This book is a behind-the-scenes look at the author’s family life after his son was diagnosed with childhood cancer. There is much that goes on behind closed doors in a home that’s main purpose is to protect one of its own from the dangers of the outside world. And Adam wants to invite you inside.
In these pages, you will follow the path of a boy and his family as they walked the unimaginable road through childhood leukemia. Just after Ezekiel’s second birthday, he was diagnosed with this life-threatening disease. Read about the ugly part of chemo treatments, along with the rest of the aspects of childhood cancer nobody tells you about. Take on the perspective of a father desperate to help his child, but helpless to do so.
In this updated edition of Ezekiel’s Path, you’ll read more about the years following the first year of treatment, when the book was first published, including the biblical wisom from the author in hindsight of a life ten years prior.
To Zeke: What started as a journal to simply vent my thoughts and emotions has turned into a message to share with the world. I have you to thank, my sweet boy. I love you with all my heart, and I can’t wait for the day that this disease is eliminated from you forever!
~ Dad

If ever there was a man who understood what it meant to be an unworthy proponent of the Gospel, it was Paul. Beginning as the main persecutor of Christians, Paul had a stark meeting with God, and in that meeting, was changed internally and eternally.
God changed his heart, and because of that, Paul wanted to change the world for God. He knew exactly what he had done, and he knew exactly what God had forgiven him for, and despite all of that, Paul sought to bring Jesus to the world.
I have put this devotional together with the hope that it would be used to bless you, yes. But also, it would be a place to come with friends and family so that you can grow together. My goal is that this would serve as a way for you to come together with others, and sharpen each other, as Proverbs 27:17 tells us.
Deep and resounding truth
“This is a nice and easy way to approach devotional. It provides easy access to Scripture and incorporates beautiful application and thought.”
“Back in 2009, Stacia told me that she might enjoy writing a book someday. At that time, I had no idea what would come of that comment… Fast forward to present day, and that simple note from Stacia, almost a decade ago, has an entirely new meaning to me…God, in his infinite wisdom, was planning for this all along.” – Adam Lowe (husband)

Hope for the hopeless

It’s not until shielded by the magic of his guitar that he feels as brave as a knight in shining armor. But will this noble musician be able to conquer his fears when he comes face to face with his greatest adversary? Or will a night on stage in front of the entire school be his ultimate demise?

About the Authors
Adam Lowe lives in Orange County, California with his wife Stacia, and four sons, Joey, Zeke, MacGyver, and Curtis.

In June 2022, he began working full-time as a stay-at-home parent and freelance writer and editor.
Channeling his Literature and Writing college degree and the Master of Arts graduate education in the same program, Adam feels like he is finally able to apply the gifts that God gave him as he uses his words to encourage and inspire.
Stacia has worked over 25 years in the accounting industry and teaches cash flow budgeting in her homeschool knitting classes to students 4th grade and up. It was through their early letters to each other that her dream of writing books to encourage others first sparked. When Adam and Stacia started writing their first book, Hidden Hope, Stacia realized that her detail-oriented, attention-to-detail brain that made her thrive in her accounting work was the same qualtiy that fueled her enjoyment of the publishing process as an indie author!
In addition to providing her accounting services to small businesses in the homeschooling community, Stacia is a middle grade indie author writing to encourage moms and their children, and cultivate peace of mind in their family life. With her writing grounded in Biblical truth, Stacia is passionate about telling God’s stories of hope and redemption in her books.
