People need a straightforward explanation of the Christian faith. People need Christ.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (PRWEB) January 08, 2015
Author Mary L. Lyon had just graduated from college with her engineering degree when she decided to become a missionary, something she would do for the next 10 years. Faced with the choice of a lucrative career in engineering and a lifestyle of sacrifice for the good of others, Lyon says the decision wasn’t difficult.
“I didn’t give up anything and if I was to be an engineer in the future, God would make it so,” Lyon says.
Formatted in short, quick-read chapters sprinkled liberally with examples of her own personal challenges and near misses that she overcame only through prayer and faith, Lyon’s new book, “He Walks with Us,” (published by Inspiring Voices) discusses the ways in which God interacts with people. It tells of how they can better receive him, which she learned during her years of missionary work, two of which were spent in Greece.
“As we learn that God loves and forgives us, we are able to love, forgive and heal,” Lyon says.
In “He Walks with Us,” Lyon discusses Christianity and the basics of the Christian faith. She also covers the two primary ways in which God interacts with humankind: through his living word, Jesus, and through his written word, the Bible.
Lyon hopes that her book will help readers realize that God is always with them, and that it will inspire them to seek to let God into their lives, and for those who already know Christ, to succeed at continuing God’s good work on Earth.
“Christians need forthright answers,” Lyon says. “People need a straightforward explanation of the Christian faith. People need Christ.”
Lyon will soon release her second book, “Forty Years Later, God’s Faithfulness Across Generations.” The book is about God’s faithfulness to His children as they struggle with day-to-day living. Lyon looks at biblical characters and then shares what she has learned on her journey.
