At the construction of this vivid autobiography, I was in my late teens, so full comprehension for me didn’t come until I grew as a man. As an author myself, the details in my dad’s story gravitated me toward wanting to read more and more! It’s that ability he possesses that lets me know God put the right message in the best man. Keep shining, Pops!

Life’s vicissitudes are seemingly recrementitious in proportion to the feeble vessels that carry them. Dr. Towns’ bravery, ultimately, to negotiate through those horrid meanderings of addiction not only deserve commendation but serious reflection for anyone seeking levitation from abysmal ruin to compassion and refuge in Jesus Christ.

Every transformation story needs a remarkable protagonist who personifies the power of God in the work of salvation. Stephen is that. As bad as Stephen’s story made his life look in this world, this masterful account of his redemption sure makes God look good.

God set the stage, but you raised the curtains and masterfully penned the miraculous transformation of your life. You took us on a journey and you’ve left us believing that there is absolutely nothing too hard for God. Thank you for your bold, vivid, authentic testimony. Because of that, From Crack to Christ breeds healing and hope in this real life. In that, Dr. Towns, God is well-pleased!
