The final 5 years of Elvis Presley's life were filled with his greatest triumphs and his toughest tribulations, as the iconic star fought a war with addiction he would tragically lose at the age of 42.

Though surrounded by those who loved him and revered around the globe, Elvis battled the demons of fame, depression and loss, and those demons eventually proved too strong a foe. Despite the efforts of his family and friends, Elvis Presley eventually succumbed to his addiction on August 16, 1977, leaving a trail of devastation and loss felt worldwide to this day.

Broken Vessel is David E. Stanley’s personal story and powerful testimony of God’s unshakable love, grace, and redemption. This haunting memoir follows David through the broken years of his life, growing up with his stepbrother Elvis Presley, his calling to ministry at the tender age of 12, and his surrender to that ministry in the destructive years that followed Elvis' death. It details how David suffered desperately from depression and unworthiness, abandoning the ministry and running from God - believing God couldn't possibly have use of such a damaged soul. But most of all, Broken Vessel is the story of God’s undying love for us, and how through His Son Jesus Christ, we can be forgiven, healed and restored to fulfill His glorious purpose in our lives.
