Steve McQueen

As a pastor, I put all my effort into reaching people with the message of hope that Jesus brings.From weekly preaching to radio broadcasts and writing books, everything I do is focused on that goal: bringing hope to others.Every once in a while, I get to work on a passion project that really interests me and is a little outside my typical routine as a pastor. My book project on Hollywood movie star Steve McQueen, was one of those passion projects.I’ve always been a fan of Steve McQueen and his films like Bullitt, The Great Escape, and so many others. He was a legend of his time. Most importantly, I heard that he had become a Christian at the end of his life.So I decided to write a book about McQueen and his journey to faith. Little did I know that when I released this book, it would become the bestselling book I’ve ever written.What a surprise! After writing over 70 books on faith, the Bible, and other spiritual topics, the book that would reach the most people was the story about a famous actor who found Jesus to be his King and hero.I was astonished at the huge response to Steve’s story of conversion and restoration.McQueen’s faith-story became a sensation, and has reached more people than I’ve ever reached with the message I’ve preached for many years: Jesus can fill the hole in your heart. Nothing else can. God bless you!Pastor Greg LaurieSenior Pastor of Harvest Christian FellowshipRiverside, California.
