Are you struggling to figure out what your purpose is? Have you ever wished that you could be better at sharing Christ with your family and friends?Awakening to God book and workbook will teach you how to do this. It will help you to discover God?s power and your purpose on Earth!The early church turned the world upside down. With only a few followers of Jesus filled with the Holy Spirit, the gospel message of love and transformation spread like wildfire; it could not be contained or held back. What was the secret?the ?Jesus way??behind such a radical movement of the gospel? And what would it take for a spiritual renewal to happen today?in your church, your community, your world, and your own heart?Gerard Long, former president of Alpha USA, has seen that spiritual awakenings tend to occur when God?s people understand their calling and prepare through prayer, personal renewal, and action. In Awakening, he offers a compelling vision for a ?Jesus way? of widespread spiritual renewal, equipping you to better love people into the Kingdom of God. You?ll become empowered to live the abundant life given to us in Christ?and step out in faith to fulfill God?s calling.It?s time for an awakening. Sharing biblical truth and practical advice gained through his own spiritual journey, Gerard compels us to go and live the abundant life given to us in Christ. To rediscover the gospel that calls us to action. To become fishers of men. To change the world.Pastors and Group Leaders: An effective way to mobilize your church is for members to learn together in their small groups. Based on the Awakening to God book, this small group work book will guide your members through together on how to reach their family and friends for Christ. This can also be part of the church strategy to reach people for Christ. For example, prior to Easter or Christmas or before starting an Alpha course. The most effective way for people to come to church is when they are invited by a friend!!
