Chris Benjamin, author of Spiritual Basic Training, writer for The Kansas City Examiner, and contributor to Faithreaders.com.

Writing is a passion that God has given to me on my last deployment to Africa to help spread His Gospel. I began writing down my thoughts for my sons to show them how my life was changing because of a faith in God. After work each day I would type for hours the ways to lead a Spirit-filled life. During the process, it sincerely turned my life around to be a better husband, father, and friend. I have been blessed with a second chance at living for the good of others. I feel it is my duty and calling to help anyone find a Christ centered life. The "Missions" are designed to help you walk the narrow path to a righteous life.
