Finally! Highlights from the past couple of weeks since my last update!
First, there was the Scholarship Colloquy Luncheon on April 22, where I addressed faculty members at Messiah College in Grantham, Pennsylvania (below, with Dr. Rhonda Jacobsen, Director of Faculty Development)…

Then, on the evening of April 25, it was our Book Launch Bash & Benefit Concert for Youth Ministry at my church, Grace United Methodist, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The night featured all kinds of amazing experiences, including the men from my church outfitting me in a real suit of the “full armor of God” as our Senior Pastor, Bruce Fensterbush, prepared me for spiritual battles ahead with powerful readings from the Book of Ephesians (below, a time of annointing with my family, church brothers and Pastor)…
Before the worship and dedication service, we had a “Meet & Greet the Author” reception and book signing (below, two of my recent Messiah College students, Lauren and Jen, traveled to Carlisle to stop by)…
After the reception and the worship and dedication service, our Book Launch Bash wrapped up with a joyful benefit concert by Christian recording artists Saline, to celebrate the book and help support youth ministry programs sponsored by our Church…
The next day, April 26, it was a Book Signing at Borders Books & Music in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania (below, at the author’s table with Keegan, a friend from church and gifted future author)…
And the next day, April 27, I was back at Grace United Methodist Church in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, leading a Wills Workshop estate planning seminar…
On April 30, I gave a talk to students, faculty and local residents at Mount Saint Mary’s University, in Emmitsburg, Maryland (special thanks to Professor Karl Einolf for making arrangements, providing hospitality and displaying great signs to promote the event on campus!)…
And, finally, on May 1, I spoke at Otterbein United Methodist Church in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania (below, after the talk and dinner at Otterbein, with event organizer Helen Milliron).
It was an exciting and encouraging series of events! Now a short break, then more events starting May 10! Thanks to everyone who helped in so many ways, big and small!

My first official book signing event was at Warm Hearts Cafe & Book Shoppe, in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, on April 19. The store is part of One Heart Ministries, which operates Central PA Christian station WKBO “The Fortress” 1230 AM. Ministry founder and on-air personality Pete Hamel and his wife, Tess, welcome me and provide warmest hospitality. It’s a great Saturday catching up with Pete and Tess, getting to meet readers and Fortress listeners, and seeing old and new friends. Then it’s time to head to Lancaster County Bible Church to spend Saturday evening and Sunday morning at Scripts Bookstore.
My lovely wife Sharon is able to accompany me to the Scripts signing at LCBC on Sunday morning and we are blessed to enjoy great morning worship and fellowship with the LCBC congregation.
Hillary (left) and Becky (right) of Scripts took fantastic care of us at LCBC! They couldn’t have treated us any better and their thoughtful kindness was truly appreciated.
Sunday evening, it was time to close my very busy weekend by leading an estate planning seminar at Trinity United Methodist Church in Walnut Bottom, Pennsylvania.

By admin | March 20, 2008
Steve’s update: My journey to proclaim the message of “The Believer’s Guide to Legal Issues” is on! Click here to see my upcoming engagements. Here’s a few pics from my Pre-Release Mini-Tour…
My tour started March 18, with a flight west to visit Michigan State University College of Law, in East Lansing, Michigan, and…
Thomas M. Cooley Law School, in Lansing, Michigan, where I was honored to speak for a special combined meeting of the Christian Legal Society student chapters from both schools.
Special thanks to law students Leah (left) from MSU and Tristan (right) from Cooley for your great leadership in coordinating the event!
I spent the next day, March 19, visiting Calvin College, a renowned Christian institution in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
At Calvin College’s DeVos Studios, I was interviewed by host Karen Saupe for WGVU-TV’s award-winning Inner Compass program (to air May 18).
After taping the TV show, I flew from Michigan to the Tidewater region of Virginia, home of Regent University and its fine Christian Law School.
At Regent, on March 20, I had the privilege of addressing one of the morning Law School classes and then, after a wonderful campus tour (including the bookstore, of course), I presented the message at the weekly Law Chapel service for law students and faculty.
