About the Book
Book: Mending the Net
Author: Dr. J. Doug Stringer
Genre: RELIGION / Christian Ministry/General
Release Date: February 9, 2021
In 1981, Doug Stringer was a fitness instructor with his own exercise studio. He knew there was a God, but he lived as if God didn’t exist. Tired of his own hypocrisy, disgusted with his life, he sat down in the back room of his studio one night, put his head in his hands, and prayed: “Lord, if You can use someone like me after all I have done to wound Your heart, I make myself available to You.”
What happened soon afterward started a ministry that reaches out to thousands of lost and hurting people around the world.
Mending the Net: Bringing Hope in a Hurting World is the story of Doug’s ministry from its humble beginnings until today. Obviously, much else has changed in the world since then. Doug himself has changed, having gone through a battle with stage four cancer. Doug’s wife, Lisa, wrote the book God Did Not Do This to Me to share their trials and triumphs through that cancer journey.
But what hasn’t changed is Doug’s undefeatable spirit and love for others, which shine through in his books, his ministry, and everything he touches.

I have no text on this. The author is suddenly rewriting large chunks of the text. All I have is a note from him:
This book (Mending the Net) will be available February 2021, but the message is so needed today. Regardless of how the elections turn out, we, the church, must Spread the Net, Wash the Net, MEND the NET, and Cast the Net together…if we are to bring healing and hope, and see a mighty harvest…
Doug resides in the greater Houston area with his wife, Lisa, and daughter, Ashley.

My Review:
Mending the Net: Bringing Hope in a Hurting World is a great read. I enjoyed reading about Doug’s journey in how he came to know God. He used his faith in helping others and continue to do so with his organization. I was inspired by how he got to where he is now. He has really used his true calling in giving others who are lost, broken or in need, the guidance they need. His ministry is one that does not turn anyone away and does so without judgement. Such a beautiful story.
Mending the Net: Bringing Hope in a Hurting World will be getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading inspiring stories full of faith.
I received Mending the Net: Bringing Hope in a Hurting World from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
Great review, sounds good.
