Michael Patrick Murtaugh has been sober for more than thirteen years. After so much time working on himself, reflecting on where his life went wrong, and sharing his story with thousands of people across the country, the now founder and pastor of Life Recovery Church wanted to share his message of Jesus with a larger audience. In this book, he recalls the abuse he suffered growing up, multiple stints of homelessness, his service in the Army and what led to his honorable discharge, and the addiction that overtook his life from an early age. By the time he was forty-five, he'd been jailed seven times, and he knew something needed to change. It did when he checked himself into Calvary Addiction Recovery Center in 2010. Early on in his recovery, he realized that his story could make an impact on those who still struggle with pain, resentment, and addiction. That was all the motivation he needed to share the message of how he conquered his demons. Learn how Jesus Christ helped the author change his life forever and fueled him with an unstoppable energy to help others in Sentenced to a Life of Recovery.
