Summary:

Born with a rare craniofacial disorder, Russell Joyce endured years of patchwork surgeries that left him with deep pain and physical and emotional scars. But a life-changing encounter set him on a journey where he learned how God doesn't love us despite our wounds but through them. We can find freedom in Christ, scars and all.
