Keith Repult spent his life looking for love and running from God. After growing up bouncing between parents, grandparents, and foster homes, Keith ended up in California in his early twenties—homeless, addicted, and broken.

Using the acronym BREATHE, Just Breathe provides practical tools for reflection, hope, and help for those drowning in the pain of addiction. It is also a powerful ministry resource, using the steps Keith took to find freedom from addiction.

A fascinating book with some insightful teachings and although this was outside of my comfort zone, I enjoyed it immensely.

A very interesting graphic novel. I am particularly struck by the color choices.

JUST BREATHE takes us through Repult's journey to brokenness and then shows us how God has begun and continued healing him and putting him back together. It is a book not just about redemption or addiction, but a bit of both combined. After following Repult's journey, he's included a list of tools we can use to allow Jesus and God fully into our lives to heal us and continue to use us.

Well written, insightful, and useful, I think particularly the tools section was helpful. He discusses the link between amends and forgiveness, which I have, in the past, felt was overlooked. This book is not just for recovering addicts who are trying to find redemption; it's a book to remind us all that we must be willing to admit our complete brokenness before we can be healed.

This is a really good read. Its openness and honesty are intriguing. It definitely kept us glued to electronic pages. Author Keith Repult has been through Hell and has returned from the ashes to talk about it. The true tale begins as Repult is born of two teens. He ends up as yet, another victim of the foster child system.

Really, we have not been so involved in the true-life story of another in a very long time. Once you start, you have to finish, dirty laundry and pee breaks set aside. It's wonderful that this man made his way to Christ and licked his addictions.

It isn't all hard, hard, hard. There were times when his life was going well. But, even then, it all led to heartache.

Just Breathe is just an excellent read!
