Saved by Mercy, Held by Grace

COMING THIS SEPTEMBER

Saved by Mercy, Held by Grace

Understanding the Salvation of Children Through Christ Alone

We are pleased to announce the upcoming release of the next book in the 12-book salvation series, Steps of Faith: A Journey to Salvation for All.

The Steps of Faith series grew out of Bible study lessons first written in 2014 and taught in 2016, later expanded and developed into this 12-book journey through the biblical message of salvation.

Saved by Mercy, Held by Grace  explores one of the most tender and important questions surrounding salvation:

What happens to children who die before they are able to understand or respond to the gospel?

With biblical conviction, pastoral compassion, and theological humility, Dr. Ed Grefiel examines what Scripture reveals about original sin, moral accountability, God’s mercy, Christ’s finished work, and the salvation of infants, young children, and those with profound cognitive disabilities.

Written for grieving families, pastors, and believers seeking biblical clarity, this book offers strong grounds for hope without claiming more than Scripture reveals. It also includes guided reflections, prayers, pastoral counsel, and practical resources.

This is more than a book about what happens when a child dies. It is about the God who sees every child, holds every grieving heart, and remains worthy of our trust.

Saved by mercy. Held by grace. Our hope rests in Jesus Christ alone.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith… it is the gift of God.”
— Ephesians 2:8 (NKJV)

Part of the 12-book series
Steps of Faith: A Journey to Salvation for All

What a wonderful and meaningful day for Crossing to Life Press!

On August 16, 2026, we had the privilege of meeting readers, sharing our books, enjoying conversations about faith, and connecting with people in the community during our Book Signing Event in West Covina, California.

More than simply putting books into people’s hands, our desire is that every publication becomes a doorway to God’s Word—bringing biblical truth, hope, encouragement, assurance, forgiveness, and a deeper understanding of the salvation found in Jesus Christ. This reflects the heart of Crossing to Life Press: publishing Christ-centered resources that strengthen faith and point people to Christ. 

We are deeply grateful to everyone who stopped by, shared a conversation, purchased a book, offered encouragement, or simply took time to learn more about the ministry. Every encounter matters, because behind every book is a message—and behind every message is the prayer that someone will be drawn closer to Christ.

Thank you, West Covina, for allowing us to share this special day with you.

Welcome to Crossing to Life Press

Crossing to LIFE PRESS PUBLISHING SEAL logo

We are delighted that you are here.

At Crossing to Life Press, we are passionate about sharing the life-changing message of Jesus Christ and helping people understand the truth of salvation through God’s Word.

Our ministry began with a simple yet profound burden: to bring biblical clarity to salvation and help people discover the hope, assurance, forgiveness, and new life found in Christ. From this vision came, a growing collection of resources dedicated to presenting God’s plan of redemption with faithfulness, clarity, and grace.

We believe that salvation is at the heart of the gospel and the foundation of the Christian life. 

From this foundation flow discipleship, prayer, worship, spiritual growth, and faithful service to God. Through books, Bible studies, devotionals, articles, worship resources, and other publications, we seek to help readers understand God’s truth, grow in their confidence in Christ, and walk faithfully in His purposes.

“we pray that the resources found here will encourage your heart, strengthen your faith, and draw you closer to the Lord”

– Dr. Ed Grefiel –

Whether you are exploring the Christian faith, seeking assurance of salvation, growing in your relationship with Christ, or serving others in ministry, we pray that the resources found here will encourage your heart, strengthen your faith, and draw you closer to the Lord.

Thank you for visiting. We invite you to explore our resources and join us in sharing the message that changes lives through Jesus Christ.

Introducing Crossing to Life Press

Crossing to Life Press Logo Horizontal

We are pleased to welcome you to the official website of Crossing to Life Press.

Crossing to Life Press was established with a simple but important mission: to publish biblically faithful books and resources that help people grow in their understanding of God’s Word and deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ. In a world filled with conflicting voices and ever-changing ideas, we believe that Scripture remains the ultimate source of truth, wisdom, hope, and life.

The name Crossing to Life reflects a journey that every believer must take. Knowledge alone cannot transform the heart. Information alone cannot produce spiritual life. True transformation comes when God’s truth moves beyond the mind and takes root in the heart, leading us to faith, obedience, and a life centered on Christ.

Through books, Bible studies, devotionals, discipleship materials, and teaching resources, our desire is to equip believers, encourage spiritual growth, and strengthen local churches. Whether you are a new believer seeking to understand the foundations of your faith or a mature Christian pursuing deeper biblical insight, we hope these resources will serve as helpful companions on your spiritual journey.

This website will serve as a growing library of publications and resources. Here you will find information about our books, learn more about our authors, access free ministry materials, and stay informed about future releases. We are committed to providing resources that are grounded in Scripture, centered on the gospel, and relevant to everyday Christian living.

We are especially grateful for the opportunity to share the writings and teaching ministry of Dr. Ed Grefiel, whose passion for biblical truth and discipleship continues to encourage believers and church leaders alike. His books and resources reflect a desire to help readers understand not only what Scripture teaches, but how its truths can be lived out in daily life.

As we begin this new chapter, we invite you to explore the site, discover the resources available, and join us in our mission of publishing truth and pointing people to life in Christ.

Thank you for visiting Crossing to Life Press. We pray that the resources you find here will encourage your faith, strengthen your walk with God, and inspire you to share His truth with others.

“The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.” — John 6:63
