Your Journey To Healing Starts Here
Welcome to the official shop for Rising From The Ashes. Here, you will find the complete body of work that defines our mission: truth, healing, and the courage to rise after life breaks you.
The journey begins with the Rising From The Ashes Trilogy:
-
We Will Stone Him — the raw, unfiltered account of survival and the fight to reclaim your truth.
-
The Beast Inside — a deep exploration of trauma’s aftermath and the battle to rebuild identity.
-
A Life Well Lived — the turning point where healing becomes possible, hope returns, and life begins to open again.
These three books form the backbone of the Rising From The Ashes mission—an honest, unflinching look at trauma, recovery, and the long road toward wholeness.
Standing beside them is:
- Rise Up and Walk — a separate, stand‑alone memoir born from a different season of life. This book is not part of the trilogy. It is a spiritual awakening, a declaration of forward motion, and the story of choosing faith after surviving what should have ended you. It represents the rise, not from trauma, but into purpose.
Together, these four books offer a full spectrum of truth: the breaking, the reckoning, the rebuilding, and the calling to walk boldly into the life God has set before you.
Discover the work that launched a movement, and begin your own path toward understanding, healing, and reclaiming your story.
Books Available By The Author John Gambacorta On Amazon
We Will Stone Him is more than just a book; it' is a raw, unfiltered trauma memoir about surviving childhood abuse, emotional manipulation, and the lifelong wounds that follow. This true story marks the beginning of the Rising From The Ashes Trilogy, chronicling Gambacorta's survivor’s journey through trauma, resilience, and the fight to reclaim identity after years of psychological harm. It is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the depths of human endurance, the power of truth, and consequences of betrayal.
The Beast Within picks up where the first memoir leaves off, but the battlefield has changed. No longer a child trying to survive a chaotic home, Gambacorta is now a man shaped by it, carrying wounds that never healed, beliefs he never chose, and emotional reflexes forged in the dark. The pain that once hid in the shadows erupts in adulthood, influencing relationships, identity, and the way he exists in the world. This memoir is not about external enemies, but unflinching look at the internal pain trauma creates.
A Life Well Lived concludes the trilogy as Gambacorta reflects on the long road from survival to transformation. Now living in Arizona with his wife, he writes from a place of clarity earned through pain, humility, forgiveness and relentless self‑examination. The quiet desert sunsets become a backdrop for deep reflection, on the man he was, the man he hurt, and the man he is still becoming. This memoir is not a victory lap. It is a study in rebuilding: the slow, deliberate work of learning to trust, to soften, and to forgive.
Rise Up And Walk is a stand‑alone trauma memoir about choosing faith in the aftermath of pain, loss, and the long, uneven work of healing. It is not part of the Rising From The Ashes Trilogy, rather this book marks a new season of life, written from a place of spiritual awakening and forward movement. In his book Gambacorta steps beyond survival and into calling. After years of trauma, grief, and rebuilding, this memoir captures the moment when healing becomes more than emotional work, it becomes spiritual clarity.
A Quiet Excavation Of Truth
We Will Stone Him
Reminiscent of the impactful A Child Called It, book one, We Will Stone Him, part of the Rising From The Ashes Trilogy, began as author John Gambacorta's private attempt to understand the parts of his life that never made sense in the moment; the extreme abuse, the fractures, the shadows, the accusations that reshaped everything he thought he knew. What you will find here is not a dramatic retelling, but a quiet excavation. John Gambacorta wrote this memoir to reclaim his voice he lost along the way, offering profound insights into healing and self-discovery.
The Beast Within
Reminiscent of works that confront the hidden aftermath of trauma, The Beast Within, book two of the Rising From The Ashes Trilogy, continues John Gambacorta’s private excavation into the parts of himself shaped not by what was done to him, but by what trauma left behind. This memoir is not a tale of villains, it is an intimate confrontation with the internal creature born from years of silence, rage, and emotional dislocation. What you will find here is not a confession, but a reckoning. Gambacorta wrote this book to understand the war inside his own mind, offering profound insight into the ways trauma reshapes identity—and the courage required to face the darkness within.
A Life Well Lived
Echoing the quiet resilience found in memoirs of renewal, A Life Well Lived, book three of the Rising From The Ashes Trilogy, reflects John Gambacorta’s attempt to understand what healing actually looks like when the past refuses to disappear. This is not a triumphant victory lap, it is a careful study of rebuilding, of learning to breathe again, of discovering meaning in places once marked by pain. What you will find here is not a celebration, but a restoration. Gambacorta wrote this memoir to explore the slow, deliberate work of reclaiming peace, offering deeply personal insights into forgiveness, growth, and the fragile beauty of choosing hope.
Rise Up And Walk
In the tradition of memoirs that explore faith, awakening, and purpose, Rise Up And Walk stands apart from the trilogy as a completely independent work. Written in a different season of John Gambacorta’s life, this memoir began as a private reflection on the moments when God interrupts the narrative we thought we were living. What you will find here is not a continuation of trauma, but a declaration. Gambacorta wrote this book to chronicle the shift from survival to calling, offering profound insights into spiritual clarity, surrender, and the decision to walk boldly into the life God intended.
