    About this ebook

    Brandon “Unique” Freeman is quickly becoming one of this generation’s prominent voices. Equipped with energy and humor, his captivating message has enabled him to speak to people from all different walks of life. Whether it’s motivating a football team, empowering leaders, or preaching from a pulpit, it’s all in a day’s work for Brandon. His passion is contagious and his presentation always leaves an imprint. Brandon serves as the Lead Pastor of The I AM Church in downtown Dallas, Tx. With destiny at hand and the world within his reach, he’s quickly blazing a trail of influence that is a key part of the emerging world we live in. Now he adds a new level of influence and reach with the title of “author.” He loves people, but more importantly it’s evident that he loves God.

    “My prayer is that some mother, son, daughter, pastor, leader, teacher or any person of influence reads this book and feels empowered to not only rise above and beyond their past, but will also feel confident in knowing that they can be the catalyst to healing a broken generation.”

      "Being alone as a child for any length of time produces fear and anxiety. But when those moments turn into hours and days, then weeks, months and years—it’s pure torture!"

      -Brandon Freeman

      Forward

      This is a book that will speak to the heart of moms, single moms, dads, single dads, grandparents–in fact to all parents that no matter how desperate your circumstances may seem, God has an answer, a plan, and a destiny for you and your family. Romans 8:28 promises us that …all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purposes, and this book speaks to young people who may feel hopeless in their circumstances of life.

      Some books are written about the life of the author—stories of their childhood, background and schooling, maybe a sentence or two about hardships they have overcome, but this book takes the reader to a whole new level of survival.

      Other books look at the lives of people who have overcome amazing obstacles, and they are instruction manuals for the Christian community, teaching leaders how to minister to specific groups of people.

      But seldom do we find a book that tells a personal story from a child’s point of view with circumstances so full of despair from the very beginning that the reader completely understands why bad choices were made, just for survival. Then that same book transcends from personal story to instruction manual on how we, in the Christian community, might recognize the symptoms of a life that has been damaged, and also teaches us how to minister the love of God to bring healing, joy, and complete redemption to life. Not that every life issue can be solved by reading this book, but it sure did remind me how even a simple act of kindness can bring that breath of fresh air to a life of empty dreams.

      This is a must read for those currently experiencing tough times as they are growing up, but it also is a must read for those adults who have tried to bury their hurts from childhood and are always wondering why things never turn out the way they want.

      It is a must read for those who are ministering to young adults with a past. It tells the redemptive power of God in the life of a young man from his early childhood all the way to his adulthood. In these pages you will see the hand of God at work in areas that most Christians prefer not to discuss. You will hear the heartfelt cry of this young boy trying to understand a world he was never intended to inhabit.

      The pages came alive as I considered areas in life that God wants to heal, not only wants to, but is the only one with power enough to bring true healing to a life that has been so damaged by adults and life circumstances. We see how people are not the enemy a young person might think. The true enemy is Satan, working through the lives of others, and we recognize in these pages the plans he has to take us off track before we even get started. Unique’s story is not just about what the Lord has done for him, but what the Lord can do for you too!

      Tiz and I are so proud of Unique and the way he has used his past to frame his amazing present with the power of God!!! His story is a true miracle, and as you read these pages, you too will catch the vision of how much God loves giving us a new beginning!!! No matter who you are, where you’ve come from, or what you’ve been through, Jesus has a New Beginning for you!

      Pastors Larry and Tiz Huch

      DFW New Beginnings

      Prologue

      Growing up fatherless was the expectation of the children in my neighborhood. It wasn’t unusual for a single mother to raise kids and struggle to provide food and shelter for them.

      Most of my friends had this reality. Of course there was the occasional occurrence when one such mother would find her Prince Charming and she would marry. This meant the kids had a chance of growing up normal.

      But not me…

      My childhood was spent mostly in despair and shame. Hunger was my companion, and lack was my consciousness. It wasn’t in any way a privileged existence for me and my sister–it was mere survival!

      We wondered why life had to be this way. Lamenting our circumstances could mean not eating for that day. I quickly learned that focusing on this got
