I wrote these from the other side of having everything come into the light.
I did not write these books from a place of having it figured out. For years I kept things hidden beneath the surface. I was active in church, functional in life — and quietly leading a double life.
When it collapsed, what followed was not just a season of recovery but a process of discovering what I had believed about myself, where those beliefs came from, and what it actually means to be defined by Christ rather than by what I have done.
That process became The Apology You Owe. The system it produced became Living in the Light. The third book — Beside, Not Above — completes the arc, with my wife Cindy contributing a chapter in her own voice, and the Companion Workbook turns the Path into daily practice. My work is not built on theory. It is built on lived experience and the unfailing faithfulness of God to complete what He begins.
I live in the Dallas, Texas area with Cindy. I am active in recovery ministry and Bible study, and everything I write is aimed at one thing: helping men move from managing their lives to living in truth.
