I love you more than words can say.

Im so thankful to be Rodney Copelands son.

Foreword

I will never forget where I came from. When my boxing career began to soar, my moral standards started to nosedive. I gave in to one too many temptationsand because of the heaviness of my sin I became shackled with shame. I found myself overwhelmed and overworked by great darkness with no sense of hope. Despite the glamour of the spotlight, I found myself quite often lost in the shadows of a lukewarm Christian life. Although I had strong drive and a noble dream, sadly God wasnt my priority. I went to church on Sunday morning, but by Monday night I was right back in my routine of getting drunk and gambling. I never took a moment to reflect on who I was hurting. I was simply stuck in my mess . I was immoral and drunk many nights before I ever felt any sorrow or remorse about it. I knew that none of it would ever satisfy the deepest longings of my soul. I just found myself more confused about what the true meaning of life was. Being one of the highest-paid athletes in the world in 2012 still didnt help light up the darkness in my soul. The old saying is true: money cant buy happiness.
