In this book, the desire of Dr. Youssef's heart is to highlight, underline, and magnify the faithfulness of God to all of His promises. The old familiar hymn exhorts us to "Trust and obey, for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey." By testifying from his life and through the first 25 years of The Church of The Apostles, Dr. Youssef encourages each believer to trust and obey as one biblical truth resounds: when we trust and obey God's leading, instead of our own, God adds His blessing.
Michael Youssef is the founding pastor of the non-denominational Evangelical Anglican Church of the Apostles based in Atlanta, Georgia and founder of the international preaching ministry, Leading the Way, which he also hosts.
Youssef was born in Assuit, Egypt. The Youssef's came to America in 1977, and in 1978 Michael received a master's degree in theology at Fuller Theological Seminary in California and a Ph.D. from Emory University in social anthropology. Michael served for nearly ten years with the Haggai Institute, traveling around the world more than 32 times, teaching courses in evangelism and church leadership to church leaders.
He founded The Church of The Apostles in 1987 with fewer than 40 adults with the mission to "Equip the Saints and Seek the Lost." The church has since grown to a congregation of over 3000. This church on a hill was the launching pad for Leading the Way's international ministry. He preaches, teaches and exhorts with a straightforward and uncompromising delivery, based on the authority of the inspired, infallible Word of God. His unique, firsthand understanding of the Holy Land, its history and culture, brings the Bible to life for listeners.
