The Faith-Hope-Love Series

The Valley of the Shadow of Death: A Memoir of Hope for the Depressed and Grieving

In January of 2017, I had a panic attack that left me suicidal. The experience left me existing in a haze for months, trying to figure out reasons to keep living. This book is the story of how I dealt with depression and the loss of my mother. It’s a first hand look at some of the hardest years of my life.

In this book I attempt to tackle some of life’s biggest and darkest questions:

What is the point of living if it’s all going to be gone one day anyway?
How can we ever know if God really exists?
What does God really expect from us?
How can we ever get over the loss of someone we loved so much?

These topics and more are fleshed out as I weave them into the story of how I went from the brink of suicide to a new way of living life. It’s the journey that we all face: how do we cope with the human condition? I am not going to pretend to tell you how to deal with your loss. I am only sharing how I am dealing with mine.

This is my story, and I share it because I want you to know that you are not alone in your grief. That we all grieve together in our own special way. I offer my insights as comfort and guidance for your own journey. Click here to go to the Amazon page…

But he quickly realizes that he can’t save her himself, or it will create a paradox.

Is Eric really trying to make the world a better place? Or is he selfishly trying to save the woman he loves?

This sci-fi thriller is packed full of action. Car chases, heists, explosions, chaos…each chapter takes you deeper into the world of the Nivius and gets you closer to understanding the time traveler’s true regret. Click here to go to the Amazon page…
