內容簡介
內容簡介 I did not write this book because I lived everything right. I wrote it because I lived many things wrong. After losing his mother at nine years old, Nathaniel J. Cobbs carried an emptiness he did not understand. For years, he tried to silence that pain through alcohol, drugs, sexual relationships, money, anger, control, and reckless living. The result was addiction, incarceration, homelessness, broken marriages, damaged relationships, lost opportunities, and painful distance from his children. More Than Words is an honest Christian testimony about what happens when hidden pain is allowed to control a life-and what can happen when a person finally stops running, accepts responsibility, and surrenders to God. Through incarceration, recovery treatment, therapy, accountability, sobriety, prayer, and renewed faith, Nathaniel began confronting the roots of his destructive behavior. He discovered that repentance is more than an apology, faith is more than church attendance, and change is more than making another promise. Written for the hurting, addicted, incarcerated, rejected, ashamed, and anyone who believes they have gone too far to begin again, this book offers conviction without hopelessness and truth without pretending change is easy. Your past may explain where you are, but it does not have to determine where you are going. Faith must become more than words.
