FOR THE GUY WHO THINKS
HE'S TOO FAR GONE.
AND THE ONE WHO'S
TIRED OF TRYING HARDER.

You are never alone.

I grew up a pastor’s kid with all the right answers and a whole lot of secrets.

On the inside, I was the guy who thought he was too far gone. On the outside, I was the guy working hard to look like he had it all together. I kept that up for ten years.

"Nothing, I'm fine."

I was thirteen when something happened to me that I didn’t tell anyone about for nine years. When Mum asked if I was okay, I said, “Nothing. I’m fine.” That became my catchphrase for the next ten years.

I pushed it down and kept busy. And I believed God had walked away from me that day.

The first person I ever told was Cathy. She didn’t say much. She just put her arms around me and held on for a long time. That was the first time I really felt the grace of God.

Years later, God showed me what I’d missed all along. I had never been alone. Not even then.

That’s why I wrote my first book.
