No More Superman — Awaken Him: A Memoir

No More Superman — Awaken Him is Eric Padilla’s deeply personal testimony of what happens when strength becomes a hiding place.

From a little boy growing up in Brooklyn searching for identity and belonging, to Crazy Eddie, husband, father, first responder, Christian leader, and eventually the man everyone believed could handle anything, Eric learned how to wear many versions of the same cape.

But underneath the strength were wounds, insecurity, secrecy, the need to be needed, and parts of himself he had never learned how to face.

This memoir tells the story of the cape coming off.

It is a story about faith, marriage, betrayal, confession, accountability, forgiveness, rebuilding, identity, and the grace of Jesus Christ.

No More Superman is not the story of a perfect man. It is the story of a man learning that real strength is not pretending you never need help.

It is the invitation to stop hiding behind the image, tell the truth, and awaken the man underneath the cape.
