8 Steps to Getting UNSTUCK in Life!
Lessons My Brother Taught Me After He Committed Suicide
I wrote this book through tears and deep grief after facing the painful truth of why my beloved brother, Ronnie Bethune, took his own life. He found himself stuck in overwhelming circumstances, unable to see a way out, and made a permanent decision in what should have been a temporary season. After losing the best job he had ever had, his already fragile marriage began to unravel and eventually dissolved, and in just seven months, he slipped from depression into despair and did the unthinkable. This book could not help my brother, but I am grateful to say it has already helped hundreds of others find their way forward. My prayer is that these words will serve as a clear, practical road map out of whatever has your life stuck right now. This is not just a book about depression or suicide, it is a power-packed guide filled with real, actionable steps that can help anyone get unstuck and start moving forward, if they are willing to do the work and apply the principles consistently.
Don’t give up on life. Don’t ever give up.

Unto the LEAST OF THESE
12 Stages Toward Genuine Compassion for Churches That Are Serious About Helping the Less Fortunate
In this thorough yet accessible resource, Mike Bethune takes a bold and candid look at the relationship between the church and the less fortunate, confronting the issues many have avoided for far too long. He challenges churches and organizations to do better, to move beyond surface-level service and truly examine how we treat those who come through our soup kitchens, clothing pantries, and shelters. Bethune asserts that many of today’s churches have drifted far from the model of compassion that Jesus embodied, a model that does not diminish, but instead restores and reaffirms the humanity of every person regardless of social, educational, or economic status. This book is a call to realignment, a call to return to the heart of Christ, and it provides a clear, practical 12-stage process designed to move churches back in the right direction, back toward genuine, Christ-centered compassion that transforms not only those being served, but those who do the serving as well.
Don’t ever give up on doing good. Stay the course.
