About The Book
Holy Restlessness: Finding Our Way Back to Jesus
This book is written for those who sense a gap between the faith they profess and the life they experience. It speaks to those who have done all the right things—attended, served, believed—yet still feel that something essential is missing.
Drawing from the insights of Dallas Willard and a lifetime of experience within the Church, Paul Gryniewicz re-centers the Christian life on a simple but demanding truth: to follow Jesus is to become his apprentice—to learn how to live as he would live if he were you.
This is not a book of formulas or quick fixes. It is a steady, honest invitation to return to Jesus—not only as Savior, but as a living teacher.
Inside the Book
A clear exploration of why many experience what can be called non-transforming Christianity
A deeper understanding of the kingdom of God as a present, lived reality
A redefinition of discipleship as apprenticeship—practical, daily, and embodied
Simple, meaningful practices that open space for real spiritual transformation
False Kingdoms: When Faith Becomes Power, and the Gospel Gets Lost
This book is written for those who have felt something fracture within the Church—who have witnessed faith become entangled with power, politics, and identity in ways that feel far removed from the life and teaching of Jesus.
Drawing from lived experience within congregations and communities, Paul Gryniewicz examines how Christianity can be reshaped into something it was never meant to be—what many now refer to as “Christian nationalism.” But this is not simply a political issue. At its core, it is a question of worship: which story we trust, and where our ultimate allegiance lies.
Rather than offering a distant critique, this book serves as a field guide for ordinary Christians seeking clarity, honesty, and hope in a confusing moment.
Inside the Book
A clear explanation of how faith can become fused with power in ways that distort the Gospel
Real-life reflections on division, identity, and the changing landscape of the Church
A deeper look at what it means to confess Jesus as Lord above all other allegiances
A hopeful vision of communities rediscovering peacemaking, mercy, and faithful witness
Faith With A Restless Heartbeat
This book is written for those who feel the quiet tension between what they believe and how they actually live. It speaks to those who know the language of faith but long for something more tangible—something that reaches into real conversations, real decisions, and real relationships.
Using the image of a heart learning to beat steadily again, Paul Gryniewicz invites readers to consider what it means for faith to move beyond ideas and into daily life. Not through pressure or perfection, but through small, intentional choices that shape who we become over time.
This is not a book of abstract theology or quick solutions. It is a steady, compassionate guide for anyone who wants their faith to feel honest, present, and alive.
Inside the Book
A clear look at why faith can remain disconnected from everyday life
Practical ways to bring faith into ordinary moments—conversations, habits, and decisions
Real-life reflections that show how small choices shape a living, active faith
A simple framework centered on one question: what does love require here
