Publisher's Synopsis
Where in your life do you want more peace, power, and joy? Jesus Christ is the source of all three, and I have designed this book to help you access what He is offering you by improving your relationship with Him.
While this book can help anyone come closer to Jesus Christ, it is specifically designed to help those who already accept Christ and want to connect with Him more and understand His gospel better. This book is especially for those who feel like they are following Christ but are still struggling with addictions, sins, debts, broken relationships, confusion, doubts, fears, etc., and would love to access Christ's grace and guidance more fully. This book is a boot camp for the soul, but instead of bruises, you get blessings!
Together we explore how...
- Surrendering to Christ is the ONLY viable solution to our personal and global problems right now and forever.
- Christ fights our battles on His terms and how His ways to solve our problems are always the best ways.
- Anything less than 100% commitment to Christ cannot produce the peace, power, and joy we crave.
- The quality and consistency of our connection with Christ are the roots of all our problems and all our solutions.
- Allowing Christ to change who we are at the deepest levels changes our behavior and life naturally.
- The way we follow Christ matters, and if we are doing it right, we can expect to feel more buoyant than burdened.
- True discipleship to Christ requires us to live by the same principles that guided Him in His discipleship to the Father and that He is much more concerned with our sincerity than our perfect performance.
- Faith is the first principle of following Christ and it is much more practical and understandable than most of us assume.
- Repentance is the second principle of following Christ and most of us have allowed Satan to misdirect our attention to ineffective ways of returning to Christ. We have fun busting His efforts wide open and seeing the glorious truth of repentance.
- Bringing others to Christ is not what most of us think it is. It can be a simple, beautiful, and natural process.
- There are countless specific ways to follow Christ in our daily lives, and we hyper-focus on 100 small and simple ways organized into a 30-day program to make it manageable and engaging.
- And SO MUCH MORE!
After decades of attending church, reading scriptures regularly, and even choosing a career teaching Christ and His gospel, I assumed I was focused on Him enough, but I was wrong. At the end of 2019, I read a book that opened my eyes to what the scriptures were actually saying and transformed my relationship with Jesus Christ. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, I was determined to study the scriptures and other resources more thoroughly than I had before. This intense search for truth and sincere dedication to living what I learned unlocked more balance and happiness than I had ever experienced.
I wrote this book to share my favorite discoveries and save you time, effort, and pain by shortening your learning curve. Together, we reexamine our relationship with Jesus Christ in the light of His highest truths and then reorient that relationship with simple everyday practices.
Feel free to use Amazon's "look inside" feature to preview the chapter headings and the beginning of the book to see how it feels to you. Who knows - you may be as surprised as I was to realize how much better your relationship with Christ can become and how much that can improve your life right now.
Our world is in desperate need of peace, power, and joy right now. The only way we can save ourselves, our families, and our world is by choosing our Savior over everything else.
Simply put, we are all better with Christ.
