About the Book

A family of three walking hand-in-hand through a wooded area near a lake during sunset, with the book title "It Starts With Him" by Stephen Jenkins and the subtitle "Faith, Family, Finances, and Life Lessons for Every Season" visible.

It started as a legacy―a father’s desire to pass down the lessons he wished he’d learned sooner. But what began as a message to one son became a message for everyone.

In It Starts With Him, Stephen Jenkins shares a raw and hope-filled journey through life’s most defining challenges―marriage and money, anxiety and depression, sickness and loss―and the timeless truths that bring peace and purpose through them all.
Blending personal stories with biblical insight, this book offers wisdom anyone can relate to―whether you’ve walked with God for years, are new to faith, or are simply searching for meaning in a chaotic world.
