Lane Sturkie Explores Faith, Prayer, and Spiritual Warfare Through Christian Fiction

Lane Sturkie’s Christian fiction book, “Thus Far the Lord Has Helped Us,” follows ninety-five-year-old Neb as he experiences four pivotal days that challenge, strengthen, and affirm his faith. Drawing from decades of Bible teaching, ministry involvement, and life experiences, Sturkie presents a compelling story centered on prayer, divine purpose, and spiritual warfare.

At the center of the book is Neb’s unexpected birthday surprise, which provides him with an opportunity to share godly wisdom with his three grown children and fulfill a powerful prophecy. Through themes of family, faith, and perseverance, the story illustrates that God’s work is not limited by age and that spiritual battles often unfold beyond what can be seen.

Sturkie wrote the book to encourage readers to deepen their faith and prayer lives while reflecting on the spiritual realities described in Scripture. Inspired in part by true events shared among members of the Ebenezer Pentecostal Holiness Church community, the novel combines imagination with biblical themes to explore the unseen conflict between good and evil.

A lifelong resident of South Congaree, South Carolina, Sturkie has spent more than forty years teaching Bible classes to both youth and adults. His background includes studies in theology, careers in electronics, computer networking, and commercial construction, as well as decades of service as a church pianist and ministry leader. These experiences contribute depth and authenticity to his faith-centered storytelling.

Readers will find “Thus Far the Lord Has Helped Us” to be an engaging blend of spiritual reflection, supernatural intrigue, and Christian inspiration. The story encourages believers to consider the power of prayer, the reality of faith, and the possibility of God’s work in both visible and unseen ways.

“Thus Far the Lord Has Helped Us” motivates readers to strengthen their faith and explore the spiritual battles that shape everyday life. An inspiring and thought-provoking read, the book is available through Amazon and other major online book retailers.
