About the Book
Overcomer is the story of a man who ran hard from God — through addiction, loss, rebellion, and years of hard living — and found that God never stopped running toward him.
Told across 12 chapters, this memoir doesn't clean up the mess. It sits in it. It is for anyone who has felt too far gone, too broken, or too tired to believe that something better was still possible.
"Overcoming is not survival. Survival is just not dying. Overcoming is thriving."
"The bottom is not the worst place to be. It's the only place where the pretending finally stops."
