About this book
Are you a new believer? Are you an old believer who has not found your way as a Christ-follower? Maybe you just need a review of the fundamentals and inspiration to renew your foundations.
Life Beyond Salvation: Seven Pillars for Building Your Relationship with Jesus was born out of my journey to find a meaningful life as a follower of the Lord Jesus.
Sometimes knowing what to do next is not clear and certain.
Just as a newborn baby has a natural hunger, which must be fed by others in the beginning, so does a person young in their faith. This book is to feed you in your new life. Spiritual maturity does not follow a timeline like physical maturity. And, thank God for that! Your growth does, however, depend on what you do. Use this book to learn some things to help you get on a faster track.
In this book, I share my stories of what kept me from securing a strong foundation and allowed my spiritual maturity. We all have experiences that contribute to a testimony that can help others. Hopefully, mine will help you.
You already chose to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Now, you must choose to take the next step.

What People Are Saying
I have known Andy and his wife, Debra for many years both personally and through church service. I have been one who knew the Lord had called Andy to write long before this book had been published and encouraged him to fulfill his purpose of writing.
The book is exactly what I envisioned Andy would write; it’s simple but powerful. The way he divided the chapters into pillars is easy to understand for all new believers…the information is a great reminder for those of us seasoned believers that we are on a journey and everything we do must point back to God’s great redemptive power. A great book to have many copies on hand to give out as God leads.

As an “old believer who has not found my way as a Christ follower,” this book truly helped me to see that it’s never too late to find what I’ve always wanted and needed, a closer walk with God. Dr.Hawari’s book was written from the heart, and through his words of wisdom and his journey of finding his way to a wonderful relationship with our Lord and Savior, I now know that I too can have what my heart has always desired...a true extraordinary, faith filled relationship with God. If you are looking for a way to begin to take that first step with our Lord and Savior, a guide to help you know what to do after you’ve taken the first step, then this book is a must read!

We know how to get saved by accepting Christ. But then what? This little book, packed with relatable life application, really helps us know what to do after we accept Christ! Filled with real life incidents, you will know you are not alone in your quest to deepen your relationships and use your talents! As a teaching tool, this book has been successfully tested on young people 7th grade and up at a small Christian school. We adults love the book, too! The great thing is that Dr. and Mrs. Hawari are available to you through this book and in person! This awesome book helped one young man accept Christ, and propelled others to understand next steps toward a successful, well-lived life! We use this as a companion book for Bible application and inspiration because it encourages each of us to move forward. This is a 5-star recommendation for all ages! Life Beyond Salvation is wonderful as a conversation starter and encourages moving forward with intentionality.

A quick, insightful easy read on how important our relationship with God is during our time on earth. Is well worth the few minutes for a lifetime of knowledge.

The pattern of The Lord’s Prayer was something I’ve not heard before.
