A PASSIONATE LIFE

The authors ask if you want to be a phony "super Christian" or a disciple-like Christian in a passionate, personal, intimate relationship with Christ. They draw from their combined church-building experiences in Arizona and England, using analogies and illustrations from each pastorate. Together they offer an eight-step method called Life Shapes, which includes living in rhythm with life, balancing relationships, defining priorities, learning your role and mission in life, and praying as a way of life. They assert that by focusing on these key concepts you will become a lifelong learner with Christ-like qualities. The concepts are easy to understand, but putting them into practice will be a challenge for many. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 06]
