every measure the system uses to predict outcomes, Reginald Breggs was supposed to fail permanently.He didn't.The Bastard Child Who Wouldn't Break is the unfiltered story of a man who hit rock bottom and discovered it had a basement, and who found God waiting for him at the very bottom of it. From fatherless child to All-State athlete. From drug dealer to United States Marine. From inmate to theology scholar. From convicted felon to Dean's List student at Southern Methodist University. This is not a story about a man who had it easy and got lucky. This is a story about what happens when grace refuses to give up on someone who has given up on himself.This book is for the fatherless. For the incarcerated. For the veteran carrying invisible wounds. For every man who has been told, by circumstance, by the system, or by his own failures, that he is too far gone for redemption.No one is too far gone. Not even you.Reginald Breggs is living proof.
