THE PROBLEM

REST ISN'T FIXING IT

You have tried the vacation, the boundaries, the earlier nights. Nothing holds. That is because exhaustion was never the real problem. Ownership was.

A LIMITED OPPORTUNITY

ONLY ONE HUNDRED WILL EVER BE NUMBERED

The first one hundred copies of Apart From Me will be individually numbered and personally inscribed on the title page with your name, my signature, and a unique number from 1 to 100.

Once copy 100 is claimed, the numbering ends permanently. Every copy that follows may be signed, but none will ever be numbered.

Personal packages include one numbered copy. Organizational packages include five.

CHOOSE HOW YOU’D LIKE TO BE PART OF IT

Every physical package includes hand-signed copies, your name in the acknowledgments, access to the virtual launch event, and standard U.S. shipping.

*Books arrive March–April 2027.

Every package includes
free shipping in the U.S.

I THOUGHT I HAD TO HOLD IT ALL TOGETHER

Years ago, after my business collapsed, I found myself on the floor of a small apartment in San Antonio, surrounded by debts I could not cover and problems I could not solve.

That night, I finally admitted the truth:

“I am not okay. God, I need You.”

I thought I was burned out. The deeper problem was that I had been living, leading, and building as if I were the source.

I never was.

“Apart from me you can do nothing.”

That truth did not remove my responsibilities. It transformed how I carried them.

WHAT CHANGES WHEN GOD IS THE SOURCE

Burnout is rarely just exhaustion. It begins when responsibility quietly becomes ownership and you start living as if everything depends on you. The Book Apart From Me will help you:

PUT THE
CROWN DOWN

Carry what God has entrusted to you without assuming responsibility for outcomes that belong to Him.

LEAD AS A
CO-CREATOR

Build with God instead of making your own plans and asking Him to bless them afterward.

RECOVER THE PACE OF GRACE

Distinguish faithful urgency from anxious hurry so you can move decisively without outrunning God.

BREAK FREE FROM SCARCITY

Recognize when fear, comparison, and insecurity are making decisions for you.

COME FULLY ALIVE AGAIN

Recover the joy, presence, gratitude, and sustainable fire that constant performance slowly consumes.
