About the Book
Ben Duelley’s life appeared to be a model of success: a decorated Naval Officer, devoted family man, and pillar of his community. But beneath the surface, he was silently unraveling—battling depression, self-doubt, and the suffocating weight of everyday life.
In this raw and transformative memoir, Ben recounts his journey from the depths of despair to the life-changing realization that God had been speaking to him all along. With unflinching honesty, he shares pivotal moments: facing unseen battles, uncovering the supernatural, and witnessing miraculous events during a mission trip to El Salvador.
Through his deeply personal story, Ben offers readers a powerful reminder that no matter how lost or broken we may feel, hope and healing are always within reach when we open our hearts to divine whispers. This is more than a memoir—it’s an invitation to pause, listen, and recognize that God’s miracles are unfolding right in front of you.
