Through disciplined study, John found himself becoming a
calmer, clearer and more effective leader. As his personal muscle for the
practice developed, so did his ability to lead others to do likewise. Soon John
began sharing his reflections from his Old Testament study with other leaders
and would often diagram his insights with simple illustrations on the back of a
napkin. His wife Mary suggested he should compile these reflections into a book.
After a year of assembling insights, reflections and
diagrams, John has published three new books: “Praying the Kings,” “Praying Wisdom” and “Praying the Prophets”. These devotionals were written
with a simple premise, reading the Bible expectantly can change your life. The
books share nuggets of gold John has found in his study and are intended to
help the reader mine their own precious gold nuggets of wisdom that lie just
below the surface. The books contain simple illustrations by Jessica Luttrull
which can be copied on scratch paper or on the back of a napkin and make it
easy for the reader to share insights with coworkers or family members. It is
John’s desire to help others “build the muscle” of disciples to listen to God
everyday through scripture.
