About The Book

I Was There invites you to step inside the biblical story—not as an observer, but through the eyes of those who lived it.

Each day brings Scripture to life through first-person narratives from ordinary people who encountered the living God—often unexpectedly, sometimes reluctantly, always profoundly.

Told from the perspective of bystanders, servants, followers, and witnesses, these voices don’t offer polished sermons or theological arguments. Instead, they offer something more personal: presence, perspective, and honest reflection.

Designed as a 40-day devotional, each entry includes:

  • A short narrative rooted in Scripture

  • A passage for further reading

  • Thought-provoking reflection questions

  • A prayer section to help you respond personally

This is not a book meant to rush you through familiar Bible stories. It’s an invitation to slow down—to notice how God works through ordinary people, and to consider how He may be at work in your own life.

Whether you’re exploring faith, returning to it, or have walked with God for years, I Was There invites you to listen, reflect, and encounter the God who still meets people in ordinary moments.

If the devotional has encouraged you or helped you engage Scripture more deeply, I’d be grateful if you would consider leaving a short, honest review on Amazon. Even a sentence or two helps other readers decide whether the book is a good fit for them.

Companion Journal

If you’re reading I Was There on Kindle—or simply want a deeper journaling experience—the Companion Journal is designed to help you go further.

Each entry gives you space to reflect, respond, and engage more personally with what you’re reading. Instead of just moving on to the next day, you can slow down, process Scripture, and put your thoughts into words.

Whether you’re working through the devotional on your own or alongside others, the Companion Journal helps turn each day into a more intentional and meaningful experience.

The companion journal is designed to be used with apps like Noteshelf, GoodNotes, or Notability
