Busy? Yes. Fruitful? No. Many of us lead frenzied lives - but feel we are going nowhere. Every day you may be asking yourself, "How can I become a voice of hope when the problems are so great? How can I envision my circumstances through God's eyes and respond to others with the passions of his heart when the dry details of the day take over? How do I begin to live a deeper, richer faith that unleashes God's transforming work in and through me?" Paul Richardson draws on stories from his life as a change specialist in the world's largest Muslim country to explore what causes us to be deactivated - pinned down under life's fluctuating circumstances, personal apathy, and disappointment. Richardson reminds us that the Creator designed each one of us to engage the complexities of our world with creative solutions. Rather than offering a series of how-to steps, Richardson offers you a refreshing vision of what a Spirit-fueled life looks like - a vision that sees Christianity as a fluid, innovative call to love. You will come away with a deeper awareness of your dreams, a renewed passion for faith in action, and a richer understanding of how God created you to live. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Some of my favorite quotes taken from this book are:
The agony of faith is wrenching ourselves free of prided self reliance and crying out for the resurrected Christ to be our strength. (pg. 113)
The greatest barriers to His artistry in and through my life are not physical dangers nor are they menacing ogres who believe in other religions. The real barriers are my own conjured fears and the imaginary monsters in my own closet. (pg. 160)
God leads us to the edges of possibility, then calls us to take leaps of faith. Always the next leap appears insurmountable. We are tempted to shrink back, but he says, "Jump!" (pg. 153)
I am convinced that those who worry all the time are simply misguided prayer warriors. (pg. 125)
Reading through the Bible is a bit like finding out that a Herculean offensive tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers writes poetry and bakes rhubarb pie. (pg. 77)
Crises are the launching pads from which God blasts us into a journey of faith. (pg. 61)
Our lives are a conversation, a relationship, an interplay, and a nonstop series of actions and reactions in the triangulation between God, us, and the world around us. (pg 43)
Proportionate responsiveness is evidence of spiritual vitality. (pg. 40)
Faith is experiencing all of life in the fusion of heaven and earth. (pg. 30) ( )
