The Drift by Matt Hattabaugh — book cover

The Drift

How Everyday Choices Lead to Spiritual Shipwreck — and the Way Back

Kindle Paperback
★★★★★ 4.8 out of 5 stars

No one drifts on purpose. It starts with small compromises — a missed prayer, a quiet rationalization, a slow retreat from the Word. The Drift exposes the hidden dangers of spiritual complacency and charts a clear, Scripture-driven path back to solid ground.

Secure Leadership

Traits That Build Trust, Multiply Others, and Sustain Influence

Kindle Paperback

Secure Leadership confronts a quiet crisis in modern leadership: insecurity disguised as strength. Drawing from Scripture, leadership research, and real-world case studies across church, nonprofit, and business contexts, this book explores what secure leaders do differently — they build trust rather than guard power, and they multiply others rather than manage perception.

The Luxury of Indifference

James 5 in the Light of the Great Commission

Kindle Paperback

James did not mince words — and neither does this book. The Luxury of Indifference examines the Apostle's fiercest warnings and applies them squarely to the modern Church's posture toward the Great Commission. Indifference is a luxury the Kingdom cannot afford.
