Publisher's summary

Nothing Is Wasted is a story for anyone who has encountered trauma, tragedy, or a major transition and wondered, how do I begin to move forward through what I've experienced?

Where is God in the midst of your greatest pain?

Davey Blackburn wrestled with that age-old question in the aftermath of the murder of his beloved wife, Amanda, and their unborn daughter. As the high-profile case slowly meandered its way toward legal justice, Davey embarked on the wrenching task of finding strength to restore his shattered soul and the broken pieces of his life.

At turns horrific yet hope-filled, heartbreaking yet faith-affirming, Nothing Is Wasted is Blackburn’s disarmingly raw account not only of the shocking tragedy that forever changed his life, but of his late wife’s inspiring trust in the God who welcomed her into His loving arms.

The trauma he endured could have made anyone try to escape from the agony, yet by grace Blackburn chose to face the pain head-on and cling to his Savior to guide him through the storm.

As the riveting story of one man’s journey through the valley of suffering unfolds, listeners will join Blackburn in discovering:

  • the surprising ways that hope and joy can arise in the midst of any trial or sorrow.
  • the tension in accepting that “Why?” may never become clear this side of eternity.
  • how a good Father is faithful to draw near to the brokenhearted.
  • how forgiveness is the key to finding freedom in even the most unimaginable of offenses.
  • where to discover purpose in the deepest pain.
  • how a breathtaking moment at the altar symbolized love’s triumph over death.
  • . . . and much more.

Most of us will never endure the depth of heartache that Blackburn has walked through, and yet his message is for us all: that even in the greatest losses and most complex tragedies, God is inviting us on a path towards redemption and healing, hope and faith, where we can begin to see that nothing is wasted.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

What a Retelling of Pain and Redemption

There are SO many principles that are echoed through this book that remind me of hard lessons I learned through dark seasons.

I’ve been a listener of the Nothing is Wasted Podcast for years and have been encouraged by hearing story after story of resilience. To dive deep into the details of Davey and Amanda’s story… it still took my breath away. Those times in our lives when the rug is pulled out and we are completely disoriented, it is then that we find out what we’re made of - what our community is made of.

This book is peppered with nugget after nugget of hard earned wisdom. I don’t know that they all came out as eloquent or clear in the moment as written (spoken in audio), but the heart and lessons are there to glean from.

There are some parts of the story that are more graphic than I expected, but maybe not inappropriate. It’s a brutal story. Be warned.

I appreciate the vulnerability and willingness to be open about how raw and hard seasons of tragedy are. If you are walking through a similar season, I think you’ll resonate with some of the questions and struggles. And I hope you’ll find hope for the days ahead.

Truly inspirational!!

This book not only touched me but triggered some unwanted feelings from my past as a victim of crime. Because of Amanda Grace’s story I want to grow closer to the Lord.
