Nathan Wilson knows what it feels like to hit rock bottom. He has walked through years of heartache, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. Grief was his constant companion. But in the middle of that darkness, God did not send a program or a pill. He sent the holy scriptures.

Today, Nathan devotes his life to helping others find the same grace that pulled him out of the pit. He has earned a Master of Divinity degree and is currently completing a Doctorate in Ministry. But his real credentials are not on a wall. They are written in the lives he has counseled and the believers he has discipled toward the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

Nathan credits his father, Kenneth Wilson, for teaching him how to live out the Christian life. His dad’s words still echo: “If it’s worth doing, do it right the first time,” and “Believing in something is important, but it’s what you do with what you believe that changes people.” Nathan also thanks his wife, Brenda, whose continual encouragement pushed him to finish this book.

He does not write from an ivory tower. He writes from the trenches. Every page of Out of Control carries the weight of a man who has been broken and rebuilt. Nathan currently teaches and writes with one goal: to help believers overcome setbacks and live righteously in a world that has forgotten the fear of God.
