About Damaged but Not Destroyed

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • ECPA BESTSELLER • The author of Relationship Goals and Crazy Faith proves that no matter how badly you’ve messed up, no matter what hardship or pain you’ve experienced, nothing can destroy the priceless, God-given value of your life.

Damaged but Not Destroyed will encourage and inspire you to remember that your failures do not define your future.”—Robert Morris, senior pastor of Gateway Church and bestselling author of The Blessed Life, Beyond Blessed, and The God I Never Knew

Your Damage Does Not Define You

Underneath our designer clothes, makeup, jewelry, and photo filters are cracks left by abuse, mistakes, rejection, and disappointment. Bestselling author and pastor Michael Todd reveals his own damage: the hits he’s experienced from trauma, dumb choices, and lingering struggles passed down through generations. Using candid stories, engaging illustrations, and biblical wisdom, he encourages readers to be H.O.T.—humble, open, and transparent—and face the pain of past hits to move toward the triumphant future God has for them.

Damaged but Not Destroyed will give you tools to identify the impact of your damage, see yourself the way God sees you, and realize that healing is all about progression, not perfection.

No matter how badly you’ve messed up, and no matter the pain you’ve experienced, nothing can destroy the God-given value of your life. It’s time to turn your damage into destiny! You may be damaged, but you are not destroyed. 

The Value Is Still in You

In fact, He has an even greater plan for your life than you could ever imagine!”—Robert Morris, senior pastor of Gateway Church and bestselling author of The Blessed Life, Beyond Blessed, and The God I Never Knew

“The wisdom Mike exudes upon the pages of this book do not come from a place of theory; rather, they are the experiences amalgamated over time and seasoned with grace.

“Pastor Michael Todd once again has given us a true gift. Damaged but Not Destroyed should be in the hands of every person looking to redefine their past and allow it to fuel their future. There are few books that balance the dance of being both compassionate and challenging. This book will call you out of a holding pattern of excuses and launch you into the limitless possibilities of what’s to come.”—Pastor Travis Greene and Dr. Jackie Greene, pastors of Forward City Church

“In my brother Mike Todd’s book Damaged but Not Destroyed, readers are invited onan exploration of faith, perseverance, and the transformative power of a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior. Mike’s vulnerability and transparency is an inspiration to Christians everywhere and a mark of freedom to those who feel they are being held captive to the mistakes they’ve made. Redemption is available and free; Mike Todd’s testimony throughout this book is proof of that. It is my honor and privilege to endorse Damaged but Not Destroyed and encourage every reader to get ready to be transformed.—Kirk Franklin, Grammy-winning Gospel artist
