WRESTLING WITH GOD
A Theological Testimony of Surrender, Forgiveness, and the God Who Stayed
(Part of The Testimony of Dr. Justin Goldstonseries)

There are nights when you can’t outrun God.

In Wrestling with God, Dr. Justin Goldston shares the lived experience that changed everything—his breaking point in Berkeley, California, where a hotel room became an altar and the Word of God became unavoidable. What began as pressure became surrender. What began as fear became reverence. And what began as pain became a testimony written for one purpose: that his suffering might turn into peace for someone else.

This book is Judeo-Christian at its core—anchored in Scripture at the start of every chapter—and written as both confession and roadmap: the path from striving to surrender, from bitterness to mercy, from performance to obedience, and from isolation to a life governed by the Word of God.

Dr. Goldston does not offer religion as decoration. He offers the hard truth that saved his life:

The only way to get to God is through forgiveness.

Not shallow forgiveness. Not denial. Not pretending it didn’t happen.
But the kind of forgiveness Jesus commands—the kind that breaks chains, ends inner war, and returns the soul to God.

Inside you’ll find:

• A 25-chapter theological journey, each chapter beginning with Scripture

• A raw testimony of wrestling with God and the surrender that followed

• A practical path for daily repentance, discipline, and obedience

• A faith framework that treats forgiveness as spiritual warfare

• A legacy-centered closing benediction written to his daughter, Sydney

Wrestling with God is for the exhausted, the grieving, the angry, the high-achieving, the spiritually stuck—anyone who has tried to carry life alone and discovered that control is not peace.

This is not a story about perfection.

It’s a story about returning.

If you’re ready to stop running, lay down the weight, and meet the God who heals what He exposes, this book will walk with you—one scripture, one surrender, one act of forgiveness at a time.

Because pain doesn’t have to be your ending.

By God’s mercy, it can become your doorway.
