The book that can change your approach to faith:

After discovering a serious heart condition almost too late, I took a big risk and dove head-first into some long-held faith questions. Turns out, the questions are the three questions every life must confront. When we get detoured in life, these questions demand to be addressed. This book is a years-long effort to give voice to those questions in the form of 40 essays. In just a few minutes a day, you can acknowledge the question and leave with a newfound trust in a God who often doesn’t behave as we’d like…or expect.

My Story

In late 2015, my story broke into two pieces: pre-diagnosis and post-diagnosis. Despite otherwise pristine health and a solid faith, I almost died from heart failure from an unknown cause. Against all medical odds, I survived. But my condition is incurable.
