Easy reading is hard writing

It's taken a long, long time, and the journey has been one of a thousand miles, but the work is finally done! You are probably wondering what on earth I'm talking about. Well, as a few of you may know, Steve has been working on writing a book for the past two years or so. It has been hard, unrelenting, brain-wrenching work, and after hundreds of hours of researching, editing, writing, re-writing, and editing some more, Steve has finally published his book on Amazon Kindle! We are very excited for this opportunity to reach out to and encourage our fellow believers. What is the book about, you ask? (Actually, most of you are probably wondering, "What? Steve wrote a book?")

The book is called What you are made for: A journey in learning to follow Jesus, and it details some of Steve's experiences in missions and how he has learned to deepen his relationship with Jesus. He explains what a deep, intimate relationship with Jesus is, how we can deepen our relationship with the Lord, and the effect that an intimate relationship with God has on our lives. He also talks about the importance of understanding our position "in Christ," and explains how our position in Christ practically affects our lives and our relationship with God. He does a great job of entwining his life story with Biblical truths to show how we can live out our faith and cultivate a fulfilling, meaningful, and everlasting relationship with God.

So, how is it that Steve started to write a book in the first place? He never actually intended to write a book - in fact, the idea of being an author never even crossed his mind. He started writing out of utter frustration, in an attempt to understand how his own faith is applicable to real life. A two-page journal entry turned into a 10-page paper, and after weeks of researching the Bible and Christian books (by authors such as Watchman Nee, C.S Lewis, Andrew Murray, and others), Steve began to find the answers to some of his questions. He continued to write out his thoughts and findings, and roughly 200 pages later, a book was born.

So there you have it. Steve's book What you are made for: A journey in learning to follow Jesus will be available to purchase for $3.99 on your Kindle or Kindle app on and after February 20, 2013. We hope you take a look at it and that this book will be an encouragement to you!

UPDATE (Feb. 20, 2013): You can find What you are made for: A journey in learning to follow Jesus on the Amazon US store and on the Amazon Canada store.
