When did being "e;too busy"e; and "e;going through the motions"e; become a way of life? It's no surprise that the rush between meetings and e-mails, sports practices and church functions is tiring, even exhausting. It's time to stop running and start following.Jesus's call to "e;Follow Me"e; was not just an invitation to faith; it was a prescription for living well. Walking through the seven "e;Follow Me"e; statements in the Gospel of Matthew, author Josh Moody explores Jesus's teachings of hope, life, truth, freedom, humility, greatness, and glory in 7 Days to Change Your Life. In each statement and with each teaching, Jesus gets closer to Calvary and closer to the cross, and you get closer to finding a focus for your lifeno matter how hectic it may be.Although following Jesus is not a new concept to believers, following Jesus completely becomes difficult when life moves faster and faster. Organized to be read a chapter a day, Josh meets you in your busy, hectic schedule and reveals a biblical plan to revitalize your life in as little as seven days.

Expository Bible-study guide to the second half of John's Gospel, showing how the surprising glory of the cross transforms Jesus' followers.

In a competitive and self-centred world, living a humble and God-centred life is incredibly challenging. Additionally, when the Bible tells us to 'boast in the hope of the glory of God' our worldly minds are confused. Isn't boasting something that Christians should avoid? In response, Josh Moody studies Paul's intention in Romans 5:2 and aims to improve your understanding of it in an easily readable way. Moody guides us through the positive and negative types of boasting presented in the Bible, and leads us to understand the impact of boasting on our lives: past, present and future. On reading this book, we can understand that boasting biblically involves not only losing self, but gaining self as well in our rightly orientated positive force for what is best, beautiful and godly.
