Micah Tyler announces the release of his first book, “Walking Free: Taking Small Steps to a Big God”

Set For Release On January 24, The Pre-Order Begins Today

December 5, 2022 – NASHVILLE, TN – Renowned Christian music artist and songwriter Micah Tyler can now add author to his accolades. In partnership with K-LOVE Books, Tyler announces the release of his first book, Walking Free: Taking Small Steps To A Big God. Full of encouragement, it is his hope that his book debut will be a guide to help its readers set out on a path to a free and meaningful life.

Officially releasing January 24, 2023, the pre-order for the book begins today. Click HERE for more information. Additionally, customers who participate in the pre-order and redeem their order will receive the audiobook, read by Tyler, to listen immediately.

The journey from where we are to where God wants us to be is filled with challenges and obstacles. It is Tyler’s hope that Walking Free: Taking Small Steps to a Big God, inspired by Tyler’s hit song of the same name, will uplift the readers with the truth that God will always walk with us and never leave us behind. It is also his desire to encourage believers to experience the mercy and mission of a closer connection with God and to pursue a deeper relationship with Jesus, regardless of external circumstances. He also applies Scripture and Biblical wisdom in his teaching alongside personal stories along with questions for both personal reflections and group discussions. New York Times’ bestselling author, podcaster, and speaker Annie F. Downs offers the foreword.

Micah Tyler shares, “I want to invite you on a 42-day journey in my new book as we take small steps away from the things of this world and all the empty promises it offers and walk toward the good things of God and the knowledge of knowing Jesus more deeply and meaningfully.”

He continues, “We’ll take these steps together, working toward trusting the Lord because we don’t follow each other, we follow Him. As we walk this journey, we want to celebrate God’s love for us, discovering the heights that His freedom brings into our lives. Our prayer will be the same one my family has been offering up for the past several years, ‘Lord, help us to trust You more today than yesterday.’ Let’s pick up the tools that God has equipped us with and head into the wilderness. Together, we can build roads of purpose so we can walk in His freedom. Some steps will be beautiful and some will be difficult, but this road will lead somewhere amazing. One step at a time!”

ABOUT MICAH TYLER: Songwriter and recording artist Micah Tyler writes, performs, and lives out “battle-tested” music that gives glory to his God. He is the recipient of multiple Dove and K-LOVE Award nominations and has written four BMI Top 25 Christian Songs. His journey has taken him from small-town youth pastor to delivery truck driver, to touring alongside big-name artists such as MercyMe, Jeremy Camp, and Phil Wickham. He will be joining MercyMe again for their spring 2023 Always Only Jesus Tour. Tyler is best known for numerous hit songs such as “Never Been a Moment,” “I See Grace,” “Even Then,” and “Walking Free.” His newest project, Walking Free: Taking Small Steps to a Big God, is his first book. For more information, go to MicahTyler.com.
