Mein Hirte ist der Herr, er leuchtet mir voran. Meine Seele lebt von ihrer Gnade. Sein Wort ist geradlinig und wahr, lies es. Lebe sein Wort, und es trägt dich durch alles. Der Weg, den er gegangen ist, bleibt sichtbar. Folge Jesus, dann wird der Weg hell.
The Lord is my Shepherd, my guiding light. In His grace my soul delights. Read His Word, so straight and true. Live His Word; it will carry you through. The path He made is still in sight. Just follow Jesus; the path is bright.an excerpt from the book
“From Out of the Sand (German 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. It shares a deeply personal and transformative journey of faith, resilience, and self-discovery. Proudly published by Citi of Books, this book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retail platforms.
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.
Excitingly, “From Out of the Sand” by Steve Sieting is now available in German Translation! This edition makes it possible for even more families and readers of all ages to have Sieting’s masterpiece in their native language. Whether you’re reading it as Mandarin or the original English version, this book offers a powerful testament to the healing and transformative nature of faith. His journey from despair to hope serves as a reminder that no one is truly alone in their struggles. With heartfelt poetry and profound insights, Sieting invites readers to join him on a path of spiritual growth and self-discovery. As he humbly states, “Follow me as I follow Christ,” he encourages each person to live a life filled with purpose, melody, and words that matter.
Nachdem ich mich von Gott isoliert hatte, ertrank ich geistlich. Ich war müde und erschöpft vom Druck des Lebens. Ich war am Ende. Ich weigerte mich, weiterzumachen, und wollte Gott für immer den Rücken kehren. Trotzdem betete ich ein letztes Mal und hoffte auf eine Hilfe, die mich aus der Verzweiflung reißen würde. In meiner Einsamkeit saß ich deprimiert und stumm auf dem Stuhl, da sprach der Heilige Geist: „Ich höre deinen Schrei.”
Er bewahrte mich vor der Selbstzerstörung und stellte meine Füße auf festen Boden. Der Weg zurück in seine Gegenwart war lang, aber lohnend. Er offenbarte mir mein Herz. Ich beichtete, tat Buße und bat um Belehrung, denn sein Handeln war wahrhaftig und voller Liebe. In Demut erkenne ich, wie viel Zeit sich der Heilige Geist für mich genommen hat. Er ist mein großes Ich Bin!
Meine aufgezeichnete, inspirierende und poetische Reise zurück in seine Gegenwart war meine Offenbarung, und ich weiß jetzt, dass ich mit meinem Ertrinken nicht allein war. Viele Menschen fühlen sich unwürdig, verloren, unter Druck gesetzt oder isoliert. Sie sehnen sich nach Trost, weil sie wissen möchten, dass Gott ihren Schrei hört. Er möchte dich aus dem Gefühl der Unwürdigkeit befreien. Er möchte dir klar zeigen, wo du in ihm stehst, und dich in eine engere Beziehung zu ihm führen. Dieses Buch ermutigt dich, auf den Heiligen Geist zu hören, ihm zu gehorchen und Verantwortung gegenüber ihm zu übernehmen. Du bist nicht allein!
„Ich höre deinen Schrei” hat mich in seinen Frieden geführt. Das genügt.
