From Worldly Rags to Heavenly Riches: H.D. Theophilus II and the God That Wouldn't Let Go

Everyone loves a redemption story-until they have to live one.

H.D. Theophilus II was not born with his name, nor with any sense of destiny. He wore the tattered garments of shame, addiction, and spiritual defeat for most of his young life. Running from God, he stumbled from one self-inflicted wound to another, convinced that freedom was found in rebellion and pleasure in the next escape. The world had nothing left to offer him except brokenness-and he wore it like a second skin.

But this is not the end of the story.

In the dark, in the places where hope seems foolish and faith feels impossible, grace broke through. This is the raw, unflinching account of a man who was lost, chased by a God who refuses to give up, and found in the least likely of places: rock bottom.

From Worldly Rags to Heavenly Riches is more than a memoir. It's an invitation. Step inside a journey marked by honest struggle-where faith isn't easy, prayers are sometimes desperate, and healing is messy. Through candid storytelling and gritty spiritual reflections, Theophilus pulls back the curtain on what it really means to fall, to doubt, and to be pursued by relentless love. This is not a sanitized, Sunday-morning testimony, but the kind of story that meets you in your wilderness and whispers, "You're not alone. God is still after you."

Inside, you'll find:

• Honest confessions of addiction, defeat, and running from God
• Moments of despair, deliverance, and the slow work of grace
• Devotional reflections for those who are hurting, doubting, or longing for restoration
• A roadmap for anyone who has ever wandered far from faith-and wondered if they could ever come home

Whether you're in the pit, on the run, or longing for a comeback, From Worldly Rags to Heavenly Riches offers hope that's bigger than your failures and a love that will not let go. This book is for the backslider, the skeptic, the struggler, and the saint who knows what it's like to lose their way. It's for anyone desperate to know if restoration is possible after you've squandered it all.

You are not beyond grace. You are not too far gone. Your story is not over.

Let this testimony remind you: God is still writing your next chapter.
