Moving from a secular career, John has served in full-time ministry for thirty-two years with a wide range of experiences from pastoral challenges.

The supernatural should come naturally for a believer in Jesus Christ. Take the Stairs finds the set of practical steps that we can take to engage God's power that He directs toward us. The book draws from the timeless principles in the fifteen "songs of ascent" found in the Psalms. They form a stairway that will raise us out of spiritual oppression, crushing despair, and difficult circumstances that are often a part of the harsh realities of life.
