Welcome to the award-winning The Hill Country Authors Podcast. In this podcast, Hill Country resident Tom Fox visits with authors who live and write up the Texas Hill Country. In this episode, I visit with James Horkey, the Hill Country’s most recent first-time author.
Horkey’s story and his book From My Own Prison to Redemption: Healing for the Wounded is a story of survival and victory; it follows the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery of a man who was led to drug and alcohol addiction and dysfunctional interactions as a coping mechanism resulting from trauma suffered as a child. Determined to break the cycle and help others as others have helped him, Horkey’s honest and heartfelt memoir offers hope to those suffering—be it the addict or their friends and family—that there is life beyond addiction and no one is out of reach when God is invited into our lives to perform his miracles.
Horkey relates the steps he took to find sobriety, from finding the courage to acknowledge his disease and seeking healing to living a joyful, prayerful, peaceful life in recovery. Perhaps, if you’re ready, begin a healing journey.
Horkey has a heart to serve, especially in helping those with addiction by working with them through a 12-step program. He has spent years sharing his experiences, strength, and hope with individuals, 12-step groups, hospitals and institutions, and prison ministry.
