Greater: Dream Bigger. Start Smaller. Ignite God's Vision for Your Life

by Steven Furtick

Take Hold of God’s Vision for Your Life.
A Life that is GREATER.
 
Based on Steven Furtick’s powerful new book, Greater, this life-changing DVD challenges you to reach for the life Jesus promised when He said His followers would do even greater things than He did (John 14:12). In visually stunning teaching segments, Furtick shows you how to apply “greater” principles from the prophet Elisha’s life.
 
Each fifteen-minute video in this four-part series follows one of the themes from Greater:
 
·   Burn the Plows: Make a decisive break with your old life.
·   Digging Ditches: Start small and make practical preparations.
·   Upon Further Review: Live in the knowledge that faith is never wasted.
·   Strike the Water: Step out to live the greater life God promises.
 
Filmed at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London and at biblical sites in Israel, these video sessions are ideal for use in small groups, Sunday school classes, and retreats. Each session includes footage from the sites where Elisha performed his miracles in the Holy Land and ends with an original worship song.
 
Along with the Greater DVD Participant’s Guide, this resource will inspire you to stop settling for mediocrity and start living the greater life God wants for you.

Includes the Greater DVD Participant's Guide.

I went back and forth with this book. At first, I considered the point of the author in the greater life that God has called us to live. This life is filled with a boldness to be led by the spirit and nothing else. However, I struggled with the author stating that if we don’t live like the Elijah’s or the Elisha’s of the Bible we are “wasting” our life. I get that he author is pushing for us to not be complacent or content, but I wonder when is it enough. When are we good enough? And if the answer is based on humans we will never achieve it. However, if it’s based on God’s standard then our life “complacent” as it is might be already greater. Overall, I appreciate the call to action and being dormant in our spiritual walk but I wonder how this message may be promoting a “not good enough unless” theology.

The Furticks are basically the Kardashians of Christianity. Please don't buy this, you'll just be contributing to the carbon footprint of a house that has seven bathrooms for five people. Now that's an offense against God's creation. Hopefully we don't all go extinct due to idiots like this.
