Soul Revolution

How Imperfect People Become All God Intended

Author: John Burke and Dr. Henry Cloud  

Paperback

Burke, founder of Gateway Church in Austin, Tex., and author of No Perfect People Allowed, asks powerful questions in his second book: "What drives us to strive so hard? What are we really after? What do we long for?" Burke believes our deepest longings are fulfilled through relationships with God and others, and he provides a way to create those relationships through a 60-day experiment in faith. He says that willingness is the key to staying connected to God at least once every 60 minutes for 60 days. His book offers a roadmap for the "60-60 Experiment" through loving God, loving people, building character and demonstrating God's love to the world. Burke uses Bible texts and real-life examples liberally, as well as action steps with each chapter to make principles personal. He encourages accountability, yet eschews traditional groups that encourage participants to "try harder" because "we can never become all that God intends just by trying harder." Connecting to God creates genuine change, he says. This is a thorough, well-written and challenging book. (Oct.) -- Publisher's Weekly

Purpose, success, a better life…we all want it, but does it come to us or through us? Find out in this 60-day experiment in loving God and loving people. It’s been proven in thousands of lives. Now experience for yourself how moment-by-moment connection to God with willingness fulfills our deepest longings and changes us into life-giving people.

Description

You've heard it all before. The promises for a better life get tiresome after awhile, because you know they don't deliver. However, they do touch on a profound and inescapable truth. You were created to live your life out of a rewarding, richly textured relationship with God and others--and deep down, you long to experience that kind of life. But how? Are you willing to devote sixty days to finding out?

Soul Revolution may be one of the most important books you'll ever read. In it, author and pastor John Burke guides you on a journey of experiential discovery. Called the "60-60 Experiment," it has already made a profound impact on thousands who have discovered what it means to actually "do life" with God.
