From the Back Cover:

See Past Yourself. Come face-to-face with the cause of Christ.

Just as you peer into a mirror and see your reflection, author Kathi Macias in Beyond Me invites you to delve into Scripture and come face-to-face with the power of God's word as He reveals to you the image of a true disciple. If you are dissatisfied with your present spiritual condition, Beyond Me will help you understand the calling, the costs, and the benefits of true discipleship. As you read the powerful stories and embrace the practical insights on how to model a life focused on God and others, you will begin to reflect the image of a true disciple - one who seeks an intimate relationship with the Lord and His people, and one who serves Him and others with your whole heart. Those around you will see the reflection of Christ.

What others are saying:

“Kathi Macias’s Beyond Me gently reaches out to readers and says, ‘There is more for you in the Christian life.’ No matter where we are on the spiritual pathway, she warmly encourages us to keep moving forward. Her section on the parable of the Prodigal Son, for example, contains some of the most insightful writing I’ve read in a long time.

“With any book by Kathi Macias, I read along, nod, and agree with what she writes. Without warning, she hits me with an insight or an observation. I pause, I smile and say, ‘I hadn't thought of that before.’ I don't have that kind of reaction from many books, and Macias's little nuggets make the book worth reading.”
