Margins: Where God Begins
An invitation to the sacred spaces before the beginning, within the silence, and beneath the surface of our lives—where God has always been at work.
By Steve Wilkins
About the Book
There are books that explain Scripture.
And there are books that invite you to enter it.
Margins: Where God Begins is written from the conviction that God is not reacting to our lives—He is revealing Himself through them. Before the first word of Genesis was written, before time itself began, the whole story was already known within the heart of God.
This book invites you into the often-overlooked spaces:
the pauses, the waiting, the silence, the margins.
Those places where we assume nothing is happening.
Those places where God has always been at work.
Written from a season of deep stillness and sustained immersion in Scripture, these reflections explore God’s eternal presence, His foreknowledge, and the quiet assurance that nothing in our lives is accidental or wasted.
This is not a book to rush through.
It is meant to be inhabited.
How to Read
This book can be read straight through, or slowly—one chapter, interlude, or reflection at a time.
Some readers may find it helpful to pause often, to reread sections, or to return to earlier chapters after time has passed. The book does not aim to resolve every question, but to cultivate awareness, trust, and wonder.
