For ALC member and author Todd Leyden, the passing of his son followed by a series of inexplicable events revealed an improbable journey of faith and a story worth telling.
Read about Todd's journey below!
In the days, months, and years following our son’s passing, I wrestled with a few questions: “God, why did you make the circumstances preceding and following our Payton’s passing so clear? What do you want me to do?"
Eighteen years later, I was able to unlock the series of inexplicable events that provided assurance and perspective in ways I could have never imagined. This is a story that must be told. It’s a story of hope as we cast our eyes on things unseen and the glorious unfolding that is ours, despite difficulty and human despair, to see anew with eyes of the father. In reality, the Lord wrote this story. I am just the author of the book.
The Author Learning Center is invaluable. They provide expertise in many areas where I was lacking. You are able to schedule each of the elements of your book writing project from writing to editing to marketing to publishing. It eliminated many of the barriers to publication that would have made it almost impossible to develop a quality product on my own.
The online tools and resources were very helpful. There is no reason to be stuck as there are a plethora of resources available to address almost any question or issue you have. There are also Author Circles with other individuals eager to help you on your journey.
You need a lot of support to write a book. Set a schedule or game plan to get your book published and surround yourself with close friends and advisors who will help you get this accomplished.
In just the first month of my book's release, I've had several people ask me when I am going to do another book. I never thought that was possible! Get started and get after your dream and make it a reality.
Is it possible we only see a small fraction of what this life has for us? Often, our view is blinded by the things of this world. My family’s seemingly perfect life was dramatically interrupted when a doctor described our son Payton as the sickest kid in an acute-care children’s hospital. As Payton’s life hung on the precipice, the doctors posed three daunting questions that were impossible to fathom with human understanding—ones a parent should never face. The response was not our own, and the years to follow would reveal an improbable journey of faith. Eyes of the Father: Seeing Meaning in the Mirror unlocks a series of inexplicable events that provided assurance and perspective in ways we never could have imagined and begged the question “Why?” This is a story of hope as we cast our eyes on things unseen and the glorious unfolding that is ours, despite difficulty and human despair, to see anew with eyes of the Father.
