The Messenger Life: Book Pick

The Messenger Life by Jeremiah and Teresa Yancy is my book pick for January 2025. I am excited to recommend it — FIVE STARS! — because I have a professional connection with the authors who have been my writing mentors for the past year.

A Messenger in the Making

I must convey that Jeremiah and Teresa’s mentorship program through Unlocking Your Book (and Messenger Books) is unlike any out there. That is because the Holy Spirit is front and center, guiding each author. We students quickly realized that we were not merely there to write books. The Holy Spirit was transforming us into God’s messengers. We each carry a message that God wanted to birth through us and release into the world. Our mentors and their team were the midwives who supported us with prayer, encouraged us as needed, and provided us with practical tools and information.

So, as I wrote my book, the Holy Spirit partnered with me. I spent hours each day praying, reading the Bible, and listening. For those five months, I would sit at the computer and birth the words through my keyboard. Jeremiah and Teresa often told us we would become the message as our journeys unfolded. I have found this to be true. When I completed the chapter titles for the book – before beginning to write – I realized that I was reading what would ultimately become the Holy Spirit-inspired script for the next season of my life. It was!

The Life of a Messenger

All this is to tell you how much Jeremiah and Teresa Yancy’s book The Messenger Life means to me. They faithfully birthed the message God placed in their hearts throughout their writing process. I have witnessed how they have become the message they were given to write. They have partnered with God and devoted themselves to up-and-coming messengers to help us understand our calling, help us find our voice, and nurture us through the birthing process – and our transformation. God is using them to raise an army of His messengers and release the arrows of their messages into the earth. I know this firsthand because I’m living it as we speak.

The Messenger Life will impact many lives because it is more than just a book that guides budding authors. This book teaches us what it means to “become” all that God created us to be. It draws us into deeper intimacy with God and teaches us how to partner with the Holy Spirit in a way that transforms us. It describes the process of spiritual rebirth that all believers experience through Jesus Christ.

I highly recommend The Messenger Life to every believer and those still seeking. When it comes down to it, we are ALL commanded and created to be God’s messengers on the earth, whether we write books or not. This book will help you better understand your purpose no matter what type of messenger God has created you to be. It is more than just a good read. It is your invitation to embark on your unique journey through the leading of the Holy Spirit with the authors as your cheerleaders and tour guides.

“Lord, how wonderful you are! You have stored up so many good things for us, like a treasure chest heaped up and spilling over with blessings— all for those who honor and worship you!” (Psalm 31:19 TPT)
