Life is certainly circular. In time, we face the same struggles, reenter the same habitual cycles, and encounter the same types of frustrating people. In time, we always end up facing what we tried our darndest to evade. In fact, we spend so much time trying to avoid the inevitable that we rarely take time to learn, grow, and embrace the rough stuff. Half Life / Die Already suggests that the route to real living is dying to self. With non-stop humor and out-there insights, Mark chronicles his journey-in-progress with often hilarious results. Readers of all ages will enjoy his wit and wisdom, and be inspired to just die already.

Somewhere between cold faith and hot pursuit lies lukewarm spirituality. And in the median between the wide path and the narrow road we find the middle-ground of the spiritual walk. It's something not quite Christian. More like.Christianish. It may feel like authentic faith. It may even look like the real deal. Yet it's often easy to settle for the souvenir t-shirt—the appearance of a transformed heart—instead of taking the actual trip through true life-change. We find ourselves settling for a personal faith that's been polluted by culture, and diluted by other people's take on spirituality. Christianish tells the story of one man's journey to move from the in-between to a life that's centered on Christ. To move forward, author Mark Steele goes back to the beginning, to examine Christ's life and words. Through stories and insights that are sometimes profound, often hilarious, and always honest, Mark delivers a compelling look at what our faith is all about. So rediscover what it means to live like Christ, and ditch the ish.

Christianish: What If We're Not Really Following Jesus at All?

Are You Tired of Religion?
 Compiled from a group of progressive writers, film producers, and pastors, these readings will refresh those who are tired of stale "religion" and are ready instead for a vibrant, living relationship with God.
 "So many wander aimlessly because they never embrace who God make them to be. Instead, they attempt to be like a dozen others who seem to have the life or calling most desired. But, unique works of God — historic works of God — can only happen through the people who accept what sets them apart and who work to refine their gifts so that when God comes calling, they are ready to act. People who realized the full definition of what God created them to be, determine it is much better to accept God's path than to attempt to forge their own."
 These thought-provoking and compelling stories encourage you to seek out your loving, caring, and exciting heavenly Father who has set you apart from the world, so you can uncover a remarkable destiny that can only be found in Him. This book isn't a list of dos and don'ts — it's an encouragement to embark on a personal adventure of unmistakable joy with the Creator of the universe. Stop settling for the world's standard; let yourself be Set Apart.
