Jonathan Lawrence

Jonathan Lawrence grew up in California, left home at 19 to join the U.S. Air Force, and has been married to Melissa since 2014. Together they are raising three children: Abigail, Jackson and Lucas.

Today he works in space exploration, leadership and ministry. Belief has been the thread through all of it. He reads scripture for himself, in living-room studies, around the dinner table, and in long phone calls with friends who became family. It was never a Sunday routine in his house. It was the conversation at dinner, at bedtime and in the car.

He wrote Believe God for his children. It began as a gift for them, something like a home video on paper, so they would have him later and have answers to the questions they had not yet thought to ask.

The book is a memoir. It is honest about doubt, about loss and grief, and about what it took to keep believing when believing was hard. Its eleven chapters follow one family through the walls they built, and the light that found its way through them.

Believe God, and I will find you in the air.

From the dedication of Believe God
