History behind the book as told by the author:
I wrote Stephen while trying to find a way to minister to a young man that was experiencing a lot of peer and family pressure.

At the same time, I had an eye toward a more general audience and how the story might be instrumental in reaching hearts with the gospel while not preaching to them directly. The ideas and morals presented in the Scriptures are good for everyday living in a way most people not familiar with them might never see otherwise. It was my desire to create a hunger in young minds
