Go Get This Book!

Hey there!

As you know I love books… at Oxford I was surrounded by thousands of books, so I rarely recommend any to anyone as I’m pretty picky! But one of my dearest friends just wrote a brilliant new devotional and I HAVE to tell you about it!

My favorite thing to speak or write about, is that worship is a lifestyle. Worship is SO much more than singing songs, or attending church gatherings. It’s about being a LIVING sacrifice – walking in purity and holiness, day in and day out, honoring God in the nitty gritty of our daily lives.

One of the people who MOST shines this truth is my dear friend Rebecca! So I’m delighted that she’s written a new book to share her thoughts and insights about living a life of purity.

Bec is the right person to be writing this devotional book because lots of people TALK the talk, but few people WALK it out. It’s beautiful to see the things she shares from stage walked out, and I’m constantly challenged and inspired by the way she is committed to purity whether she’s in front of thousands or unseen in her run-of-the-mill daily life.

It’s awesome to have a friend who shares my same commitment of saving sex for marriage, and believes as I do, that purity is anything but boring! God is the giver of true joy, and living HIS way is totally the most joyful and fun….and we certainly have plenty of FUN!….

Take the journey of reading this devotional and see how God can change and impact your life and heart. The “PURE” book is available Sept 3rd, so pre-order it now and gets yours!

On this theme of friendship here’s a question for our blog community here, as our discussions are my favorite part about Blogging!

“Friendship is a powerful thing in life – Proverbs says that ‘those who walks with the wise will become wise’ and that ‘iron sharpens iron’. Choosing friends that pull you into God and His ways is really important. Obviously not everyone in our lives needs to share the same beliefs, but if you are following Jesus it’s crucial to have some friends to share that journey with you. Do you have that kind of community in your life? Is your family, or some friends, or are you still searching and praying for those people in your life? Share below!”

Love,

Healer Song – part 2: Press Statement

Hi friends,

Greetings from San Diego and a sunny morning here! Just went walking down by the SD harbor downtown. I grabbed an iced Americano and walked past the bay with the boats lined up. One of the marine corps were doing morning training, so they ran past shouting their in-unison training cries.. I’m so glad I’m not a marine! I have SO much respect for those folks and their hardcore training!

Saw this update online about the writer of the song Healer, and seeming as it got so much discussion here on my blog I thought I’d post it for you to see. Sounds like Mike G truly needs our prayers and compassion, as do his family at this tough time.

Look for another blog real soon -this one is just a quick hello, and giving you the Healer update asI thought you’d like to be in the loop as we discussed the song here…

Here’s the link:
