Starting Monday, October 13, 2025, I am going to start posting samples from each book of The Book Of Benjamin Kareth in order. 71 books of the 100 have been written and published over the past 7 /12 years. The 72nd book is written and will be published soon as well.
God takes me back frequently to the pages of the books to remind me of all He has done in and through me during this journey with Him. Reading of the ups, downs, backwards, and forwards along the way have been incredibly encouraging to me. My prayer is that as we travel through the pages(samples) of each book that you too will be encouraged to continue seeking God’s plan for your own life.
Before we begin to travel through the pages of the books of the book series I wanted to remind you of who I was before this journey began. Perhaps you remember all too well that man I was, that man living totally for myself.
It’s easy to try to say that that moment on July 9th, 2018 was my salvation moment… but sadly it wasn’t.
I was saved when I was just a boy.
I’ve known God since I was a child.
I’ve heard His voice since I was a kid.
I would love to be compared with prophets in the Bible who did everything right along the journey of their life, but sadly the only prophet I can truly be compared with is Jonah.
When I was 8 years old God called me to be a profit (correct spelling) to the nations. I drew a sketch dated in 1990. I can’t find it right now, but it had a picture of a king on it and the words “I have called you to be a profit to the nations”.
I’ve known since I was a kid what God wanted from me. I knew what it would cost me. I wrestled and battled God from around age 13-17. Then at age 17 I gave up that fight and told God, “If I continue to wrestle with you about this I will walk away from you.”
So, I stopped fighting and walked out into the world and began just living for myself. Over the years to come the chains around my life became heavier and heavier, my sin deeper and deeper. I tried everything to quiet the raging storm in myself that was God calling me back. I tried everything to quell my spiritual gifts. I used every excuse to run. Nothing worked. Nothing satisfied. All was empty. I became the impossible. I considered God’s ever redeeming me impossible.
But God… had a plan to bring me back to Himself.
On July 9th, 2018, I woke up hungover in the parking lot of a grocery store in Hilton Head, SC at 5:30am. I had just had the worst night of my life. It was in that moment that God wrapped His arms around me and said, “This is finished. Now you are going to listen and obey. I am going to get you out of here.”
And He did…
There are many videos and writings I have created during my journey that tell about who I was, God’s rescue of me, etc. I recorded 4 videos telling of my entire life’s journey on YouTube. If you care to watch them I’ve created this page for that, it also contains my written testimony as well:
Who Is Benjamin Kareth?
The book series The Book Of Benjamin Kareth is not only the story of my journey but so much more, as you’ll discover as we travel through the pages of the books in the coming weeks…
You can sign up to receive e-mails each time I post to this blog. It’s a great way to stay connected with what God is doing through the ministry He has given me:
