Battle with Depression and Help From a Tiny Friend Bring Pastor Closer to God

(RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif.) – Cuccia and his wife found an injured hummingbird and spent one week providing constant care and forging a strong, transformative bond before relinquishing it to a conservation expert. Using the bird they named Hope as a symbol for his own path from wounded and fallen to healed and freed, Cuccia tells his story in Hope, Lessons from a Hummingbird: A Redemptive Adventure of how a regular guy got free from depression and rage.

As Hope made strides to wellness and freedom, Cuccia wrestled with dark memories and hurtful actions that jeopardized his marriage and his faith. He uses personal anecdotes and biblical scripture to chronicle how even a man filled with rage and self-loathing like him can be free from fear and failures. Cuccia’s journey illustrates how the smallest bit of light can make all the difference, and how a frail hummingbird spiritually transformed a man.

Cuccia has more than 30 years experience in education and public speaking. A former church pastor, he has also worked as a corporate sales trainer. Currently the CFO of a dental implant company, he and his wife live in Rancho Santa Margarita, California.
