If life occasionally seems to spin out of control, it's time to try living on God's terms instead of your own. Imagine a life worth living-in which you aren't wondering what's coming next, or where you're supposed to be, but instead you allow God to guide your choices. All you need is willingness to align your heart to His. Dr. John Strubhar, longtime Lead Pastor of churches in Indiana, Illinois, and California, walks us through a fresh look at the biblical narrative of Jonah. Pastor Strubhar helps readers unpack four chapters of crucially important lessons about the way God intends us to live-with faith, love, grace, and compassion. In this book, you'll learn: - How God can help you redirect when you're running toward the wrong end zone - Why belly praying is the best course of action when you're in deep trouble - How to handle second chances - Why you should rejoice when crises hit your life like a freight train - Why making life less about you is the best thing for you - Where to look for the guaranteed solution to your shortcomings - Why God will do anything in His infinite power to reach you Plus workbook sections will help you stop running away from God and begin running toward Him. No matter how often you mess up or fall short of meeting God's expectations, He will never stop pursuing you! Are you ready to hand your life over to God and let Him direct your steps? Then pick up your copy of Life Worth Living and begin reflecting God's heart regardless of circumstances-while bringing His Word to the people in your life who need it most.
