An Humble Contribution
Those who can write well amaze me. I am blessed to be surrounded by people who can write things that are helpful, and can write in such a way that even I can understand.
- I am blessed to have a dad, Jim Faughn, who can make anything in the Bible practical to modern-day living through bulletin articles.
- My brother-in-law, Jeremiah Tatum, can say more in less space than anyone I know.
- Andy Kizer, the preacher here at 9th Avenue, can write about very difficult things so that anyone can understand them, and do so with a great level of scholarship.
- Drew Kizer’s blog continues to be a faith-building read for me on a regular basis.
- And others, some whom I have met and some whom I have never met or will ever meet, continue to influence me with things they write.
It is with great humility, then, that I am happy to share my first book. Building a Hero is a book that walks young people through the Old Testament book of Nehemiah. It is a 13-chapter book, suitable for Bible class material. The lessons are not long, but, hopefully, they contain things that young people need to know.
The book started when Leah and I were trying to adopt Mary Carol. I needed something to keep my mind occupied. By the time she was born, the book was about half-written. It has taken me about a year to finish the book, proof it, and get it printed.
While it is not perfect (nothing but the Bible is), we hope it will introduce young people to a great hero and a great story.
