HARTFORD, Ark., Sept. 22, 2023 /Christian Newswire/ -- In "Almost Home: Setting Our Sights Toward Heaven," readers will find themselves asking tough questions about themselves and what really matters in their lives — and that's just how debut author David Steen wants it. For more than 12 years, and through hundreds of journal entries and a captivating blog, Steen's documentation of his family's unique story has blossomed into the profound story and insight found in "Almost Home."

After experiencing the pain of divorce, the blending of two families, extensive trials, and the pursuit of a simpler, more meaningful life, Steen was uniquely positioned to write this book. His many years in the corporate realm and the stress of achieving the ever-elusive goal of "having it all" ended when he realized that something was still missing. Steen reflects that God's message to him was clear: simplify, downsize, and find peace. By following this instruction, his life became richer than he could have ever imagined.

"The book takes an honest look at my process of becoming closer to God," explains Steen. "By simply listening to Him in new ways, my family found more time together, space to breathe, and freedom to focus on what was important to us."

In his book, Steen's experiences are expertly explored against the backdrop of an ever-deepening connection to faith and the outdoors. Steen hopes that readers will consider how God can speak to them in various aspects of their lives—wise counsel, the Word, and even nature.

"When we are receptive to what He is telling us—in whatever way He chooses to do so—we can let go of the stressors and burdens of this life that don't matter," says Steen. "Then we can get our priorities set on our future in heaven—-our true home."

"Almost Home: Setting Our Sights Toward Heaven" will be released on October 3, 2023 and is available for order now through Amazon, Barnes & Noble,and other major booksellers. The author is hosting the following events:
