The Unexpected Path to Belonging

The Unexpected Path to Faith ended at the water, with my baptism in February alongside my wife and two of our sons. This is what happened next. Over a single year, doors I never asked to be opened kept opening. People kept noticing. Responsibilities kept appearing. From an unplanned prayer in front of six people to leading the parish’s first summer fête in years, it is the story of how I moved from the back pew to the front of the room, and said yes long before I would have called it calling.

★★★★★

“Wow, amazing, brilliant and so many other words do not describe this book good enough. After reading the first book within 2 days, and absolutely loving it, I knew I had to read the second one. I could not put it down!! It consumed me in such an amazing way. The author is so honest and open with everything and his story and writing pulls you in. It is very well written and you can feel the passion and emotion from the author via his words. Another great book from Scott.”
