Jesus made a bold claim. He said that he came so that his followers might have life and have it abundantly--life to its fullest extent. Was he serious? Is that possible? Are there people who have experienced the inexpressible joy, incomprehensible peace, abounding hope, soul-level rest, and secret contentment that he and the rest of the New Testament authors talked about? Are there people whose natural reaction has become love, patience, kindness, faithfulness, and self-control? If so, how? What's their secret? Jesus reminds us what the rest of Scripture teaches that there are two ways. One leads to increasing degrees of life and the other to the stripping away of it. The path of life is narrow and difficult while the path of death is wide, easy, and popular. Although the way of life is difficult, it doesn't need to be confusing. Although the path is narrow, it has been tread upon many times by countless Christians throughout the centuries. This book is my attempt to help you discover together with God and others what it could look like to practically follow Jesus on any given day considering your unique life stage, relationship status, and personality. This is my attempt to help you experience what so many Jesus followers have experienced over the years. If your way is already working, if you already have life to its fullest extent then don't waste your money on this book. But, if your felt experience as a Christian falls short of Jesus' promises then I implore you to give it a try. I honestly believe you won't be disappointed.
