Sexual abuse. Heroin addiction. A childhood lost and a life nearly ended. He Calls Me Redeemed is a raw and gripping memoir of pain, addiction, and the redeeming power of faith.
In He Calls Me Redeemed, Arman explores his past at the intersection of faith, addiction, abuse, family, culture, and death. He walks the reader through his life, typical in some ways but painted with a unique touch of Armenian culture and the harsh realities of sexual abuse in his drug-rich Jersey Shore community. As a boy, he tries to manage the pain of being sexually abused while stumbling toward manhood. Young Arman looks up to his loving father. His father, however, holds a tragic secret inside. His father's struggles foreshadow his own path, culminating in gripping drug addiction and crime.
The depths of Arman's addiction and anguish make rock bottom hard to reach. Hopeless and on the verge of suicide, Arman begs to be saved from his pain. It's at that exact moment the love of God transforms him. What follows is an exploration of self on the other side of pain, which presents its own challenges. Despite his spiritual salvation and redemption, Arman reinforces the imagery of physical scars as he describes more heartbreak. Luckily for the reader, the final message is one of hope as the boy and son become a man and father, flawed and scarred but Redeemed.
A hotel on the beach served as a literal home for young Arman. In He Calls Me Redeemed, he takes us through his past via rooms, each containing salient memories and insights. The rooms are intimate, each having a look into his soul as he encounters family history, culture, religion, sex, drugs, death, and fatherhood. Arman's appeal as an author is his ability to lay his naked truth on the pages without condition. He remains accountable throughout, allowing us to read his vividly detailed experiences as they were. He is not seeking redemption from the reader; we can simply take in his powerful story.
Walk through the rooms of Arman Kaymakcian's life in this vividly detailed, emotionally charged memoir. Witness the intersection of faith, family, and addiction as Arman stumbles toward manhood in the wake of childhood sexual trauma. He Calls Me Redeemed lays bare the naked truth-no holds barred. An unflinching portrayal of the darkest depths of human experience and the triumph of the human spirit. Scroll up and grab your copy today.
