What do you do after you believe? Imagine the shock felt by Jesus' disciples. They had witnessed the unprecedented drama ofthe Incarnation of God in the person of Jesus, his remarkable miracles, hisbrutal death and then-beyond all belief-his stunning resurrection from thedead. Their leader and Messiah was aliveagain and would lead them to redeem his people. But then, as suddenly as he had appeared, Jesus just left. It was over. Or was it? Before Jesus left he entrusted his disciples-and us-witha critical mission: to launch a spiritual and social revolution that wouldturn the world upside down. We were togo to the far corners of the earth to proclaim the gospel and demonstrate thelove of God to a hurting and hostile world. Jesus called this mission "'the advance of thekingdom of God", and when the job was done,He promised to return. But two thousand years later the mission remains unfinished. This book is aninvitation to discover the life that God created you to live. It's not about failure and guilt but moreabout opportunities and joy, because God doesn't coerce us-he invitesus. He offers meaning, fulfillment, andsignificance in our lives but always gives us the option to decline, and sadly,many do. It is time to rediscover our calling. It is time to relaunch.
