Have the time of your life, for the rest of your life.
If you want to have your life ignited every day with effortless faith, joy, peace, purpose, and direction, you're going to love this book—with the emphasis on the word effortless. God has the perfect plan for your life, and He promises to pour it out on you when you simply live for His purpose rather than your own.
This is a simple presentation of God's Word that, when followed with childlike faith, will bring you into an intimate relationship with God. Imagine living every day with purpose, free from worry, and full of joy, no matter what the day holds for you.
It's not too good to be true! The most excited, joy-filled Christians are those who just accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. This is how God expects you to live your entire life!Experience joy every day, no matter what your day holdsKnow, without question, that God is answering your prayersMove into an intimate relationship with GodSatan is using fear to paralyze the church into inactivity and to sterilize Christians into not reproducing themselves. The battle is not in our streets or in Washington, DC. The battle is in our churches and in the heart and soul of every Christian.
A life lived for Christ has a testimony of God’s faithfulness and goodness. Love this book. A great motivator to experience the Joy of the Lord. Thank you Barry for sharing your life story and giving a much needed message for the church. I am encouraged myself and ready to go forth and do the same. A must read for those who have had the first love of Christ and for those who have never had it. I want that joy in my life again and the favor of God. There is nothing like it in this world. Praying this helps ignite a movement in the church to share the Love of Christ to any ears that will hear….saved and unsaved. Thanks again Barry it was just what I needed to hear.
I listened to this on Audible. I started off highly skeptical and quite critical until I sensed the Holy Spirit chastising me for being critical of how Barry shares his faith when I don’t share mine hardly at all.
The focus of my skepticism and criticism turned out to be misplaced and I instead found motivation through the truth of the Scriptures shared throughout the book.
I would highly recommend reading/listening to this book with a mind and heart that is listening for how the Holy Spirit might be prompting and/or correcting or encouraging you.
I went into this book as a newer Christian and it has set an amazing framework for my faith. I now understand the urgency to share my faith with others as well as the joy that comes with it. He uses several verses each chapter to back his statements and (to my limited knowledge) has sound biblical doctrine. This is a great book for learning what our purpose is in life as children of God. It's also a fun read :)
Still finishing this book but it has been very inspiring. Barry points out that we need to get back to our first love, God! Putting Him first and focusing on fulfilling the Great Commission brings that joy spoken of in John 15:11
What an explanation of how easy it is to simply inject God into our everyday conversation. When we are focused on Him, our lives reflect it and our #1 goal is to share the gospel and take as many with us to heaven.
4⭐️ read this for my small group. a bit cheesy at times but so encouraging. great reminder on the importance of bringing everyone every day a little closer to Christ!!
