Can You Hear Me Now?
The Story of an Unlikely Invitation

Book Cover & Preview Text
In the Old Testament, Job records a conversation he has with God in which God asks Job who he thinks waters a land where no man lives or a desert with no one in it (Job 38:26)? Why would God water a land with no life around it? Because He is always doing things on purpose, for a purpose… to prepare the ground for our arrival. I have become abundantly aware that the ways and workings of God are so far outside my field of vision it’s comical to think I will ever ‘get’ Him. God does and is doing things ‘behind the curtain of life’ of which I cannot see, therefore cannot fully understand. I love Job 38 because it begins with this… “Then the Lord answered Job out of the storm.” Sometimes, it seems, God allows a storm to intersect our lives in order to communicate more easily… directly… with us; so we can hear His voice with greater clarity. The ensuing pages are, effectively, my transcription and description of the majority of what I’ve tracked in my journal and what has occurred outside its front and back cover. It’s not every single thing that’s happened, but it’s enough. It is God’s beckoning call to me and His reaffirming summons on my life…
“Son, can you hear Me now?”

About the Book
This book is a disarming look into one man’s faith journey that will penetrate your heart and infiltrate your concept of God, whatever that currently is, to show the unmistakable, the famous Yahweh, Elohim, Jehovah, El Shaddai—the presence of the Almighty God—still alive and at work today in the life of one very ordinary man.
The author shares the rawness of his journey with Christ through one of his life’s great valleys and winds up following God eight thousand miles from home—only to find that God was up to more than he could have imagined. His story tugs at the heart of obedience in the small things, what it means to surrender your life to Christ, and what God might wind up doing with that through the process.
About the Author
Since I surrendered my life to Christ, I have felt a call to full-time ministry but never really knew what that looked like for me personally. I’m not a scholar or a famous pastor, but I write in a style that fosters an appetite to keep reading and in a communication style that is akin to sitting down and talking to a friend over coffee. I live in Flowery Branch, Georgia, and almost every day I find myself shaking my head at the goodness of God as I stare around my house. I surrendered my life to Christ on March 23, 2003, at 9:02 a.m. in a parked car that sat in a dirt parking lot. The story of my life since then is simply about what God does with the things He finds in dirt parking lots.
