Publisher's Description
▼▲Lost? Explore the way to life!
We've lost the way that leads to life. With competing priorities and rival demands, we're more confused than ever in how to live the life Jesus offers. Is it the church way, the American way, or the busy way? With so many ways facing us, we're more paralyzed than alive; more perplexed than sure; more bewildered than confident. The Jesus Life offers eight compelling ways to help us rediscover what it really means to follow Jesus in the 21st century.

Endorsements
▼▲"Steve Smith cuts through the religious paraphernalia and daily clutter that obstructs our path to lives of purpose and power, and he clearly explains the simplicity of The Jesus Life in the Kingdom of God. He has deep insights into how we have come to live the way we do, in church and out. With refreshing realism and wide-ranging knowledge, he helps us identify dear illusions that bog us down and introduces us to simple steps and arrangements that enable eternal living. The directions he gives are self-validating. We have only to 'just do it.' The Jesus Life would be ideal for real spiritual progress in small groups in church and in community. Serious individual engagement with it will bring assurance that the life praised in our songs and scriptures can be ours." - Dallas Willard, author of The Divine Conspiracy
"I hear so many Christians despairingly cry out, wanting to know why they are not experiencing the abundant life that Jesus promised. In The Jesus Life, Steve Smith crafts a way back to finding this life. If you are hungering for this life, get this book and read it!" - Bob Arnold, executive director, Metro-Maryland Youth for Christ
"I have made it my custom to search for books that escort me onto the path of deeper repentance. I do this because Acts 5:31 calls repentance a gift and because Martin Luther rightly counseled that 'our Lord and Master Jesus Christ willed the entire life for believers to be one of repentance. The Jesus Life advanced my steps toward deeper repentance. This book bade me press truth into the cracks and crevices of my life for a much-needed turning from self and to Jesus. I am thankful for Stephens good work." - Joseph V. Novenson, pastor, Lookout Mountain Presbyterian Church
"The Jesus Life stands to become the trusted primer on following Jesus well. Its a rich meal, well prepared. Give yourself to this book and youll feel like you've got a hand to hold, a cheerleader, and a reliable guide on the only path that really matters." - Paula Rinehart, author of Strong Women, Soft Hearts and Better Than My Dreams
"The Jesus Life is a link between knowing Jesus and living Jesus. Steve Smith uses the daily experiences common to us all to guide us into the absolute livability of Jesus. This book is thoughtful and engaging - every page introduces us to a life that is rooted in Someone who is the beginning, middle and ending of all our stories. After reading this book the Jesus life became more than a book title. It is becoming an accessible way of life that I long for with renewed hope to be the sum and substance of my story." - Sharon A. Hersh, M.A., LPC, sought-after speaker and author of many books, including Bravehearts, The Last Addiction, and Begin Again, Believe Again.
"We've tried everything to live life to the fullest only to find out that we lost the way life was meant to be lived. Steve Smith shows us eight practical ways Jesus lived his life that will help us recover the life that we have lost." - Mark D. Linsz, treasurer, Bank of America
