Heroic Disgrace: Order out of chaos. Hope out of fear. ― A Worship Hero Story

“I am extremely confident this book will hit home for many people impacted by mental illnesses and are looking for hope.”- Brian Head Welch

About The Author

Worship leader Scott Box’s first book, Heroic Disgrace, details his journey through bipolar disorder and how it taught him to live out worship rather than just leading it. Box’s first-hand experience offers hope for anyone whose life has been impacted by mental illness.

Scott had been a successful worship leader for 25 years, externally proclaiming the love of God. Internally, his world was in chaos, consumed by the sick thought patterns of bipolar disorder. “I was desperate,” Box freely admits. “That desperation could have driven me in one of two directions: it could have driven me to end it all or into friendship with Jesus and hope. Instead, it became hope bound up in desperation. That’s what Jesus does.” Ultimately, that desperate hopefulness drove him to lay down vocational worship leading to the pursuit of wholeness. Box’s recovery became a way of living out the resurrection in his own life.

“The Great Hero, Jesus Christ, makes healthy what He does not heal. I am proof,” Box earnestly shares. “Health is always an option, even when healing is not God’s plan. There is always hope.”

“Heroic Disgrace is truly a remarkable story about one man’s fight to find authentic freedom. I am extremely confident this book will change many lives.”

Brian “Head” Welch, co-founder of the Grammy Award-winning band Korn and New York Times best-selling author of Save Me From Myself.

Jesus Christ, the Great Hero, redefined and reframed my understanding of health despite my chemical imbalances and mental sickness. Heroic Disgrace is the lifestyle He taught me.” —Scott W. Box

Scott’s story of mental illness and his life journey through it is unique in his willingness to share the raw emotions. Love the stories of his family, his marriage and their family. It is emotional on so many levels but will be helpful for many and their families to have a better understanding on mental illness and give them great hope for a future. Also being a believer in Jesus a Christ, I know personally the true Hope He brings to our lives. Loved it. Left me wanting to know more.

Scott uses his great voice to bring insight into difficult mental health struggles. He’s passionate and compassionate, and his perspective is really helpful for those of us that struggle by proxy with similar issues, yet lack the personal understanding we need. Very vulnerable and straight-forward in an arena where most of us would be reserved and reticent to share.
