My Truth

For most of his life, the author assumed that dreaming was something other people did. He felt broken and kept undermining himself at every opportunity, and he settled into a comfortable rut instead of reaching for more. Only later did he understand that the root of the problem had been inside him all along. Raised in a household marked by dysfunction, he learned to keep quiet about what went on at home and to accept chaos as normal. Looking back, he saw that outward polish means little when a person is empty within, and that real change has to start from the inside out.

He shares his story in My Ten Days, Ten Words, a reflective memoir about his life before and after he came to Christ. He is candid about the damage he carried: he drank to numb his pain, and he went through three marriages in an attempt to fill a void left by a lack of love and self-worth. Rather than offering tidy answers, he describes how God reshaped his understanding of who he is, and how he came to see that the foundation for his change had been there the whole time, hidden beneath the wreckage.

The book also looks at the hidden seed of potential in everyone, illustrated through familiar figures such as a teacher who greets each day with a smile, athletes who stay composed in interviews, and a long-serving employee who still looks forward to work. Throughout, the author gives readers permission to heal, to pursue a fuller life, and to dream again. He writes for anyone who feels stuck, self-defeating, or unable to trust the path God has laid out for them, and he invites them into a ten-day journey of reflection.
