Writing as Ministry

As a brother in Christ, Josiah writes with a clear mission: to encourage readers in their faith and walk with the Lord. He aims to help families build legacies of joyful reading and resilience, equipping the next generation to face the world with confidence, kindness, and the Golden Rule.

Through his words, he inspires others to use their God-given talents to pursue their dreams and leave an enduring, positive footprint on the world.

Beyond the Pages

When he isn’t writing, he is usually building projects by hand or exploring the great outdoors. Fueled by plenty of coffee and tea, his favorite days are spent traveling, taking road trips, fly fishing, hiking, riding bikes, playing sports and spending time with family and friends.

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.”

Psalm 119:105

The Parable of the Lost Sheep

15Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him.2And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.”

3So he told them this parable:4“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?5And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing.6And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’7Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”

Luke 15:1-7

To the Reader

May the one who holds this book,
Find a quiet, peaceful nook.

That doors of kindness open wide,
For strength and hope by your side.

With blessings falling like leaves in autumn,
Giving reason for your smile to broaden.

Let friendship fill your heart with room,
That soft warm rain make your meadows bloom.

May joy float down like snow from skies,
And beauty always fill your eyes.

You are the blessing, the story, the spark—
May you shine brightly, despite the dark.

You are cherished, you are seen,
God has planned for everything.

— Josiah David Wilson
