  • Book cover of He Didn't Waste A Thing
    David Cote

     · 2025

    This isn't a book about trauma. It's a book about what God can do with it. David Cote grew up in chaos. Abuse, abandonment, shame, silence-it all piled on early. By the time he reached adulthood, he was a soldier, a husband, a father... and still quietly unraveling inside. For years, he thought survival meant staying silent and staying busy. Until the pain caught up. Until the silence turned into scars he could no longer hide. And until God met him in the wreckage and began to rebuild what David thought was beyond repair. He Didn't Waste a Thing is a raw, faith-centered testimony for men who've lived through pain and are tired of pretending it didn't shape them. It's not a memoir about a man who "made it" or a how-to guide on healing. It's a story of grit, failure, grace, and the quiet miracle of still standing when you thought you'd collapse. Through honest reflections and short, powerful chapters, David speaks to: Men who never learned how to talk about what hurt them Husbands and fathers who are still trying to lead while they bleed Christian men wrestling with guilt, discipline, identity, and purpose Anyone wondering if their past disqualifies them from being used by God If you've been carrying shame, hiding your story, or questioning whether God can do anything with what you've survived-this book was written for you. Because you're not broken. You're becoming. And if He didn't waste David's story... He won't waste yours either.

     · 2017

    A Primer for Souls is the culmination of a poet's life spent exploring ideas of the self, the soul, and one's own awareness. Poems are presences which, through the power of words, help us to comprehend who and what we think we are, better than we think we know - attempts to reveal provinces of awareness, aliveness and beauty, glimpsed whether in the exotic or the mundane, the overwhelming or the simple.
