Breathing New Life into Faith
The history of the church if filled with stories of people who began well but didn't finished. They're contrasted with those whose faith not only lasted, but ripened into a rich blend of courage and humility, joy and authenticity, mercy and justice, hope and love. What made the difference?
Though there are many factors, one common thread that runs among those whose faith managed to survive was that they'd developed practices and habits which nurtured their lives, enabling Christ to express His life through them in greater and great measure over time.
This book takes a look at those habits and practices and explains what they are, why they matter, and how the reader can slowly build some of these practices into their own daily living in the 21st century.

Deeply encouraging and convicting.
Dahlstrom’s address to the American evangelical church is a thoughtful, gentle rebuke of the perils of mirroring culture, isolating from it, or turning our barbs towards those in the Church who are doing Christianity wrong.
This is like John Mark Comer’s “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry” in that it discusses a number of practices from Christ and the Church that strengthen our faith and our testimony, e.g. Sabbath, solitude, generosity, hospitality.
A long read. Some redundancy. Certainly not written to be as easy a read as Comer’s book. But good.
