In his own words

Why I wrote it

I've told my story before, in bits and pieces. A piece to my wife. A piece to a friend at two in the morning. But I'd never told it all at once, in order, until a small group at my church in Texas heard it and told me the same thing, more or less all at once: "You should write a book."

So I did. I didn't research it. I lived it.

Some chapters wrote themselves in a day. Others took months. The hardest ones were the ones where I'm the villain. I left those in anyway, because a memoir that only flatters its author isn't worth the paper it's printed on. It also has a lot of people who showed up for me when they didn't have to, and more than a few things that still make me laugh.

This is my first book. I wrote it for my kids, so they'll always understand where they came from. And I wrote it for you, if you're in the middle of your own story right now, in the part that doesn't make sense yet.

Grace found me long before I was ready for it. Maybe it already found you too.
