Take My Moments and My Days: Tales from the Next Step Community, Year Three (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798357958471)

Tales from the Next Step Community, Year 3How do you live out your faith in the midst of your everyday life? That simple question helped launch The Next Step Community as a place where real people actively look for what Jesus is doing in their ordinary lives, and then share an insight or encouragement along the way.

You won't find simple, silver-bullet answers from these bloggers. But you will find an attitude of expectation, a playful wondering if Jesus might be up to something in our mundane habits, normal conversations, weekly work schedules, and family routines.Extraordinary Help from Ordinary PeopleYou'll hear from real people who are often struggling, sometimes failing, and consistently looking for where Jesus is speaking into their particular situations, how the Spirit might be shaping their response, and what promise from the Father propels their next step.

The title for this year's anthology, Take My Moments and My Days, is taken from an article by blogger Katie Helmreich; but, of course, Katie took that phrase from the familiar hymn, "Take My Life, and Let It Be."

That hymn is a prayer of consecration, dedicating again to the Lord's service my hands and feet; my voice and lips; my silver and gold; my intellect, will, heart, love, life, and self-all those moments and days that, put together, make up my own journey of faith in this world.Authors Who Encourage and Inspire13 different authors and contributors took 12 months to create the 55 articles included in this anthology of next step discipleship. Their ages span 50 years and they hail from around the country and across the globe.

Like you, our Next Step Community bloggers are trying to live out dependence on Jesus moment to moment, day to day. Their stories are an invitation to you to join the adventure-to try, and fail, and get up and try again-to live under an umbrella of grace that makes even your daily grind a place you can expect Jesus to show up. The Jesus to whom we dedicate our lives first dedicated himself to us: that eternal confidence covers all your moments and your days.Great for Individuals or GroupsTake My Moments and My Days is a relatable, engaging, and inspiring look at the ordinary joys and challenges of following Jesus. Read it as a devotion, gift it to a friend, or explore it with your small group: this collection will help you delight in taking a small step following Jesus.
