Clutter-FREE Christianity - By Robert Jeffress

My Summary: I have not finished this book. I was hooked in the first pages as the author asks us to imagine we are moving to a foreign country and suggests ways we could prepare. ::snort:: I was TRYING to rush through this book so that I could review it....but this book is too good to rush. I sense that it has a lot to say to me.

Chapter titles include: Keeping Your Faith Clutter-Free, Connecting Your Heart to God's Power, Experiencing Heaven on Earth No, Clearing Away Anger, Bitterness and Emotional Knots, Saying Yes to the Impossible, Allowing Peace to Rule Your Life, Finding More in Less, Discovering the Key to Greatness, Communicating with the One Who Loves Your Most and Creating a Plan to Change Your Life.

Here's a quote that grabbed me.... "The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak." p 8. THIS is where I decided to stop rushing and settle into a slow, enjoyable read.

Publisher's Summary: When did the Christian life become so complicated?

Your greatest desire is to please God, but with each passing week, your spiritual to-do list grows longer. As you strive to fulfill a never-ending inventory of requirements for being a godly parent, spouse, voter, employee, and more, you feel increasingly disconnected from the God you’re trying to serve.

It’s time to cut through the clutter and get to the heart of what it means to please God. In this liberating look at the core principles of faith, Dr. Robert Jeffress reveals the truth about what God really wants from you–and what He wants to do for you.

Through solid biblical teaching and practical insights, Dr. Jeffress points you toward a revitalized faith centered on becoming more like Jesus in action, attitude, and affection. You’ll learn how to partner with God in the process of spiritual transformation as you choose to follow Christ in forgiveness, obedience, trust, contentment, service, and prayer.

Through a renewed focus on experiencing the kingdom of God right now, you’ll find your to-do list shrinking and your spiritual life deepening. It all comes with embracing Clutter-Free Christianity.

Includes a Bible study guide for personal growth and group discussion.
