Steven Hartlaub has written 3 books about his journey to develop and grow a relationship with Jesus Christ, they are available on Amazon. Good friends Steve & Sharon Hartlaub looking pretty cute.

After the spiritual birth takes place in the heart and life of a person, once they have first believed unto Jesus Christ, all that remains is to grow in an understanding of the reality of this new presence of God in their life; to become in reality what was birthed within; to mature into God's calling. This new spiritual reality, which did not and can not begin by our own efforts, also can not mature and develop by our own efforts. What is begun by God's own effort must continue by God's own effort, and that effort is accomplished only in Christ.

This singular pursuit of Christ, first revealed to the world by the apostle Paul, is continued in Give Me Christ, and is the first of three books with that same singular pursuit of Christ. Whether just beginning on the spiritual journey, in the midst of a more mature spiritual growth, or simply interested or intrigued by the possibilities offered by the Word of God, there is enough in this book to bring the reader into a closer relationship with God by gaining more of Christ.

I have been a student of the Bible and an eager spiritual explorer of the things of Christ since 1974 in Ketchikan Alaska. Sharon and I retired in Bella Vista in 2021, and have 5 children and 8 grandchildren, most back in the Madison, Wisconsin area..

These books each contain 32 short studies, each based on a revelation of the Christ within me. They are written to help lead the reader into a closer relationship with the truth of the Christ within them.
