Tell us a little about yourself. An author, speaker, and minister, John Michalak has spent the last 20 years equipping others in the areas of life-change and personal relationship. He currently leads Men Of Valor's "Jericho Project" in Nashville, TN (movnashville.com), a prison ministry that seeks to restore men and families to God and society.
John holds a Bachelor's degree in English from the University Of Washington, and a Master's degree in Biblical Studies from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
In addition to his publishing pursuits, John writes a popular online blog, titled "Life Is Relationship" (johnmichalak.com).
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? It's said that as human beings, we spend about a third of our lives asleep. But, too many of us spend the rest of our lives in a type of waking sleep, held captive by the bonds of distraction. The shiny trinkets of entertainment and materialism, the prisons of anxiety and brokenness: these hypnotize our souls into a resigned stupor, where we assume we're living day-to-day, but are never truly alive.
This book is a conversation. And an invitation. It speaks to you and invites you to devote a few moments each day to learning, or remembering, how to embrace what matters most.
In easy-to-understand, practical terms, it speaks to both the earnest spiritual pilgrim who needs some course-correction, and to the person who has never given much thought to spiritual matters, but would like to explore that journey.
Wherever you find yourself, I'm grateful that you would consider sharing your journey with me. And I look forward to our conversations along the road.
