Ricky McAddock
Synopsis "Street Connect His-Story. From the Depths of Addiction to a Movement of Hope"
Street Connect: His-Story is a gripping and hope-filled testimony of God’s power to rescue, rebuild, and repurpose even the most broken of lives. From the depths of addiction and near destruction to the founding of a national ministry, Ricky McAddock’s journey is a vivid demonstration of grace in action.
Ricky’s early life was marked by chaos, pain, and a desperate search for meaning. Yet his story did not end there. In the very dust and ashes of his lowest moments, God stooped down and began a work of transformation that would not only redeem Ricky but ignite a calling that would touch countless others. Together with his wife, Julie, Ricky took one faith-filled step after another, eventually birthing Street Connect—a ministry now reaching the most marginalised across the UK with compassion, courage, and the hope of the gospel.
This book offers an unfiltered look at the battles that shaped Ricky, the inner healing that restored him, and the Spirit-led obedience that continues to guide his life and leadership. Endorsed by leaders across the nation—from Teen Challenge UK to Bethany Christian Trust, from Glasgow City Mission to Transforming Lives for Good—Ricky’s story is repeatedly described as “raw hope,” “amazing grace,” “a powerful testimony,” and “a journey every church needs to hear.”
More than a memoir, Street Connect: His Story is a reminder that no one is beyond the reach of God’s love and no past is too broken to be used for His glory. For anyone who feels disqualified, discarded, or defeated, this book rekindles the truth that God still lifts the needy from the ashes and leads ordinary people into extraordinary purpose.
If you’re longing for hope…if you’re searching for calling…this story will stir your faith and show you what’s possible through Jesus.
