Be Inspired by the Powerful Story of Jesse Morales

“Steph, is Mike home? Are you sitting down?”

Nothing could have warned Stephanie about the fatal diagnosis that would follow her dad’s question, but something did prepare her— an event that happened in 1986.

Anything But Ordinary tells the story of the divine encounter that changed the trajectory of one man’s life and the faith that profoundly influenced the too-short journey to his death.

Jesse Morales was an ordinary Filipino immigrant and mechanic who found the better life he was looking for when he met Jesus. With refreshing vulnerability, the true story shows what living by faith looks like. It spotlights the legacy of faith Jesse left, not only for his family, but scores of others when he passed away from ALS.

This book serves as a powerful reminder that there is hope. It will encourage you to see the impossible struggles as the birthplace for inspiring faith. Read it and be reminded that when life isn’t working, you can hold onto the God who always is.

What People Are Saying

"In Anything But Ordinary, Beaulieu transparently and thoughtfully writes of her father's 'inspiring faith cultivated in the soil of impossible struggle.' Once you read this book, the only reasonable response is to praise our Lord Jesus Christ for his faithfulness, provision and emboldening power to do all that he asks of us. I highly recommend."

"Does God really transform lives? Families? Friendships? Absolutely! This gripping story will undoubtedly encourage, challenge, and inspire you as it has me.

About The Author

Stephanie Morales-Beaulieu is a lover of God’s Word and shares that passion online, from the stage, in her living room, and anywhere else God opens the door. Through losing her dad and learning how to hold onto God’s promises, came a passion to see and make the truth accessible to those new to it, overwhelmed by it, or longing to be changed by it.

Her first book, Anything But Ordinary: Finding Faith that Works When Life Doesn’t, was inspired by her dad’s life-changing divine encounter that profoundly influenced the too-short journey to his death from ALS. She is the creator of Bite-Size Bible Study® and has authored A Roadmap to Trials (Journey through James), Walk in Love (Ephesians) and most recently, The Flourishing Life (The Parable of the Sower).

She is a born communicator with contagious love and enthusiasm for Jesus. As a wife to Mike and mom of four, she shares from her wealth of relatable stories that will inspire you to see everyday life through the lens of truth. She is authentic, funny and you will wish she lived next door.
