What people are saying about Beyond Me...
“So many Christians I've spoken with recently are weary of me-first spirituality, of self-help sermons and insular ways of 'doing church.' Yet much of modern evangelicalism encourages us to attend to our own spiritual fitness rather than directing the love of God outward, toward others. In Beyond Me, Kathi Macias reminds us that as Christ came to serve so we should also serve. It is a message the Church desperately needs to hear."
-- Lynn Vincent, features editor, WORLD Magazine, and New York Times bestselling co-author of Same Kind Of Different As Me
“Kathi Macias’s Beyond Me gently reaches out to readers and says, ‘There is more for you in the Christian life.’ No matter where we are on the spiritual pathway, she warmly encourages us to keep moving forward. Her section on the parable of the Prodigal Son, for example, contains some of the most insightful writing I’ve read in a long time.
“With any book by Kathi Macias, I read along, nod, and agree with what she writes. Without warning, she hits me with an insight or an observation. I pause, I smile and say, ‘I hadn't thought of that before.’ I don't have that kind of reaction from many books, and Macias's little nuggets make the book worth reading.”
—Cecil Murphey, co-author of 90 Minutes in Heaven and more than 100 other books.
