All too often, our heads can feel like they are caught in a dark, lonely battle between what we want to do and what we know we should do. God feels distant and we feel dirty. 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?

Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate Mez not just as excellent philosopher and pastor, but as a practitioner. I’m excited about the role this book will play in discipling the very people this book was written for.
John Onwuchekwa Lead Pastor, Cornerstone Church, Atlanta, Georgia
Mez is one of us and he writes like one of us. This shows as he communicates biblical truths in a way that hits the heart and mind whilst giving a realistic picture of the joy and struggles faced by Christians.
Ian Williamson Pastor, New Life Church, Middlesbrough
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.
