Not My Will. His.

What happens when survival is no longer enough?

In Not My Will. His.: From Survival to Surrender, Salaam Strickland shares a deeply personal Christian testimony of childhood trauma, homelessness, addiction, professional achievement, family struggles, and a renewed commitment to Jesus Christ.

Writing from the middle of rebuilding, he explores forgiveness, sobriety, fatherhood, marriage, identity, and the daily responsibility of living what he believes. His story offers an honest invitation to face the past, accept help, and take the next faithful step.

Nineteen brief chapters include Scripture references, reflection questions, prayers, and practical actions. A discussion guide supports deeper conversation in church groups and mentoring relationships.

For anyone carrying shame or seeking a different direction, this book offers encouragement rooted in faith, accountability, and hope.

Content note: Includes discussions of abuse, addiction, overdose, homelessness, and suicidal thoughts.
