Starting with God: An Invitation to Encounter God

By Rev Chris M JOHNSON MSc

Do you ever feel like your life is made of pieces that don't quite fit?
What if the ache you feel-the restlessness, the questions, the unraveling-has been pointing you toward a missing piece all along?

This is not a book of answers.
It's a companion for the questions that keep tugging at your soul.

Across seven reflective, deeply honest chapters, you'll journey through longing, loss, exile, return, and the mysterious presence of God in the places you least expect Him. These pages invite you to slow down, wrestle, wonder, and rediscover a faith that can hold the weight of your real life.

You'll explore:

Encountering God - naming the ache beneath your strivingRedemption and Reorientation - moving through the cross, holiness, and new creationRevelation and Identity - learning God's name, His Word, and your place in His storyPresence and Purpose - meeting the God who speaks, acts, and staysStarting - practical guidance for beginning (or beginning again) with GodBeginnings and Belonging - shifting from self-effort to graceRenewal and Response - embracing worship, surrender, and hope

This is a book for the misfits and the seekers.
For the spiritually curious and the quietly weary.
For those who find themselves deconstructing, reconstructing, or standing at the edge of faith wondering if it still holds.

With poetic depth and raw honesty, these reflections help you dismantle what no longer brings life and rebuild upon the only cornerstone strong enough to hold: Jesus.

If you're longing for meaning...
If you're aching for something real...
If you're ready to begin again-
this is a place to start.

Welcome to the journey-from pieces to presence.
