Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have a passion to encourage and guide others through practical steps that help them grow in their faith and activate change in their lives. I am a family man from the Midwest with a background in education. In 2015, I founded Changed Through Faith Ministries, a nonprofit organization that helps people grow closer to God. I loves God, family, and baseball. I have been married 29 years to the love of my life and have 2 great kids who are now young adults. I have written four books, all in the category of Christian Inspiration/Christian Living. Connect with me at changedthroughfaith.com and brian@ctfaith.com.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Changed Through Faith: Four Steps to Activating a Life of Peace, Purpose, and Fulfillment, along with its companion book Changed Through Faith Action Plan. The inspiration for this book came from the fact that I had read many great books about faith development and growing our relationship with God, but they often lacked the “How do I do it?” component. They often lacked practical application steps in our daily lives. That is why I wrote this book: to provide an easy-to-remember formula of faith development that is practical and can be applied daily in our lives.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
When I am journaling, I can only do that effectively with a physical pen and lined journal pages. However, when I am writing (i.e. blog posts, book, etc), I can only do so at a keyboard on a computer.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Author: Pat Gano. Book: The Language of Heaven: 5 Gifts That Create Legacy
Author: Steven Furtick. All of his books, especially Sun Stand Still.
Author: RT Kendall. Book: Total Forgiveness.
What are you working on now?
I have taught Changed Through Faith and the companion 30-day CTFaith Action Plan (Journal/Workbook) as a course live and am looking to do more of that as a 9-week small-groups program. I also am working on increasing exposure to my free online curriculum on CTFaith and daily devotionals on my website, changedthroughfaith.com.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
changedthroughfaith.com
(I am new to promotion, so I do not have any advice on successful methods at this time)
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I am a relatively new author. I would say be true to yourself. Don’t try to imitate or be someone else.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Truly appreciate what you have instead of being disappointed about what you don’t have.
