About Steven Jones
In college, Steve started studying to be a preacher, but found that career was not really what God wanted. After several years he went back to school to study industrial technology. During the last several years, the number 413 kept appearing in odd locations. It was a mystery at first, then became a subject of prayer. One day, the solution appeared on a black bag full of Bible study books that belonged to his wife. In big white letters it said, “For I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13.” It still took a few more years to understand that God was calling him to write. The number still shows up and he keeps on writing.
