When we turn to the Lord, He is there waiting to forgive us and give us a purpose for our lives. Unfortunately, teens and adults are surrounded by so much noise from social media, the entertainment industry, drugs, pornography, the occult, bullying, and social expectations that it is nearly impossible to hear the truth of a God who will take them as they are. This book is written to help this generation kill that noise, so that teens and adults can hear the voice of God telling them they are loved, they are wanted, and they are His. Ryan Ries is living proof of this truth. Growing up in Los Angeles, California as the son of a mega-church pastor, but surrounded by the music, skate, and snowboard industries, Ryan felt a tug-of-war between the church and the world. It was in the skate and music culture that he found his passion and his identity. So he walked away from God and dove head first into the world, losing his way in alcohol, drugs, and sex, which lead to anxiety, brokenness, and emptiness. Kill the Noise is his story about finding God in the messiness of life, even though it seemed impossible, and will help readers find Him too"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Ries, Ryan. 650 0 $a Christian biography $z United States. 650 0 $a Children of clergy $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Addicts $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Evangelists $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Young adults $x Religious life. 650 0 $a Rave culture $z Los Angeles. $z Los Angeles. 650 0 $a Sex addiction $z United States. 650 0 $a Drug addiction $z United States. 941 $a 2 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210702010510.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210602012312.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C1EFAC9AC36A11EBBDEE4DF25BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
