There Is a Way: Nine Vital Skills for an Excellent Christian Journey - Hardcover

by C. Dennis Kaufman (Author), Bob Russell (Foreword by)

There Is a Way is all about how we get from where we are to where God wants us to be. It is no easy task to describe this trek, but it is the author's goal to offer intriguing ideas and concepts regarding this adventure God offers us. As a pastor and therapist, Kaufman has had a bird's eye view of the life journey of hundreds of people. He uses biblical truth and compatible psychological concepts to describe the skills and practices that help us get from the "as is" to our desired goals. This book is designed to be pragmatic. Although there are plenty of deep thoughts to wrestle with, it is also crafted to speak in practical ways about what works. This book includes nine real-life case studies that illustrate how these skills can lead us to a fulfilling life of faith. When we are committed to integrating God's truth into daily life, growth and positive change tend to follow. It is the author's prayer that these pages stir things within you to see God more clearly, love God more, and find the jet stream of God's grace for your future.
