Surrendered

What God Did When I Said Yes

Stephen P. Sullivan didn't arrive at faith quickly or cleanly. Surrendered is the honest account of one man's gradual journey to Jesus Christ — and the mission trips to Africa that stripped away every excuse he had left.

From standing at the edge of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, asking quietly into the mist, "Why did you choose me to be here, Lord?" — to learning what it means to serve and be changed — this is a story about what happens when an ordinary man stops holding on and lets go.

For anyone still searching. For every believer who needs to be reminded of what God can do.

Why Plumb Line Press Exists

Plumb Line Press exists to publish books that tell the truth — about faith, about life, and about the God who meets us in the middle of both.

"We believe that honest storytelling is a form of ministry."

The name comes from an ancient builder's tool: a weight on a string that reveals what is perfectly vertical, perfectly true. Not books that make faith sound tidy or easy. Books that show what it costs to follow Christ — and what it returns when you do.

Whether you are a believer who needs to be reminded what God can do, or someone still searching — you are welcome here.

"A plumb line measures what is true." — The Plumb Line Press Principle

Honest Storytelling

Pointing to Christ
Every title published here shares one north: pointing readers toward Jesus.

Encouraging the Church
Books that remind believers what God has done — and what He is still doing.

Stephen P. Sullivan, author of Surrendered and founder of Plumb Line Press

Stephen P. Sullivan
Founder, Plumb Line Press

Stephen P. Sullivan is the founder of Plumb Line Press and the author of Surrendered. He lives in North Augusta, South Carolina, and has served on mission trips to Africa and elsewhere.

He writes from a life shaped by faith, service, and the conviction that truth is worth telling plainly.

Stephen came to faith not quickly or cleanly, but through doubt, service, and the slow realization that God had been at work long before he was paying attention. What he puts on the page happened. It was lived. It is real.

He has served at True North Church, traveled on mission to places that tested and transformed him, and come back from each experience with more to say and a deeper desire to say it truthfully.

Surrendered is his first book. He is at work on more.
