An Exciting Announcement!
Coming late summer 2023!
I’ve toyed with several different introductions to this piece and keep scrapping them—nothing quite fits enough to capture my interest or intrigue today.
So, I’ll just come straight out and say it: I wrote a book recently.
It’s called Clearing the Path: Connecting with God in a Cluttered World, and I cannot wait to share it with you.
So that you can get a taste of it, and so that I can enjoy sharing bits and pieces of it with you, I will be releasing excerpts over the next several weeks before the full book is available (late summer 2023 on Amazon and other retail outlets).
Short excerpts will be posted on my Instagram account (be sure to follow me @nathan.westwick) and longer pieces will be posted here on my blog.
If you’re curious to know the scope of the book, the first excerpt: (About the Book) can be found here:
Do you ever find yourself feeling like God is distant?
Maybe you’re doing all the right things but still feel like something is missing—that there must be more to the Christian life than what you’re experiencing. After all, a name for Jesus is Emmanuel—God with us—yet we may still feel like He is far away, perhaps taking a detached view of our lives rather than one of closeness and intimacy.
What if that could change?
What if being known, loved, and seen by God on a deep, personal level could transform our relationships, help us navigate setbacks differently, and revitalize our communities?
If you are looking for a life that stands out as different from the world around you, if you are looking for peace deep inside, if you could use a little dose of significance, or are desperately seeking belonging, then this book is for you.
The secret to experiencing these things is actually much closer than we might think. I believe it is right here, with us, right now and all the time.
The secret is learning how to walk with Emmanuel.
Read on for a roadmap of how this can happen…

It would be unfair of me to reveal much more just yet, so be sure to subscribe to my email list so you can stay in the know!
I will say, I believe this book has the power to change lives. I say this because it is based not on any fresh ideas of my own, but rather on Isaiah 40—the scripture John the Baptist quotes to announce the arrival of Jesus—and I believe in the transformative power of God’s word (and Jesus’ work) in our lives.
I hope you will join me in this journey.
As I release more excerpts, please feel permission to share this material with as many people as you like—and stay tuned for more info, including release date, book release parties, and more.
Many of you who have read my blog posts over the years have provided incredible encouragement to me to keep writing. Please know that the role you played in sending me these messages of encouragement is not insignificant—without you spurring me on, this book would probably never have happened.
I hope this book serves as a sign of my gratitude to you.
Be on the lookout for more material soon!
