MICHAEL’S STORY
It was a perfect storm of personal, professional, and natural disaster that threw Mike Mantel into a dark night of the soul, he embarked on a journey through his own life and around the world to rediscover God’s presence through the diverse body of Christ.
In Thirsting for Living Water, he invites readers to join him on this adventure and open their eyes to their own stories of God’s faithfulness. It’s an invitation to see where God is already at work: at home, among neighbors, and to the ends of the earth.
Here is a story of the holistic gospel, driven by compassion, justice, and mercy, with Jesus at the center.
Here is an inspiring vision of a unified, global church—in which each of us has a vital role to place.
