From a hard-rocking life fueled by substance abuse to a hope-filled life of freedom and joy--this is music star Zach Williams's bold and vulnerable story of faith and redemption.

Before two-time GRAMMY Award winner Zach Williams penned heartfelt, faith-filled ballads like "Chain Breaker," "There Was Jesus (featuring Dolly Parton)," and "Fear Is a Liar," there was darkness. A rock-and-roll singer who thought he had all he ever wanted to make him happy, Zach instead felt empty. The drugs, alcohol, and late-night gigs played around the world couldn't satisfy the longing in his heart for a place to belong. He was desperate for change.

It came while on tour in Spain with his band, and in this powerful and poignant memoir, Zach shares in vivid detail his personal Rescue Story. He reflects on his childhood and the prophecy that kept his parents from giving up hope, his descent into the substance abuse that held him captive for so long, and ultimately the rescue he didn't think was possible but embraced with open arms.

A compelling, honest story of God's unconditional love, grace, and redemption, Rescue Story shares the intimate journey of a beloved music artist and challenges you to seek resilient hope in the trials of your own life--because Jesus offers real freedom and joy, despite the mistakes of your past.

kirk cameron endorsement for rescue me by zach williams

"This is a hard yet wonderful and inspiring book to read."

Zach Williams definitely has a story to tell. As hard as it was for him and those around him during his worst times, his words shine a light on hope and the realization that nothing and no one is ever lost in the eyes and the hands of God. God does work in strange and mysterious ways, and he performed a miracle by transforming Zach into who I believe he is meant to be now. Zach is a great talent and a great inspiration for millions, including me. This is a hard yet wonderful and inspiring book to read.

Dolly Parton

"A powerful and inspirational experience."

As a fan of his music, as his friend, and as a brother in Christ, I’m proud of my buddy Zach Williams. If his songs have spoken to your heart the way they have mine, then I know his memoir Rescue Story is going to be a powerful and inspirational experience for you.

Chris Pratt, actor, producer

"The humility in this book gives a proud reader like me full permission to need a savior."

I need to be surrounded by people who are brave enough to be vulnerable. In these pages, Zach points to his Rescuer and not his own understanding. The humility in this book gives a proud reader like me full permission to need a savior.

Walker Hayes, multi-platinum recording artist

"A deeply personal telling of his own creation, fall, redemption, and restoration."

Failure is not final, and our faults don’t define us. Zach Williams’s new book is a deeply personal telling of his own creation, fall, redemption, and restoration, set to a story and song that will ignite an old church choir singing in your soul, hands raised, reminding you that God does not treat us according to our flawed performance but is forever committed to us because of His unfailing love, demonstrated by the blood of Jesus Christ.

I read this book in 2 days & that’s saying something because I read like 4-5 books at a time while reading my daily devotional and my Bible. But I couldn’t put it down. I love how patiently his parents waited for him to return to our Lord. I have a prodigal son who doesn’t talk to me anymore. I wish I could have maybe shown him more grace like they did & he & my grandchildren would still be in my life & not moved 9 hours away from me. God is on every page in that book. Zach is surely a vessel for God’s Holy Words and his songs are true. He does have a heart for God & he’s still a wretched sinner just like you & me. The difference is he’s now doing the will of His Father in heaven & he’s living to further God’s Kingdom. He’s an inspiration & I pray my sons listen to God wooing them because they just break my heart. Thank you for being obedient to our Lord. I pray God uses me for His glory too💜

Wow. Zach’s music has been an anthem of inspiration for our men’s ministry for years. His words in “Rescue Story” of healing, redemption and freedom in Christ will ring true with so many that have tried and failed to fill themselves with worldly things in order to cope with failures and setbacks in life. The conversation with his father brought a tear to my eye. How he and Crystal overcame their struggles through grace gives hope for those marriages that seem to be at the end of their rope. Zach, thanks for being so real, transparent and bringing your life to the table for all to see, to relate and to learn the power of Christ when we let go and focus on HIM in us. We need more churches in our country to lead from your example with your message of hope and grace. Thank you for this wonderful read.

This book shows the power of prayer and gives so much encouragement to parents to just stay the course and keep praying for your children. It also shows the blessings that you’ll receive when you put your faith and trust in the Lord.
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024
It's an understatement to say this book is important. It's a modern-day picture of God's unrelenting love. It's a heartbreaking, albeit beautiful story of how the same God that raised Jesus from the dead took a broken and angry young man and turned him into a psalmist who now points millions of people to Christ. It's the right book at the right time. Our culture needs this powerful book and testimony.

I’ve been a fan since I first heard Chainbreaker. I love how honest and raw Zach’s songs are. As I read his story, I felt like I was there with him because he shared the intimate details of all of his struggles. We’ve all been there though our struggles are different the truth is that Jesus is there with us, just waiting. I am so glad that Zach answered his calling. His music touches my heart every time at just the right time. As I finished this book, Fear Is a Liar was playing on the radio. That’s no coincidence. We have nothing to fear. In all that we go through and will go through, there was and is Jesus.

This book is simply written which I appreciate … Zach’s own words as well as his wife’s and parents’. It has moved me to reflect on my own rescue story 30 years ago and has encouraged me to not give up hope for someone I love deeply. I truly appreciate the perspectives of all who shared their stories in this book. Thank you, Zach, Crystal, Jenna and Steve. Thank you, God.
