From notable mixed martial artist and UFC fighter Justin Wren comes a personal account of faith, redemption, empowerment, and overwhelming love as one man sets out on an international mission to fight for those who can’t fight for themselves.
Justin knows what it feels like to be wronged. Bullied as a child, he dreamed of becoming a UFC fighter and used his anger as fuel to propel his dream into reality. But the pain from his childhood didn’t dissipate. Instead, Justin fell into a spiral of depression and addiction, leading him on a path toward destruction. Kicked out of his training community and with no other place to go, Justin agreed to attend a men’s retreat, and it was there he found God.
As Justin began piecing his life back together, he joined several international mission trips that opened his eyes and his heart to a world filled with suffering deep in the jungle of the Democratic Republic of Congo. There he met the Mbuti Pygmy tribe, a group of people persecuted by neighboring tribes and forced into slavery. His encounter with the Pygmy tribe left him wondering who was there to help them and in that moment Justin stepped out of the ring and into a fight for the forgotten.
From cage fighter to freedom fighter, Justin’s story is a deeply personal memoir with a bigger message about a quest, justice, and the amazing things that can happen when we relinquish our lives to God.
“Justin is the truest tough guy and in one of the most grueling sports in the world. In this book he is standing up for those who are less fortunate. It’s a great book and it will inspire all who read it.”
“Fight For The Forgotten is an amazing true story of redemption, grace, and passion for justice. It will encourage you to trust God and allow Him to write the story of your life.”
“Justin Wren is a true inspiration, not only to the MMA community but to people all over the world. His story inspires me to be a better human being.”
“Justin Wren loves God and loves people and his passion is truly inspiring. He’s committed to do everything he can to help people in any way he can. His story will move you to become more of the person God created you to be and show you how you can push back darkness in the world!”
