The second book in the First Steps series tackles the fundamental, day-to-day difficulties experienced by every Christian, and looks at the question Why Did Life Just Get Harder?

“Too many believe that Jesus is supposed to take away all of their problems. This book will help me explain to them that the spiritual life is war. Mez keeps it real and speaks truth. I love this guy.”
