Before His Face — A Free Devotional on the Ministry to the Lord

I wrote a book on the ministry that is offered to the Lord Himself before it is ever offered to people.

It is called Before His Face. It is 139 pages, ten chapters, free.

The thesis of the book is simple. Every believer is a priest. Every priest has a first ministry that is rendered to the Lord, before any second ministry is ever rendered to a congregation, a family, or a friend. The rediscovery of the first ministry is what saves the second from becoming hollow.

The book walks slowly through the priestly imagery in Leviticus, Exodus, the Psalms, and Hebrews, and then asks one question of the reader at the end of every chapter: am I a priest first, or have I been a worker?

What’s in it

  • Ten chapters, each about 5,500 words, each opening in a real morning and ending in an italicized prayer the reader can pray.
  • A male composite first-person voice. The writer is a married man in his forties who has prayed for years, who has been wounded by ministry, and who is still a beginner.
  • Scripture inline in NKJV by default. ESV / NIV / NASB tagged after the reference.
  • A Saturday-morning circle of brothers shows up across the book the way a Wednesday-night circle of women might show up in a Candler title. It is the same praying church, voiced by a different chair.

If it helps you

I would love a review. Three places to leave one:

  1. Goodreads: Search “Before His Face Brandon Page” once the listing populates, then a one-paragraph honest review.
  2. Amazon Kindle: If you read it on Kindle, a star rating and one paragraph means more than you know.
  3. Right here, in the comments below: Tell me which chapter found you and what it asked of you.

I am one of you. I am praying for you. If a chapter sets a small lamp burning in you that had gone out, that is the only review I really need.
