About the Book

Two Definitions.
One Thread.

The Book of Sacrifice traces a single thread from Eden to the cross through two definitions that change everything: deny yourself ( avoid sin) and sacrifice ( serving others). Together they form the path Jesus walked and the path He still calls His disciples to walk today.

About the Author

Frederick Spieker

Frederick Spieker is not a theologian or a pastor. He is someone who found a thread in Scripture that he could not stop pulling on and followed it from the garden of Eden all the way to the empty tomb.

In 2021, Frederick's life was irrevocably altered by a near fatal car accident. The journey through critical injury and brain surgery became the crucible for a profound spiritual awakening. He emerged from recovery with a singular, relentless focus: a theme of sacrifice that the Lord placed upon his heart — insights that often kept him awake through the night, compelling him to document what he believes is a mandated message for this generation.

His insights are grounded in a lifetime of service to the local church — as Deacon, Chairman of the Deacons, Small Group Leader, and on the Board of Harvest Academy, a private University Model Christian school. He lives in Browns Summit, North Carolina, with his wife Natalie and their children Reagan and Will. The Book of Sacrifice is his first book, and probably not his last.

Mr Spieker lives a life of sacrifice.

“I have had the privilege of knowing Mr Spieker for over a decade and I have seen him live out his life leading in his church, in his family, in business and through friends. He leads and lives with a passion for sacrifice. He has now shared his gift with us. This incredible book had me pausing and reflecting on my faith journey and challenging me to focus on sacrifice in every facet of life.”

Well written book

“Excellent book written for followers of any denomination. I enjoyed reading this book!”
Adrianna — Verified Amazon review

Amazing!

“This is such a great read! It takes deep theological ideas and makes them incredibly digestible, relatable, and thought-provoking. I especially loved the fresh perspective it gives on the word “sacrifice” and how it challenges you to see sacrifice not simply as a grand, once-in-a-while act, but as something we can practice in our everyday lives. This book genuinely gave me a new perspective and left me reflecting on how I live out my faith in the small, everyday moments.”
Philip Knight — Verified Amazon review

Excellent Book

“This is an excellent book. I already bought a second one for my daughter. I will be discussing it with my co-workers.”
Amanda G — Verified Amazon review

An excellent and engaging guide to understanding the true meaning of sacrifice.

“This is a wonderful resource for anyone wanting to see the bigger picture of Scripture and deepen their understanding of God's story.”
Philip H Long — Verified Amazon review

Very thought-provoking.

“The author really put some thought into this.”

Genuine Revelation.

“This is the best “Bible book” I have ever read. Thank you.”
Thomas L — Verified Amazon review

Well Done! We'll be buying extra copies as gifts.

“In an age of entitlement and self, messages about sacrifice are at best glossed over. When it is discussed, it is usually in past tense or just a concept. This book pulls together the examples and message of sacrifice in the Bible and how it applies to our lives and to our generation. I especially liked the practical application in the chapter “Sacrifice in the Ordinary Rhythms of Life”. Well done! We'll be buying extra copies for gifts.”
Peter V — Verified Amazon review

Incredible read — written to be understood, just incredible!

“Deeply theological yet refreshingly readable, The Book of Sacrifice walks you through all of Scripture and leaves you in awe of how it all points to Christ. I was encouraged and convicted in equal measure — and changed by it. It will be a gift to anyone hungry to understand the heart of God.”
Steven V — Verified Amazon review

Brings old bible stories alive with new clarity and purpose.

“Spieker's book is a masterpiece for all to read and absorb. Old bible stories come to life with purpose and understanding. Christians need to hear how the impact of sacrifice is woven with God's love beginning in the garden of Eden, through the prophets, and onto the Cross. Readers will grow in spiritual wisdom and want to take a huge step toward Christ after reading this book.”
