Publisher's Description
The day Lacey Sturm planned to kill herself was the day her grandmother forced her to go to church, a place Lacey thought was filled with hypocrites, fakers, and simpletons. The screaming match she had with her grandmother was the reason she went to church. What she found there was the Reason she is alive today. With raw vulnerability, this hard rock princess tells her own story of physical abuse, drug use, suicide attempts, and more--and her ultimate salvation. She asks the hard questions so many young people are asking--Why am I here? Why am I empty? Why should I go on living?--showing readers that beyond the temporary highs and the soul-crushing lows there is a reason they exist and a purpose for their lives. She not only gives readers a peek down the rocky path that led her to become a vocalist in a popular hardcore band, but she shows them that the same God is guiding their steps today.

“A book with this much substance will, without a doubt, live on to change lives for generations. I truly believe Lacey’s story has fallen into your hands at the perfect time. Dive right in and find out the reason.” —from the foreword by Brian “Head” Welch, lead guitar for Korn / Love & Death, author of Save Me from Myself “Fresh. Passionate. Powerful. Lacey Sturm does in The Reason what she has done her whole career—she tells the truth, sings the truth, dances the truth. Her story will blow you away, and her heart will touch you. Read The Reason. Just like her voice and presence, Lacey’s writing compels and penetrates, and in the end she will change you.”
“In a time where the gulf between sacred and secular seems to grow incrementally, Lacey bridges the gap with her soul-bearing candor, raw passion, and prophetic insight. She communicates the comedy, tragedy, and triumph of her life story with fluidity and grace, and her message is timelessly impactful. It ‘screams’ of Jesus Christ, who is alive and active today, even in our darkest times, and the great news that no one is beyond his reach.”
“At its core Lacey’s story is one of hope. From desperation to redemption to victory, this is an amazing journey that, apart from God, would not be possible. Hers is a story that will encourage and challenge all who read it.”
“Lacey Sturm is a voice of hope to a hurting generation. In her book, you will experience God’s unstoppable heart for you and for those in your life who need a supernatural reset. Lacey’s message is real, raw, and dripping with love. Dive in and be blessed!”
“Lacey has touched so many lives around the world through her music. Her story will hit your heart.”
“I have been fortunate to witness Lacey grow from singer/songwriter to wife to mommy to now author. She is an amazing soul with a heart like no other. Her life and her story have been such an encouragement to me, and I know this book will also inspire and change you forever.”
