  • “In this strong debut, Steve Johnson thoughtfully explorers a dynamic that so many struggle with—striving to achieve material success and financial security, while at the same time sacrificing family, faith, and what you know to be right. It serves as a wakeup call for those of us who get caught-up rationalizing behaviors and decisions that damage our relationship with those we love the most, and blind us to our need to abide in God.” “Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”

    —Tim Wentworth, CEO, Walgreens

  • “As a reader, you will find yourself drawn deeper into the story, chapter after chapter. I found myself not wanting to put the book down! I also found myself confronted with the invitation into this mysterious relationship with God. He invites us to daily walk with Him through the Holy Spirit, it is an intimate relationship beyond my spoken belief or Sunday experiences!"

    — Barry Park, Lead Pastor, University Christian Church

  • “Through multiple twists, turns and surprises in the lives of the family of four in this fictional novel, Steve addresses many contemporary issues facing families and individuals today. You will be gripped by the action and suspense of the unfolding drama and encouraged by the hope of restoration and reconciliation that can be found in Christ. Through this story we are reminded that only as we turn to the unchanging truth in the Bible that we can navigate the twists and turns of our own lives.”

    —Dale Hellevang, Former Volunteer Teaching Leader, Bible Study Fellowship

  • Benjamin Michel adds

    The Journey to Abide explores God’s profound and all-too-often-overlooked presence and operation in the grit and grind of human life. Whether through successes or failures, we humans have an unending capacity for complicating our own lives through sin, but this story serves as a compelling reminder that God is present in every circumstance, He can use every circumstance for good, and that He desires a constant, intentional, active relationship with those who belong to Him.
