The Redeemed Life: The Hope, Renewal, Purpose, and Joy of Knowing and Following Jesus in All of Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781088065860)

Life is all about knowing and following Jesus, but far too often Christians find the problem of a disconnected faith and their everyday lives. They feel frustration over having a passionate "personal faith" but often experience a lack of difference in how their faith influences their daily realities. They desire to live a vibrant life where their faith is integrated into everything. I wrote this book to help people have a relationship with Jesus and follow Him in all of life, solving the problem of faith being too often disconnected from "everyday life". I hope it serves individuals and the local church everywhere by connecting people to teachings and resources for experiencing and living out the redemptive, abundant life of following Jesus Christ (John 10:10). While it is meant to be read from start to finish, it also serves as a topical guide with short (2-4 page) chapters of topic discussion with recommended resource lists and reflection questions. Imagine transforming your perspectives to see your faith influence how you interact with things like your work, passions, hobbies, education, relationships, communities, and the world's issues. Imagine living with joy, meaning, and purpose as an authentic and impactful expression of your faith in everything. This life is an invitation to experience the Kingdom of God, God's reign, and the redemption of Heaven on Earth, now on this side of eternity.
