In March of 1998, “Focus on the Family” radio re-broadcast
my original 1991 interviews around my first book, Healing the Masculine Soul, which pioneered the Christian men’s
movement in 1988. That same year, fully ten years after being
published, the book appeared for the first time on the “Top
50 Most Requested Religious Titles” at #30.
The good news is that my ministry is ahead of its time, and
its message of God’s truth and grace endures. In fact,
those same “Focus on the Family” interviews were
re-broadcast in June, 2002, and yet again as “classics”
in 2003 and 2008.
Being ahead of the times isn’t always easy. Both my
books Fight Like a Man and Sons of the Father were declared
out of print in 1997—even as I regularly receive letters
from around the world on how the Father has used these books
to transform lives. I have invested many years in a book manuscript,
“Broken by Religion, Healed by God,” as an appeal
to stop hiding our shame behind church factions and let Jesus
be revealed fully among us all. Five years ago, after much
effort, an agent could not sell it. Recently, an acquisitions
editor enthusiastically declared it “a winner”
and “a desperately needed message for our time”—but
when he took it to his senior editors, they rejected it as
“too hot to handle.”
This often means that my ministry expenses have not been
met. Over the years, especially during long periods of debt,
I have questioned my calling. With much love from my family,
encouragement from many others, and the Lord’s gracious
provision, I believe today that I’m doing what God created
me to do. After a long season of wondering and wandering,
it feels not only right, but good!
Many have suggested that others who appreciate the significance
of my ministry would want to contribute financially toward
its expenses.
I prayed for a way to provide that opportunity, and the Lord’s
answer came in a gracious Christian couple who serve the Lord
through their non-profit corporation designed to help ministries
like mine.
