Sun Stand Still What Happens When You Dare to Ask God for the Impossible

If You're Not Daring to Believe God for the Impossible, You're Sleeping through Some of the Best Parts of Your Christian Life. This book is not a Snuggie. The words on these pages will not go down like Ambien. I'm not writing to calm or coddle you. With God's help, I intend to incite a riot in your mind. Trip your breakers and turn out the lights in your favorite hiding places of insecurity and fear. Then flip the switch back on so that God's truth can illuminate the divine destiny that may have been lying dormant inside you for years. In short, I'm out to activate your audacious faith. To inspire you to ask God for the impossible. And in the process, to reconnect you with your God-sized purpose and potential. Audacious faith is the raw material that authentic Christianity is made of. It's the stuff that triggers ordinarily level-headed people like you and me to start living with unusual boldness. When you live this way, you'll discover that faith isn't just a Get Out of Hell Free card. It's the most vital building block of your relationship with God. And it's the only real foundation worth establishing your life on. From the Trade Paperback edition.
