I am so thankful for this book. John invites us to join him in a beautiful conversation about the one thing that's needful. In these pages, you'll discover how anything—a dead cell phone, a recreational vehicle, even a romantic comedy—can offer you a way to grow in simple grace. I consider it a great blessing to fellowship with a conversationalist and wordsmith like John. Take a deep breath and relax into this exploration of how God wants to bless you along The Way.

While I can't endorse everything done today in God's name, I do respect someone who's on a journey for truth like me, someone who invites others to consider spirituality with a gentle tone and accepting heart. Unto Life is amazingly beautiful with descriptions that are rich and sumptuous. But most importantly, its spirituality is infused with love.

From the author who helped us redefine the things that really matter comes an inspired and beautifully written opportunity to see God's hand at work everywhere we turn. Unto Life is more than a journey, and more than an observation from a spiritual view. It's uplifting, relatable, with authentic stories from a master storyteller, reminding us to stop and appreciate all that God has done. With the turn of each page, you'll see how every detail in the world around you was designed for your good.
