His bestselling autobiography, Lost Boy, was released in June 2008. The accompanying documentary film, Lost Boy: The Next Chapter, has won eight awards at film festivals around the world.
He has written study notes for the recently released Start! Bible from Thomas Nelson publishers, in the New King James Version, as well as for two Bibles in the New Living Translation: New Believer's Bible and The Seeker's Bible.
