About My Book

Stepping into the Light: You’re a Christian, what now? is a great primer for the new adult Christian, as well as a devotional and inspiring Christian living guidebook.

Written by Diane L. Harris, the daughter of a South Bronx born Jew and a Jamaican-American ex-Episcopalian Jewish convert, Stepping into the Light is the fearless testimony of a former atheist who admits that while Christian salvation erases the threat of eternal damnation, becoming a Christian is not a magical pill for the ills of life on earth.

Combining curiosity, transparency, a gift for simplifying erudition and a palpable joy, Minister Diane explores the questions for God that inundated her as a “baby believer.”

With clarity and wielding a humble sense of humor, this woman of God leads the way to a down-to-earth relationship with a loving Messiah by answering such important questions as: What’s the meaning of salvation? Who do I become when I’m born again? Do I need to know about spiritual warfare? How is the Old Testament relevant to me as a Christian? What does the New Testament teach? What promises does God have for me? Can I contribute to the kingdom of God?

If you are a Christian, “baby believer” or not, who is asking yourself, “what now?” this book is written for you.

Click here to listen to my Saturday, 7/11/09 interview with Evangelist Maureen Chen and her co-host Juergen on Kingdom Club on BlogTalkRadio.

Robin Tramble interviewed me on 7/14/09 on the subject "Why Forgiveness Tests Our Faith", during her awesome Dynamic Women of Faith Telesummit. (Recording issues required that the interview be split into two parts - Part II is here.)

My transformation from atheist to born-again Christian minister was fodder for a second 60-minute interview with Evangelist Maureen Chen and co-host Juergen Mair on Kingdom via the BlogTalkRadio network on Saturday, 7/25/09.

Happy Mother's Day

God created this world and then put us here to care for it. I believe the most precious thing God has given us to care for are children. No one asks to come to this planet as a helpless, receptive little baby, and yet the continuation of care in this world depends on them.

Because children are so precious, the people who are given the task of teaching and nurturing them must be equally precious, because God wouldn't create a system where the no good take care of the good. Maybe sometimes it turns out to be that way because sin is so entrenched in this world and makes the good think they are no good and so they no longer care the way they should.

But however much sin digs into the earth and into us, motherhood is still a gift and so are mothers; we all deserve love.

I pray every mother has the opportunity this Sunday and every day to celebrate the gift in her heart and to lovingly touch the other heart or hearts God has given her to care for.

Happy Mothers Day!
