Retired Steel Worker Gerald Mackrell Explores Life's Ultimate Meaning in New Book Know, Trust, Abandon
A deeply personal spiritual reflection that invites readers to discover purpose, faith, and redemption beyond science alone
LITTLE BRITAIN, ON, December 18, 2025 -- Gerald Mackrell, a retired machine tool fitter with decades of experience in the steel industry, announces the release of his new religious book, Know, Trust, Abandon. The book offers a thoughtful and personal exploration of one of humanity's oldest and most profound questions: Is life meaningful, or merely the result of chance?
Drawing from his own reflections and struggles with faith, Mackrell examines scientific explanations such as the Big Bang, acknowledging their plausibility while questioning their ability to explain individual purpose and human existence. He contrasts these ideas with insights from historical records, particularly the Bible, to present his perspective on everlasting life and spiritual identity.
The title Know, Trust, Abandon represents what Mackrell describes as the essential steps on the path to redemption: knowing the Creator, trusting in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and abandoning oneself to the will of Christ. Through this framework, the book encourages readers to approach life's challenges with renewed faith, clarity, and resilience.
Mackrell's mission is simple yet profound—to remind readers that they are more than they think they are, and that meaning can be found through faith, trust, and surrender.
Gerald Mackrell is a retired machine tool fitter who spent much of his professional life working in the steel industry. After retiring, he began writing as a personal exploration of faith and purpose. His first book was published in 2008, followed by continued contributions to church bulletins and religious writing. Know, Trust, Abandon is his latest work, reflecting his perspective on life in both its physical and spiritual dimensions.
