The Book: Lighthouse in the Desert

It's a Christian memoir chronicling a journey through wilderness seasons—inner and outer—and the ways God meets us there with guidance, correction, and grace. Think honest reflections, desert imagery, and practical hope.

The book is actively being developed. I share behind-the-scenes updates and early chapter previews through the newsletter and blog.

Join the newsletter, share posts with friends, and keep an eye out for pre-orders and launch details. If you're part of a church or book club, consider inviting me to speak about the themes.

A firm date will be announced once the manuscript and production timeline are locked. The newsletter is the best way to hear first.

Faith in dry seasons, prayer, obedience, repentance, endurance, and the surprising ways God shepherds us—often when our plans fall apart.

That's the aim. Depending on interest, there may also be an audiobook. Details will follow closer to launch.

About the Author

I'm the author behind Lighthouse in the Desert and the voice of the blog, sharing reflections from seasons of wilderness and God's faithfulness along the way.

Because so many of us find ourselves in deserts—quietly wrestling with doubt, purpose, and obedience. This project is my attempt to offer a lantern for fellow travelers.

About Dubai & the Desert

The desert in Scripture is a place of testing and formation—where God meets people with clarity, correction, and provision. It's a fitting backdrop for a memoir about growth and guidance.

Yes, at times. The city and surrounding landscapes show up in stories and imagery, but the themes are meant to resonate anywhere.

No. It's a memoir with spiritual reflections. That said, the blog occasionally shares local color and context.

Select photos appear on the site and in posts. For the book, visuals will depend on format and production decisions.

Hydrate, respect the heat, and leave space to wander beyond the obvious highlights—deserts reward unhurried attention.

Speaking & Media

Yes—sermons, testimony nights, retreats, and book-themed sessions on wilderness, prayer, and endurance. Use the contact page to start the conversation.

Faith in hard seasons, spiritual formation, calling, creative process, writing a memoir, and navigating silence and surrender.

If you need bios, headshots, or talking points, mention this in your message and I'll send a simple media kit.

Absolutely. Zoom/Google Meet work well for Q&A, book clubs, and interviews across time zones.

Date/time, audience size, format (in-person/virtual), location, and the theme you have in mind.
