Puede que te encuentres en aguas desconocidas y encuentres montañas submarinas. Pero es mucho mejor encontrarlas sondeando que toparse con ellas sin previo aviso. La fe crece al oír, y sondear requiere búsqueda.
You may find yourself in uncharted waters and discover underwater mountains. But it's far better to find them by sounding than to stumble upon them unannounced. Faith grows by hearing, and sounding requires searching.
“From Out of the Sand (Spanish Edition)” by Steve Sieting is not just a collection of poems; it is a heartfelt invitation to embrace the journey of faith and find solace in the knowledge that God hears our cries.

Steve Sieting attended East Kentwood High School in Michigan and then served in the navy for six years as an electronic technician, serving four years on board a nuclear submarine (USS Snook SSN 592). He and his wife, Lynn, moved to Georgia to raise their one daughter and two sons.
In “From Out of the Sand,” the author felt isolated from the Lord and overwhelmed by life’s pressures and found himself spiritually drowning and ready to abandon his faith. However, in a moment of desperation, he uttered one last prayer, and the Holy Spirit responded with the comforting words, “I hear your cry.” This pivotal moment marked the beginning of his journey back into God’s presence, leading him to a place of healing and solid ground. Through his heartfelt reflections, Sieting reveals that many people feel unworthy or lost, and he emphasizes that God desires to comfort and guide them toward a closer relationship.
Throughout the story, Sieting candidly shares his experiences of overcoming personal obstacles, including shyness and low reading skills.
He reflects on how the Holy Spirit and prayer became essential tools for accountability and spiritual growth. His poetry serves as a heartfelt confession of the challenges he has faced, resonating with readers who may have encountered their own trials. Sieting acknowledges that while others may have endured more difficult circumstances, the universal need to overcome remains the same. By sharing his feelings and failures, he hopes to encourage readers to seek their own private moments with the Holy Spirit, fostering a deeper spiritual connection.
The book also features poetry from three generations of Sieting’s family, including contributions from his mother, Eleanor Sieting, and his son, Steven Sieting II. This intergenerational collection adds depth and richness to the narrative, inviting readers to reflect on their own relationships with family and the Lord. Sieting believes that life’s experiences—both joyful and sorrowful—give rise to the songs of the heart, and he encourages readers to embrace their own stories. By rejecting judgment from themselves and others, individuals can overcome barriers and find their rightful place at the foot of the Savior.

Habiéndome aislado del Señor, me sentía espiritualmente ahogado, cansado y desgastado por las presiones de la vida. Estaba acabado. Ya no estaba dispuesto a seguir adelante sin más, estaba listo para darle la espalda, alejarme de Dios y nunca mirar atrás. Y aun así, hice una última oración, esperando recibir algo que me sacara de mi desesperación. Solo, deprimido y en silencio en mi silla, el Espíritu Santo simplemente dijo: “Escucho tu clamor”.
