Finding Your Way Back to God: Five Awakenings to Your New Life

Description

 “God, if you’re real, make yourself real to me.”

Each of us spends our lives on a journey toward God. Yet often our most deeply felt longings—for meaning, for love, for significance—end up leading us away from, instead of toward, our Creator and the person he made us to be.

Finding Your Way Back to God shows you how to understand and listen to your longings in a whole new way. It’s about waking up to who you really are, and daring to believe that God wants to be found even more than you want to find him. It’s about making the biggest wager of your life as you ask God to make himself known to you. And it’s about watching what happens next.

What others are saying…

“The Ferguson brothers are the real deal as movement leaders and they have led a burgeoning church planting network on the very principle outlined in this book. As such it is a proven guide to aligning your community with the redemptive purposes of God.”
—Alan Hirsch, author and activist

“Even if you’ve never set foot in a church, you’ve probably heard someone say something like, ‘We’re all searching for God.’ But that search is not a one-way street. In their new book, my friends Dave and Jon believe that more than anything else, God wants us to find him. You need to read this book and rediscover the God who’s been searching for you, all along.”
—Greg Surratt, Founding Pastor, Seacoast Church

“This book is your invitation to start—or restart—your journey toward an authentic connection with God. The awakenings Dave and Jon Ferguson guide you through are nothing less than life changing. Don’t miss this book!”
—Mark Batterson, author of The Circle Maker

“I cannot imagine a better book for anyone who wants to find their way back to God or help others do so.  It is full of inspiring stories that connect to the longings we all have. And the simple prayers and thought provoking questions Dave and Jon suggest will change the way you look at yourself, God, and the purpose of your life.”
—Dr. Rick Richardson, Professor of Evangelism and Leadership at Wheaton College and the Billy Graham Center, author of Experiencing Healing Prayer and Reimagining Evangelism
