Description
What will it take for the church to experience a global great awakening? In The Second Half Challenge, pastor and author J. D. Walt shows how awakening begins with a few who are willing to stretch beyond comfortable faith and into depth discipleship. Too many Christians are arrested in their faith development, repeating the same predictable patterns and stuck in the same broken storylines. This book offers a thirty day field-guide designed to help people get unstuck from their ruts, move beyond sin management, deal with their deeper brokenness and discover the life in Christ they always knew was possible. Walt has a way of interpreting and teaching Scripture in ways simultaneously ancient and fresh. Readers will experience depth of practical insight into the ways of God and their own lives. As well, readers will be led into a lost and forgotten way of disciple-making: banded discipleship. The Second Half Challenge is a seven week journey, including daily readings for 6 days of each week to lead you to experience a greater awakening in your own life and faith, an awakening that will lead to profound love for God and neighbor and a deeper and more purposeful participation of the mission of Jesus Christ in the world.
