The story begins with a boy who lost his father in the fire of the Lebanese war, and who lived through the harshness of orphanhood and boarding school, before his voice carved a path toward singing and the lights of fame. Amid the wounds of childhood, the adventures of youth, study, and art, Nizar Fares kept searching for meaning \u2014 and for the God of life.<\/p>\n

In thirty-nine true stories, Nizar recounts his journey of transition through a scene filled with dust and light \u2014 from singing to hymn-chanting, from the wounds of the past to reconciliation, hope, and service \u2014 bearing witness to how God can use the strangest of stations to change the course of an entire life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
