I Want to Know More of Christ

Steve’s consuming passion is to know the depths of the matchless Christ, and to speak about Christ’s greatness with as many other believers as he can. Steve is an ordained minister, and the representative for International Renewal Ministries in Washington State. IRM wants to see a move of God initiated and sustained in as many communities as possible. As an IRM representative, Steve networks with the pastors in Washington in various streams of prayer. He actively visits pastors’ prayer groups, works alongside other prayer ministries in the area, and facilitates Prayer Summits. Steve and his wife, Johnnie, have two children and reside greater Seattle Area.

“I Want to Know More of Christ is not a book simply about the names of Christ. It is a book about the character of Christ! Steve has provided platforms for us to stand upon to look through the windows of His names and see more of Him! I invite you to read and ponder your way into a closer relationship with Him through this journey.” – Dennis Fuqua, Executive Director, International Renewal Ministries, Vancouver, WA “Steve Hall’s daily meditations on the rich implications of the many names for Christ have expanded and deepened my understanding of what the Bible means when it says that ‘Christ IS all and IS IN all.’ Out of Steve’s deep love and awe of Jesus, to which I can attest from many years of fellowship and prayer with him, has come this singularly-focused book that can help us recapture the true glory, majesty, and authority of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!” –Don Peter, Associated Prof. of Electrical Engineering, Seattle Pacific University, Seattle, WA “Even greater than the brilliant cut of a 58-facet diamond ring sparkling in the sunshine are the word pictures and descriptions of Jesus Christ by author Steve Hall. Readers will be captured by a deeper and greater understanding of the Person of God’s Son, our Savior and Lord. Like a great heavenly throng, our only response will be, ‘How Great THOU Art!’” –Pastor Ingolf Kronstad, President, Church Planting and Renewal Northwest, Kirkland, WA “Today, more than ever before, God’s people need a fresh restoration of a moment-by-moment, first-love relationship with Christ Jesus. This book is a vital lifeline to knowing all who Christ is now! It is inspired by the Holy Spirit and biblically anchored to ensure that Jesus is squarely at the center of all believers’ lives before it’s too late. I’m praying that the whole Church will use it to meditate on Christ, cling to Him, and be authentically renewed in Him.” –Buzz Leonard, In God’s Service, Seattle, WA“In the U.S. we do not give much thought to names and we don’t assume they carry much meaning. Not so in Scripture. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the biblical writers revealed much about God the Son through the many names they gave Him. Steve Hall scoured the pages of the Bible looking for those names-and unpacking much of the meaning they contain. All those experiencing an awakening to the Son in our day will profit from this gift from Steve.” –Richard Ross, PhD, Professor of student ministry at Southwestern Seminary and author of Student Ministry and the Supremacy of Christ“It has been a great joy spending time in the mornings starting my day ‘with Christ.’ Focusing on a name of Christ at the beginning of each day helps me carry Christ into my everyday world of work, family, and church.”–Dr. Jason Hubbard, Light of the World Prayer Center, Bellingham WA“Steve Hall’s passion for Christ is blatant and infectious. He has pro-vided me with a daily scriptural reminder of who my Lord is, what He has accomplished for me, and how He is present, providing and protecting as we walk together into another day. Thank you Steve, for reintroducing me to my Lord and Savior!” –Rev. Phil Miglioratti, National Facilitator Mission America Coalition, National Pastors’ Prayer Network, Palatine, IL“Steve Hall loves the Lord Jesus Christ as much as anyone I know. It’s obvious that his favorite subject is Jesus. His prayers exalting our Lord will infect the reader with this kind of love too.” –Pastor Steve Ulmer, New Hope Church, Shoreline WA“I have known Steve Hall for many years and watched the Holy Spirit give him a passionate love for the Savior and an insatiable desire to reach the lost. Out of Steve’s personal hunger for Jesus, this book is rich in God’s Word, with a prayer and meditational flavor that will touch readers’ hearts for our Coming King. I have personally been encouraged and moved to a deeper intimacy with our Living God. Steve has the insight and ability to produce on paper the yearnings of the soul. May the Lord use these efforts to further His Kingdom, strengthening believers and introducing many to His righteousness, love and glory.” –Dr. Richard Palmer, retired dentist and minister to pastors, TX“Steve Hall has provided a much-needed service in chronicling the many names and facets of the Lord Jesus Christ! You can never have a big enough concept of Jesus. Steve has certainly elevated us toward the true reality of all Christ is.” –Dr. Ron Boehme, Director YWAM US Renewal, Port Orchard, WA“I have seen Steve’s heart for knowing Jesus just as Paul’s was when he states in Philippians 3:5 that he counted everything a loss compared to the priceless privilege of knowing Christ Jesus his Lord, and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him. I see our Father saying over this devotional, as He did at Jesus’ baptism, ‘This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.’ Setting aside time to experience Christ’s matchless names will be for the reader like finding a pearl of great price each day worth selling all we have.” –Dr. Dennis Crane, anesthesiologist and prayer facilitator, Yakima, WA. “I love reading Pastor Steve Hall’s daily reminders of the all-sufficiency of Christ. It is refreshing how the Holy Spirit uses the Scripture and Steve’s heartfelt words to give me an increased appreciation for the greatness of our Savior. The peace of Christ grows in me as I am encouraged to trust in the Perfect One, who loves me completely and provides for every aspect of my life.” –Katie Christine Rhodes, small business owner and city prayer coordinator, Kenmore, WA“I have known Steve Hall for over a decade. He is consumed with passion for Jesus. While Rector of St. Luke’s, Seattle, I met with Steve regularly and our conversations always centered on the person of our wonderful Savior. I have been encouraged and stretched by Steve’s daily reflections on Jesus Christ, calling me to a deeper, richer walk with Him. I know that those who engage Steve’s book will be strengthened in their walk with Christ.” –The Rev’d. Dr. John Roddam, Atlantic Canada Church Relations Coordinator, Campus Crusade for Christ
