Spiritual Movements
Spiritual Movements offers a sweeping, richly detailed exploration of the journey of spiritual transformation. From the hunger for true connection with God and the call to “rethink and believe” all the way through submission, forgiveness, transformation, abiding, mission, and Sabbath rest, the author outlines a sequential pathway that is both theological and practical. The framework—dividing the process into discrete "movements"—provides a clear map for readers who seek not only intellectual understanding but an experiential shift in their daily walk with Christ.
Dave's Journal of Recovery
This book is for those who long to know if recovery from addiction is even a possibility. After struggling with alcoholism toward the end of his working career, author Dave Vick suffered the last few years before retirement with a disease no one knew he had. Dave was hiding, just like so many alcoholics, embarrassed and afraid of being found out. Afraid even of the solution. A thousand forms of fear kept him from seeking the help he needed. Then on June 1, 2019, he was delivered from his compulsion to drink. It took a few years to work through the healing that followed, but the first year set Dave on a sure path of deliverance, recovery, and healing.
Beginning to Follow Jesus
With over 50 years of ups and downs in following Jesus, author Dave Vick believes a relationship with Jesus is the answer to calming the storms of life. Everyone has storms. That’s just the way life is. How and where you build a foundation for anything determines its long-term viability. Jesus said it is the sand or the Rock on which people build their lives that determines whether storms will blow you away or settle you down.
In this book, Beginning to Follow Jesus, Dave Vick describes how relatively simple it is to build a spiritual relationship with Jesus.

Harvest: A Spiritual Journey
Harvest: A Spiritual Journey is an allegory about spiritual formation and change. Harvest is a typical person who struggles with self-image, and self-centeredness. He has failed many times over and looking for changes in his life he just can’t seem to get right. He’s disappointed everyone he knows, especially himself. He’s just like us.
But he meets a kind young man who accompanies him on a journey of self-discovery and learns self-forgetfulness through a process of stepping on eight Spiritual Movement Stones. He has no idea what he’s in for and the outcome is outstanding.
Notes Along the Way
These short thoughts were first text messages from the author, Dave Vick, to brothers and sisters in Christ meant for morning encouragement. Now we have compiled them into daily devotional thoughts for all to enjoy. From The Way Everlasting to The Suffering God to The Joyful Plural, the author, Dave Vick sought to strengthen and embolden the faith of the recipients. Whether you are one of the original text message recipients or you are new to the Love Ya, Dave routine broadcast of heartening messages, we hope you are given a sense of worth and wonder as you receive notes of love from Dave’s heart.
About
Hi, I'm Dave!
So good to have you here.
I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and became a follower of Jesus in 1975. He married Sweet Diane in Chicago in 1979. We have one son, Tom, who is married to Abby, and are blessed with three grandchildren, Nora, Evie, and Hudson, who totally own us. After a decade of youth ministry, I became a retirement planner and traveled the country training financial planners on the simplicity of money. He has written a number of books with topics ranging from retirement made easy to an allegory “Harvest: A Spiritual”. We are now retired, enjoying the sunshine of Scottsdale, Arizona. We have an expressive French Bulldog named Tank. I love to study scripture, and all things related to Jesus, writing, music, family, and our church at Illuminate in Scottsdale. My favorite scripture is Philippians 3:13-14, “Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
