Genre: Christian fiction/inspirational


Book Blurb:


Eric David Matthews can’t imagine why God would select him for anything. He’s a longtime business owner with no interest in the Creator of the Universe, and no remaining zest for life. Unexpectedly, he meets a woman of devout faith who tells him what Jesus has done in her life.


In quick order, Eric turns his middle-aged and mundane life over to God. He soon finds himself in a whirlwind of divinely-guided activity, discovering that the Lord will and can use anyone – young or old.


Though the weeks and months ahead aren’t all smooth sailing, Eric remains ever faithful as he experiences love, joy, sorrow, fear, and rejuvenation.


One demanding and persistent question keeps racing through his heart: Does God have a specific calling in mind for him? At just the right time, Eric receives the answer he’s been looking for, along with a brand-new zest for life.

Author Biography:


I was born in Michigan to Armenian parents. I attended public schools in Dearborn and West Bloomfield. My favorite times were spent flying kites, bike riding, participating in neighborhood baseball games while learning the importance of teamwork then, and later as a member of my school’s track team.


At 19, I joined the U.S. Navy. Afterward, I enrolled in Oakland University earning a Journalism Degree. While there, I invited Jesus Christ into my heart, becoming a born-again Christian.


Throughout my years as a writer: from newspaper reporter, editor, twelve years in the Advertising Department with a national-discount retailer, publishing a local business magazine, and handling a variety of freelance work, I’ve been the recipient of many blessings, friends, and challenging opportunities.


Both of my sons are successful in their chosen careers. Michigan remains my home, and authoring this book is the latest highlight in my writing experiences.
