Overcoming Spiritual Slump: A Story of Acedia and How God Can Get You Back in the Game
These are challenging times when the Christian’s appetite to be with God through prayer and Scripture, and to live for God through trust and obedience, diminish like air slowly leaking from a tire. You are vulnerable to old temptations you thought were in the past and new ones that pop up like moles you’re not fast enough to whack!
You are not alone, even though few have the language or the courage to talk about their struggle. You are not stuck, even though you feel neck-deep in mud. There is a way out of the staleness, the stagnancy, the slump! If we grab onto the rope of God’s grace and hold on for dear life, a spiritual slump can deepen us rather than destroy us. Every problem presents potential for growth. How we navigate the slump will determine the sort of person we become and the kind of life we live. Exploring the life of the Bible’s King David, this book presents tools for overcoming the slump so that we can reach our potential for a faithful, fruitful, and fulfilled life in Christ.

This is such a great little book! Convicting for sure. This book took me about 2 years to get through because of the hard topics it talks about. I also should have realized that it was going to have alot of baseball metaphors because of the cover, but I didn't and that also made it difficult to get through because I didn't understand alot of the metaphors! But still a super great book. Definitely going to share quotes and passages from it with my students who are struggling with lukewarm faith.

This is a great encouragement that God still has hopes and plans for you even after you mess up big time or slide down the rails of apathy into a state where you no longer seem to be a practicing Christian. Luchetti follows a biography of David through 1 and 2 Samuel and the Psalms as he builds his case, filled with helpful anecdotes and practical application steps, this is a work I'd highly recommend for anyone feeling burnt out or overwhelmed about the current state of their relationship with God
