52 Pick Up: These are the words I give you to share with everyone

by Steve Schofield

“I always wanted a ’52 pickup. I just didn’t think I’d have to write one.”

Who’s your driver? What direction are you going?

Jump into the passenger seat of 52 Pickup, a 52-lesson book for both Christians and those who are not yet saved. Each lesson contains an original poem, as well as the story behind the poem. The book explores a wide range of topics, based on the author’s real-life struggles and joys, and his pursuit of a Godly life.

The four sections - Frame; Body; Engine; and Accessories - separate the lessons into easily readable parts. Like the frame of a car, the Lord is our foundation and stability, even when it’s not something we can see; we must learn to rely on it. Body - the part of a car that is most visible - explores how we as individuals can display the changes God makes in our lives. Engine reminds us to maintain our relationship with God regularly, “for best performance results.” In Accessories, Steve addresses the misplaced focus we often have on material goods, and provides lessons that help us appreciate the most valuable thing of all: God’s grace.

Try one lesson a week, for a year, or pick through these devotionals for an issue you’re struggling with.

About the author

Steve Schofield was saved in 2005, and began writing poetry shortly after that to deal with life’s stresses. He lives in west Michigan with his wife Cindy and their three sons. They are active members of the Greenville Community Church.

Steve is an IT professional, and has long been a self-described “internet geek,” so he used that skill to develop several successful online applications that fund his writing habit. He is hard at work on his second and third books, which are also devotionals.

“I give thanks to God for using me to share these poems and stories. He has inspired me to tell them, and there were many times I could sense the Holy Spirit assisting me in my writing. There certainly is nothing like having our Creator speak directly to you; words can’t describe it! I only hope that I can help someone else along their own path, whether they are Christian yet or not. I feel this is my purpose, and if I only reach one person… that would be enough.”
