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.

An absolute must read!

I wouldn’t consider myself to be someone who has gone through much pain in my life, but I have followed Davey and Amanda’s story since Amanda passed. I also had the opportunity to hear Amanda’s mom and sister speak a year later. What I have learned from them is how God prepares us for seasons of pain. Listening to the Nothing is Wasted Podcast and now reading this book has helped me through for trauma and, I believe, preparing for future pain that will inevitably come.

Beautiful story of God’s redemption! Not just a book but a whole new world of ministry!

The story of a young pastor finding his beautiful, young, pregnant wife murdered one morning as he returned from the gym. As a counselor, I was captivated from beginning to end. I wanted to hear how on Earth anyone could survive a tragedy of this magnitude. Of course the answer is God’s amazing love and care. Not only is God healing Davey, He is also healing countless others through the growing ministries spawned from this tragedy.Loved hearing him read it himself! What a testament to God’s healing power!

Offers Hope in Suffering

This book helped me remember that although I lost my husband, our story and God’s message did not end there. There is still purpose left for us until we join him in Heaven.

Davie’s narration makes his story, and Amanda’s story, come to life. I finished the book feeling grateful for each of their lives and for Davie’s obedience to keep moving forward. This story is an encouragement to me to keep my eyes on Jesus, believing there is hope for joy and purpose again.

Hearing this story read by the author makes it even more of a personal experience. It's like Davey is sitting there with you sharing his Testimony of this tragic chapter in his life. He shows us that no matter what, our Lord is there beside us and can help us through anything. Thank you for sharing your story with the world Davey!

The Truth in Moving Forward

This book is written in truth & suffering. It reminded me that questioning God doesn’t make me a non believer, it makes me human. There are times we forget there is a bigger picture and things don’t happen on my time.

Gods amazing love & grace!

This was such an amazing read. It was so unbelievable to me how godly Amanda was. And how ready she was to lay down her life for her Saviour.
