Mud, Blood and Cardboard

A burned-out former pastor is done with ministry. He has been wounded and betrayed by the people he once loved and served. He has been scarred by the battle for his wife’s life and sanity, and exhausted by the fight to hold his family together during years of turmoil. And now, working construction on high- rises in Las Vegas, he is burning with questions. Is God really good? How could a loving God allow such things to happen to his children? As he wades through the flames of hell on earth, he sifts through the rubble of his life that once was to find the truth about the truth. All his questions are narrowed down to this one query: “Is this all just a joke, or is God doing this to us on purpose?” The answer will catapult him and his family headlong into their destiny. Rudy Trussler presents this true story, an autobiography full of blood, tears, and overwhelming victory
