Merritt explores the call to STEP OUT on faith, as he takes readers through trials and tribulations he's faced over the course of his life. The foreword is written by Bishop Andrew Merritt.

Relying heavily on the Scriptures, Jonathan gives the case for green living, but not because it's trendy and hip.
