A new year often brings with it a sense of new beginnings. A chance to reflect. A chance to listen again. A chance to step into what the Lord may be calling us to now.

For many years, people have encouraged me to write my story. I was never sure what to do with that. It has taken quite some time to believe that, in some small way, my story could help others. By God’s grace, I think the time has come, and I share this with humility and a grateful heart.

What has emerged is not just one book, but a journey.

A series of books… called The Life That Matters, The Warrior’s Way. It was born out of years of prayer, suffering, restoration, and formation, and out of a deep desire to help people live the lives they were created for in Christ. The journey unfolds through three books:

• The Wind, The Breath That Awakens
• The Forge, The Fire That Forms
• The Target, The Life That Matters

Together, these books tell one story. A story of being awakened by God’s breath, formed through obedience and surrender, and aligned toward a life that matters for the King and His kingdom. The first book, The Wind, The Breath that Awakens, lays the foundation for everything that follows.

Those of you who know my story will recognize much of what shaped these pages. Seasons of suffering that refined. Grace that restored. Breath that returned. This book was written from the inside of that journey, not as a conclusion, but as an invitation to walk faithfully as the Lord continues His work.

The e-book version of The Wind, The Breath That Awakens, is already available on Amazon, and the printed copies will be released on January 28.

If I could ask one thing as this journey begins, it would be this. If you would consider reading the e-book version over the coming weeks, your honest review would be a meaningful help. Reviews help others discern whether a book is worth their time, and having those in place before the printed release would be a gift I am deeply grateful for. No obligation. Just gratitude.

This book is only one part of a larger work of formation the Lord has asked of me, centered on helping people live a life that matters for Christ and advances His kingdom faithfully.

Thank you for walking with me through the years. My prayer is that this new season encourages us all to live with greater faithfulness, obedience, and purpose before the Lord.
