There is always hope.

Find it on the pages of Anything But Ordinary— an inspiring story for life’s most difficult seasons.

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.
