"The Promise - One Man's Journey To See God's Word Revealed" - Now on Amazon.com.


Promise: One Man's Journey to See God's Word Revealed [Kindle Edition]


Book Description

September 6, 2013
Throughout our lives, God keeps His hand on our shoulders and nudges us on to more than what we could ever realize. I am excited to share how He did this with me, and am confident it will be a story you’ll be able to relate to. 

As I unveil my story, think back to those times when you knew there was some thing more but you just couldn’t put your finger on it. You knew deep down that life wasn’t what the TV sitcoms portrayed it to be. In our souls there is the hope, the cry for more, that someday questions will be answered and promises fulfilled if we just kept plugging away at what we know to do.

In The Promise I share my 40 year journey with you, and show you that dreams do come true. Though Peter Pan isn’t real, the Lord, the One Who created us, certainly is, and He has a plan in place for each one of us. When you are done reading this story, my prayer is that you too will know more of that good plan and His purpose for you.

“Have your delight in the Lord,
and He will give you
the desires of your heart. 
Trust also in Him,
and He will do it.” 

Psalm 37:3,4


Dedication


To all those who have a desire and a dream that is yet to be fulfilled, but continue to hang onto the promise the Lord has given you – I dedicate this book.



In agreement with the Bible verse that I have printed on a note card standing upright on my home computer desk, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:0, NIV), I declare that He will do it.


As surely as the Lord God of Israel lives, He will bring it to pass!!!


We’ve Only Just Begun…
                                              
Back in the ‘70’s, when music was still decent, and you could really understand the words, a brother and a sister, the Carpenters, came out with a popular song,  We’ve Only Just Begun.  For those of us around at that time, songs like this gave us some hope, as we made our way through grade school or high school.  Deep in our souls, whether we realized it back then or not, something, or Someone, was calling after us, and songs on the radio helped draw us on.

Not sure which way to go at times, we knew something was still possible, even as our parents sought after the “Almighty Dollar”, and the Sunday service was at least a place the family, which still looked like one, went to on Sundays.  Friday night football games, followed by the sock-hop (finally realized that we had to wear socks, not our shoes, because of the gym wooden floor), gave us potential stability, after coming out of the ‘60’s and before the ‘80’s hit.

Through it all, Someone kept His hand on our shoulders, and nudged us on to more than what we would ever realize, before now.  And then…boom! The answer comes in an unexpected way.

As I unveil this story, think back to those times that you knew there was something more, but you just couldn’t put your hand on it.  You knew, deep down, that life wasn’t just what Walter Cronkite said it was every night on the CBS news, or that the faith and love shown by John Boy to Grandpa, Jim Bob, and the other twenty Waltons wasn’t just for their family.  Deep down in our souls, the hope, the cry for more, would someday be answered and fulfilled, if we just kept plugging away at what we did know.

I want you to share my journey with me, as I look back over the last forty years, and you see that dreams do come true, and that though Peter Pan isn’t real, the Lord, the One Who created us, is, and He has a plan in place for each one of us.  And when you are done reading this story, you too will know that…we’ve only just begun.

Laurie and I leading worship - some recorded songs

Steve & Laurie Martin

For over 30 years Laurie and I have been on multiple worship teams, and have led a few bands, including Steve Martin & the Raiders and our current Ahava Love Band (a Messianic worship group of great team members Ron Bowen on drums, Patty Paquette on keyboard, Wane Daroux on bass and our newest member Tom Fahey on guitar.)

We have placed a few of our recorded songs on our Cross.TV website. You can hear those here:


Be blessed in your listening, as we give thanks to Yeshua (Jesus), our Lord and King Whom we serve.

Ahava Love Band 

Waterfall is one of my favorites. (*See note below.)



Extended list and choices: 

O LORD OUR GOD

HEAR OUR CRY

FOR MORE OF YOU 


*Steve's note: Regarding the Waterfall song highlighted above on the song list, we want to thank Rob Critchley, for his life poured out through worship of Him. He led worship at the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship through the 1990's-2000's.


Ever since the day I first heard this song Waterfall, probably around 1998 in Toronto, and then at our Mahesh Chavda Ministries conferences here in Charlotte when you came to lead worship, this song has touched my heart, with hope and thanksgiving.


May Yeshua's blessings continually flow upon you and through you, as His sweet rain cleanses our soul.



Steve Martin
