— BOOKS BY PHIL BASTEN

Books for Life’s Wrong Turns. You Live. You Learn. You Miss Another Exit.

Phil writes for people who are still figuring things out. He’s one of them. He just writes things down, so it looks like progress.

His books explore the questions, choices, setbacks, discoveries, and moments of faith that shape a life. Wisdom, warmth, and a few laughs come along the way. Phil doesn’t pretend life is neat or predictable. At his age, a day that goes according to plan is usually a clerical error.

PURPOSE

Explore why you are here — I asked my wife. She handed me a list.

FAITH

Trust beyond what you can see — I took a leap of faith. My back sent me the bill.

HOPE

Take the next step forward. I’m making progress. Yesterday, I only talked about it.
