Synopsis

I was clean for four years when I got out of prison. I had a home, a truck, and my children in my life. Then I met up with an old friend and used again that night. What I told myself would happen just once became years of addiction and another trip to prison.
I Keep Running Back is my honest story of meth addiction, relapse, the people I hurt, and the faith that changed the direction of my life. I won't pretend that one prayer erased the consequences. I had to face what I had done, learn to surrender to God, and keep choosing a different way to live. This book is for anyone who keeps returning to something they know is hurting them—and for the people who love them. I write about temptation, shame, repentance, forgiveness, marriage, and learning to follow Jesus in ordinary life. If you think you've gone back too many times for God to want you, I want you to know you can turn toward Him today.
