A Book Called YOU

Christian Living

“It’s the number one reason people fail to continue as global missionaries: they can’t relate to others. God wants to open the eyes of the nations to the gospel, but first He has to open the eyes of the person closest to you—YOU! Over the last decade, I’ve seen Pastor Matt Brown and his wife, Tammy, live out an authentic vision for the Christian life and transform our church by using both a biblical lens and tools like the Enneagram in order to help people heal, grow, and serve. I can now take all of my staff through years of teaching material because it’s found in Matt’s new book A Book Called YOU. I’ve seen God use this message to reveal blind spots and break unhealthy sin patterns holding people back from the lives they were called by God to live. Just as James called us to look at ourselves intently and embrace what God shows us, we all need a mirror. I believe A Book Called YOU is a mirror God has given the church to help us see ourselves through the lens of gospel truth so that He might bring peace to our hearts and joy to the world.”

First Steps Discipleship Training

Church Leadership & Ministry

“I remember the day that I realized I could personally have a ministry. Not just my pastor. Not just my church staff. And if God wanted to entrust me with reaching the world, I was all in! First Steps is a unique discipleship guide, written to empower new believers with that same missional paradigm toward their world. May God use this book to awaken a whole new generation of laborers to be 'all in' for the harvest.”
