Rooted & Real: Meet the Author behind "God Doesn't Relapse"
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Rooted and Real, we talk to author Matt Grace about his upcoming new book, "God Doesn't Relapse", which is set to be released in August.
In this unflinchingly honest memoir, Matt Grace takes readers inside the chaos, compulsion, and collapse that defined his spiral into substance use. He lays bare the layered dependencies that stole his dignity, the recklessness that shattered the lives around him, and the spiritual reckoning that ultimately saved him. Grace never softens the truth. He never hides behind excuses. What he offers instead is raw reality—and the profound transformation that followed.
We are honored to be hosting Matt for an upcoming author event that will be open to the public at our Branford site. For more information, please visit: https://www.rootcenter.org/root-center-hosts-author-event
