Life According to Deryck

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.
