The Path: a 90-day Journey to Living God's Will in Today's World Suzanne Murray

Publisher Marketing: All too often we tend to equate Christianity with praying a prayer professing our belief in Jesus. Such a profession assures our salvation, and allows us to have forgiveness for our sins and an eternal life in Heaven. This is a beautiful gift for our eternal future, but Jesus desires for us to have so much more in the here and now. He tells us in His Word, the Bible, that He came to give us a rich and abundant life. This means that Jesus desires for our lives here on earth to be promising and purposeful. The Bible tells us that our salvation is supposed to change us. Our salvation is supposed to cause us to think, speak and act differently than we did before we were saved. We are no longer supposed to go on living like the world around us. Unfortunately, many of us continue to live just like the world so that nothing in our lives shows that we believe in and love Jesus. If we continue to live our lives in this way we are missing out on the full and purposeful lives Jesus came to give us. In "The Path: A 90-Day Journey to Living God's Will in Today's World," readers are shown how to live changed lives. The first step in a changed life is a profession of faith in Jesus, and this is where "The Path" begins. Once we believe in Jesus we are faced with a choice: do we want to follow the path of our life with Him, or apart from Him? The option that we choose will determine whether or not we will experience that changed, purposeful, and abundant life that Jesus came to give us. The key to living a changed life lies in advancing our relationship with Jesus from merely a believing one to a deep and personal one. In "The Path," readers are led step-by-step into a progressively personal relationship with Jesus. From there, readers are taught how to live their lives following the Holy Spirit's counsel and direction. Throughout the book, the world's views are compared and contrasted with God's Word, in order for readers to see how they are to live lives that are different and set apart. The world we live in exerts a powerful influence on us, and poses many challenges for today's Christians. It is a day-to-day struggle to continue to follow after Jesus with the world pressuring us to conform. In "The Path: A 90-Day Journey to Living God's Will in Today's World," readers are progressively shown how to resist the ways of the world, reflect Jesus, and follow the path God has marked out for their lives. Through this progression they are then enabled to live the rewarding lives Jesus planned for them.
