Do you feel fragmented? Like life is just a series of compartments you have to move between? Like your days are nothing more than to-do lists? Like your spirit is skewed out of alignment? Do you long to feel whole, connected, and fully integrated in mind, body, spirit, and relationship?
The best and surest way to pursue such wholeness is through prayer. Not the semimindless, I-just-ask-God-for-stuff-then-listen-to-the-deafening-silence kind of prayer you've tried before. That's not working. What you need is authentic connection that leads to harmony with God, yourself, and others. That kind of prayer is what Words with God is all about.
In this thoughtful book, Addison Bevere breaks prayer out of its religious box and places it at the center of your everyday life, the place where God longs to make himself real to you.
The Bible uses the word Christian to describe followers of Jesus a grand total of three times. But there's another identifier that fills the pages of the New Testament-a word we've mistakenly reserved for the halo-wearing elite, losing something profound in the process.
Saints.
Wrapped in this ancient word is a divine invitation to discover who God created you to be and awaken to the life you were meant to know. Using Scripture and stories from his own experience, Addison Bevere makes a compelling case that the life you desire is found in the mystery of this sacred identity.
If you want to exchange lifeless religion for the wonder of following Jesus, this book will spur you onward in your journey.
