Abandoned Not Broken

For many of us, it can be difficult to imagine that our own life stories are worth telling. Are they exciting or impactful enough to share with others? What wisdom can we impart on those we tell? What can younger generations take from our experiences that would even apply to their lives? In this book, Rob Johnson faces these questions head-on.


Abandoned, Not Broken tells the moving true story of a young boy adopted as a baby and raised in a small, tight-knit trailer community. Spanning the author’s life from birth to present day, this touching memoir explores his troubled beginnings, his spiritual journey, a televised marriage proposal, endeavors in entrepreneurship, a campaign for local office, success, failure, perseverance, and more. All the while, this book offers an honest and powerful testimony of God’s love that will move and inspire its readers.


Armed with the philosophy that one’s story is worth telling if even one person is positively affected by what you’ve been through, this book sets out to uplift and encourage its readers, proving that the stories God gives us are always worth sharing.
