Lenny LaBarbera has been passionately devoted to the Lord since gaining his newfound freedom (for a second time) in December 2021, committed to moving forward without looking back. Through God’s mercy and grace, he has completely transformed his life. Over the years, Lenny has worked as a frontline shelter worker, crisis support worker, behaviour support worker, child & youth worker, and, for the past 14.5 years, as a correctional officer. In his spare time, he enjoys hiking, reading, staying fit by going to the gym. He also devotes time to raising his teenage daughter, whom he co-parents. One of his life's missions is to draw others out of darkness into God’s marvelous light, where true freedom through the act of surrender can be found. In *I've Been There*, Lenny LaBarbera takes readers on a heartfelt journey of healing, recovery, and understanding. He emphasizes how God's love, shown through mercy and grace, combined with resilience, faith, perseverance, and surrender as the foundation, can transform even the toughest challenges in life into opportunities for growth, redemption, and renewed purpose.
