Book description
This energetic and engaging call to live life to the full offers you
the chance to rethink what matters to you and why, and to do something
about it. Too often we drift through life, going with the flow or being
tossed by currents beyond our control, and failing to realise that if we
would only fight for the life God meant us for life would be so much
more fulfilling. Eric Delve, the well-known evangelist and organiser of
the Detling Festival, here sets out a strong argument for intentional
living, the need to engage positively with the choices that face us and
the rewards it will bring if we do so. Along the way he challenges us to
face up to who we really are, jettisoning pretence or fantasy, and to
accept our humanity in its weakness and its high potential. Then he
urges us to understand what God's purpose is for us and to let him guide
us into the full life he wants for us - including standing firm through
difficult times. Finally he issues a challenge to us all, to escape from
the modern curse of individualism and accept the need - and wonderful
opportunity - to pass on all we've learnt in life to colleagues, friends
and families - because they're worth it, too. Eric is vicar of St
Luke's Maidstone, Kent and runs the Detling Festival. He travels
extensively, speaking in churches and at conferences, and at Echoes in
Eternity events around the country. This is his first book for a number
of years.
