Breaking
Walls
A memoir of addiction, trauma, faith, and the quiet victories that rebuilt a life one day
at a time — by Daniel L. Rampke.

Come Back from One Life
In Breaking Walls, Daniel Rampke opens the door to the most difficult chapters of his life — addiction, trauma, loss, and the long road back to hope.
With remarkable honesty, he explores the moments that nearly destroyed him, the faith that sustained him, and the quiet victories that rebuilt his life one day at a time.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”Psalm 147:3

A Life Rebuilt in the Cold and the Light
Daniel L. Rampke writes from Alaska about the things most people only whisper: relapse, grief, faith that flickers, and the stubborn work of staying. He speaks to recovery communities, churches, campuses, and families who are still waiting on someone to come home.
