Description

Being used by God is an adventure you wont want to miss!

Major Ian Thomas, a British theologian, teacher, and the founder of Torchbearers Bible Schools, spent seven exhausting years trying to liveforChrist when he realized that God actually just wanted to livethroughHim. He offered this extremely simple advice in considering the Christian life: Go where you are sent,stay where you are put, anddo what you are asked.

With her trademark warmth and keen sense of humor, esteemed Bible study teacher Jill Briscoe follows Major Thomass example to help readers learn how to allow God to live through them, finding their mission field to be right before themin the space between their own two feet. She uses stories from her own life and of other contemporaries to unpack the story of Moses in helping us better understand our true worth and calling. She asks, What is your Jerusalem, your Judea, your Samaria Whether youre fifty or fifteen, you are called to be Gods light in a troubled world. This classic work is being updated to include conversation starters and Bible study questions at the end of each chapter.
