A Habit Called Faith: 40 Days in the Bible to Find and Follow Jesus
Ebook
Today's neurological research has placed habit at the center of
human behavior; we are what we do repetitively. When we want to add
something to our life, whether it's exercise, prayer, or just
getting up earlier in the morning, we know that we must turn an
activity into a habit through repetition or it just won't stick.
What would happen if we applied the same kind of daily dedication
to faith? Could faith become a habit, a given--automatic?
With vulnerable storytelling and insightful readings of both Old
and New Testament passages, Jen Pollock Michel invites the
convinced and the curious into a 40-day Bible reading experience.
Vividly translating ancient truths for a secular age, Michel
highlights how the biblical text invites us to see, know, live,
love, and obey. The daily reflection questions and weekly
discussion guides invite both individuals and groups, believers and
doubters alike, to explore how faith, even faith as small as a
mustard seed, might grow into a life-defining habit.
