A steadfast faith.
A tender heart.
A life of obedience.

Michael Baer is a retired chiropractor living in Mazatlán, Mexico. A born-again Christian for more than forty-five years, he has spent a lifetime learning to walk with God and to know His Word from the inside out. The spiritual gifts that once served his patients and his community—including teaching and service—he now pours onto the page, writing as the Lord leads him by the Holy Spirit so that others might understand and live by the truth of Scripture.

His writing returns again and again to a single, urgent concern: that born-again believers walk in genuine victory over sin. In What Is The Flesh And How We Overcome It and its companion, Harden Not Your Heart, he confronts the two great dangers of the Christian life—the relentless pull of the flesh to sin and the slow hardening of a heart that drifts from God when sin is practiced. His aim is never merely to inform but to help believers truly overcome, so that their heart remains tender toward the Lord and their eternal inheritance in His kingdom is secure.

In Jesus Christ, the Sure Foundation: Five Pillars That Build an Unshakable Faith in Him, Michael lays out the scriptural evidence for God’s plan of salvation—purposed before the world began and fulfilled through Jesus Christ. He proves from the scriptures that Jesus is the promised Messiah, the Son of God, whom God raised from the dead and is now seated at the right hand of God. Written with new believers especially in mind, yet reaching just as readily toward the mature and the still-searching, the book answers one question above all: Why Jesus truly is God, who left heaven to be born on earth as a man, having no sin, who became sin by taking on himself our sins, who died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day—so our sins can be forgiven and we can be made the righteous of God in Him.

His fourth book, The Opposite Benefits, turns from the cross itself to all that the cross recovered. In it, Michael examines fifteen things Jesus suffered, the blessings those sufferings restored, and how believers may lay hold of each one by faith.

All four books are available in English and Spanish, in both Kindle and paperback editions. Through every one of them, Michael’s desire is the same: to lead readers into a deeper understanding of Scripture that produces steadfast faith in Jesus Christ, firm unto the end. It is a faith that overcomes the flesh, keeps the heart tender toward God, rests securely on Christ as its sure foundation, and lays hold by faith of every blessing He suffered to restore—so that believers walk in faithful obedience by the Holy Spirit, and their eternal inheritance in His kingdom is secure.
