Out of step: there is no boring life in Christ (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781496033017)

Divine providence has delivered a man set forth on challenging the status quo and putting faith into action. Steven Passetti is destined to change lives. At an early age he is unaware of the trials that await him. Despite growing up as an outcast and suffering from debilitating neurological disorders, God has a plan for his life that will impact countless others. Perhaps no other figure that I have met in modern Christianity is more paradoxical at first glance. Covered from head to toe with tattoos, and many injuries from years of fighting Tourette's and people, Steven abandons a world of convention and safety. Western standards of living are enthusiastically disposed of, choosing instead to surge forward armed with grace and the heart of a servant...and a pledge to love beyond borders. Convenience and comfort are a thing of the past. Instead, a life of service in the third world is embarked upon with God's mercy on the horizon. Allowing faith to be the guide and trusting the sovereignty of God, bountiful rewards await. But not before God presents unspeakable challenges - near fatal injuries, stage 4 cancer, escaping gang violence, hiding on drug-smuggling boats, and being questioned at gun point. Faith is put to the ultimate test. Retreating is not an option. "Apathy, inactivity, and indifference aren't options in the Christian life." Certainly not in the life of Steven Passetti. Follow Steven from his native Florida through the jungles of Central America and further south into Peru as God unfolds an adventure fraught with danger, discovery, and love. Meet incredible characters that make invaluable impressions and shape this spellbinding account of faith in action. Discover how one man's resolve survives an onslaught of deplorable circumstances. And finally, bear witness to the miracles that have left Doctors and scholars alike dumbfounded.
