So That's What God Looks Like‪!‬

See God’s Face…

I’ve shared my life experiences of seeing God with family, friends, and sometimes with very large crowds of perfect strangers. In this book, I am sharing those stories with you about how God touched me or showed His face to me in different ways. “Something like that happened to me,” or “I’m going to have my antennae up the next time,” are some of the responses that have inspired this book.


As you read and reflect on these stories, I pray you will grow in your awareness of God’s active presence in your own life, and be transformed as you journey through this world on your way home to God. 

–Stephen Ryan

“My spiritual journey of inviting God’s presence into my life has meandered through mainline Protestantism, non-denominational vistas, and liturgically rich Eastern Orthodoxy. Whether you are Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, or still finding your way, you will find Steve Ryan’s spiritual journey enlightening,  inspiring, refreshing, and most instructive for seeing God’s face in your life experiences. A must read for any Christian!”


-Dr. Larry Keefauver, Bestselling author and international teacher


“Stephen Ryan has invited us to share several moments in his life. Some of these are exotic stories in distant lands and some are “everyday” stories of life in a beautiful family. In reflecting on them, Stephen shows us how to recognize the Face of God, how God comes to us in the beautiful and the ugly, the moments of being “good” and the times of failing those we love. He gives us the most valuable lesson of all; God is with us and loving us at all times, and we don’t have to be theologians or monks to know Him. For those contemplating marriage and children, he gives us an inspiring example of the great value of parental love and the great beauty of family life as lived God’s way.  And best of all, this book is fascinating and fun to read!
