Life is rarely simple, and it almost never follows the plan we imagine.
In Life According to Deryck, Deryck Coetzer reflects on the experiences that shaped his life-growing up in South Africa, building a career, raising a family, and navigating the many unexpected turns that life can bring.
Along the way there were challenges, some small and some life-altering, including a serious eye condition that threatened both his vision and his livelihood. Yet this memoir is not a story of hardship alone. It is equally a story of humour, curiosity, relationships, and the quiet satisfaction that comes from solving problems and moving forward one step at a time.
Written with honesty and reflection, Deryck shares lessons learned through both adversity and ordinary life. Through it all runs a consistent theme: a deep belief that God's grace can be found not only in life's biggest battles, but also in its everyday moments.
Life According to Deryck is a thoughtful and often surprising look at resilience, faith, and a life lived fully-imperfectly, but with purpose.
