Originally I wanted to share a sample chapter every other week, for a couple of months, to promote the book. Then I learned from Cedar Fort that Amazon won't allow that. The rule is one chapter. Darn! It was hard to pick one, but here it is.
Hope you enjoy it.

]]><![CDATA[King Before Kingdom: Coming April 2026]]>Fri, 27 Feb 2026 01:53:43 GMThttps://www.johnbushman.com/blog/king-before-kingdom-coming-april-2026

Now Available for Pre-order! This book ships in April.

On Sunday mornings, is it about going to Church or going to worship?

Oftentimes, it is easy to go through the motions of discipleship and leave it at that. We go to church, attend our meetings, and carry out our callings. But where does Christ fall into all of this? Without Him at the center, even these righteous duties can overwhelm rather than build—leaving us spiritually hungry.

This book is an invitation to refocus—to move beyond habit and rediscover a living, sustaining relationship with Jesus Christ. True spiritual renewal does not come from doing more, but from drawing closer to Him. When Christ is at the center, faith deepens, endurance returns, and discipleship is renewed in Christ.
