New Arrival

Content

As a result of a crisis of faith, my spiritual journey took an unexpected turn and left me alone on stage, wondering where God was. Though I felt lost, I was still on track, as the new direction took me to a place from where I could glimpse the One behind the scenes.

The pages of this book reflect the aftermath of that crisis and the new way I understand and live my Christian faith.

In the middle of that crisis of faith, I came up with a series of sermons called “God behind the scenes”, which I had the privilege to share in several churches where I was invited to speak.

That series included God behind my story, God behind suffering (Joseph), God behind success (Esther), and God behind the casting process (Jonah). The first became the basis for this book, and the rest remain for potential ones.

I cannot overestimate how those insights helped me navigate my journey and I sincerely desire that they do the same for you.

About the Author

Mauro Martínez

I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and moved to Latvia in 2010, where I met my wife, Jūlija. We have been married since 2013, and we have one daughter, Eliza (2018), and one son, Lionel (2020). We are the directors of a one-year on-campus program called Baltic School of Ministry in Ozolnieki (Latvia).

I finished my Masters degree in November 2021 (with a major in Christian Studies), and I absolutely love discussing theology, ethics, and anything related to apologetics.

Oh, I am a steak, football, and blues fan!
