A Habit Called Faith
Author: Jen Pollock Michel
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493428756
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Today's neurological research has placed habit at the center of human behavior; we are what we do repetitively. When we want to add something to our life, whether it's exercise, prayer, or just getting up earlier in the morning, we know that we must turn an activity into a habit through repetition or it just won't stick. What would happen if we applied the same kind of daily dedication to faith? Could faith become a habit, a given--automatic? With vulnerable storytelling and insightful readings of both Old and New Testament passages, Jen Pollock Michel invites the convinced and the curious into a 40-day Bible reading experience. Vividly translating ancient truths for a secular age, Michel highlights how the biblical text invites us to see, know, live, love, and obey. The daily reflection questions and weekly discussion guides invite both individuals and groups, believers and doubters alike, to explore how faith, even faith as small as a mustard seed, might grow into a life-defining habit.

Your Time Is Now

Pages : 176
Book Description
God has a purpose for you right now. You may think you're not ready to make a difference in God's Kingdom or that you're too young for others to take seriously. But that's not what God thinks. At some point, you have to understand your own purpose and significance in the kingdom of God. How does God want to use you? This book uses the Old Testament leader Joshua as a model for stepping up to God's big calling. Before Joshua, Moses was the one who had spoken to God, performed miracles, and challenged Pharaoh. But at some point, Joshua had to come out to the front. So what did he do? How did he step up? And what steps can you take to seize "now" for yourself? Now is your time. If you will be steadfast and unmovable, and always abound in what God is calling you to do, you'll see that it will not be in vain. He has a plan, a destiny for your life. Now means "not later." Now means "don't wait." God wants to do great things.

Pages : 239
Book Description
A single, 33-year-old American leaves his comfortable life behind and moves to semi-rural Japan to teach English for a year. His quest is to find a satisfying profession, true love and friendship. Instead he finds the adventure of a lifetime with lots of triumphs, trials and tribulations as one year becomes two, then three. The inspiration behind this life-changing decision began on a week-long vacation to Japan in September 2000, when he meets a baseball-crazed man in a half-empty stadium before a meaningless late-season game. They end up watching a thrilling game together and it stirs something deep inside him. Back home, he struggles with feelings of loneliness and isolation. However, he continues to feel that the chance encounter in the baseball stadium might be fate, so one night he vows to change his life. Less than a year later, he moves to Japan to work as an English teacher only to find the same feelings of isolation he faced in his home country. To remedy this, he reunites with his new baseball friends which give him a sense of belonging. When not immersed in baseball, he is comforted by the passionate love of a woman, finds a sense of purpose as a teacher, but struggles to adapt to his new surroundings. So he escapes to the mecca of Japanese baseball, Koshien, home of the hapless Hanshin Tigers. While there, he finds solace with his friends, a group of rambunctious, yet dysfunctional locals who accept him as an equal. Their adventures together afford him an inside look at the gritty side of Japanese life and the storied baseball culture in the country. Thanks to this camaraderie, he experiences re-birth in his mid-30's which gives him motivation to start life anew with a passion.
