Simple Pursuit: A Heart After Jesus
The heartbeat of the Passion Movement is God’s glory, and God is most glorified in us when we live lives that are fully satisfied in Him. But what does that actually look like? Simple Pursuit contains 365 daily devotionals written by a collective of 18–25-year-olds from the Passion Movement for their peers. Each day of this yearlong journey will inspire you to perfect the pause, allowing God to break through the noise of this world with the truth of His Word. The overflow of your daily pursuit will lead you on to be winsome—living an irresistible life focused on the central purpose and mission of Jesus. With introductions by Louie Giglio, Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, and Matt Redman, Simple Pursuit was built on the declaration from Isaiah 26:8: “Yes Lord, walking in the way of your truth, we wait eagerly for you; for your name and your renown are the desire of our souls.” Through each day’s Scripture, reflection, and prayer, you will begin to see the big story Jesus is writing for your life and the great opportunity you have to be a part of something bigger than yourself—building His kingdom!

Simple Pursuit: A Heart After Jesus is a 365 daily devotional book written by college students for college students (sixty-eight individuals are thanked for their contribution, but no authorship is credited on devotionals) and published by the Passion movement. It notes “introductions” by well-known CCM industry names among millennial Evangelicals: Louie Giglio, Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, and Matt Redman. They each offer a couple paragraphs or so of easy-to-read material that add no substantial value or contribution to the book itself; they are merely marketing tools used in the hope of selling more copies of this hit-and-miss collection. Every devotional is contained within a single page and contains a Scripture, a sometimes-relevant thought (a couple paragraphs), and a short prayer. I see no reason why anyone would want to purchase this when there are so many other daily devotionals with more substance. I imagine most readers would benefit more from simply reading the Bible (perhaps in a year’s time if desiring to follow a 365-day plan) rather than spending time and money on this.
