You only get one life – so you need to make the most of it
Do you feel like too often you drift through life, going with the flow or being tossed by currents beyond your control? Do you sometimes think that if we could only fight for the life God meant for us, life could be so much more fulfilling? This energetic and engaging book from renowned evangelist and founder of the Detling Festival Eric Delve is a challenge to rethink what matters to you and why…and to do something about it!
LIVE LIKE YOU MEAN IT draws on the Bible stories of David, the shepherd boy who would be king, and Jesus, the odd-job man who became the Saviour of the World, and digs deep into the humanity of these great heroes to reveal the full potential of your own life, and equip you to find that potential – with God’s help.
Eric 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 we are challenged to face up to who we really are, jettisoning pretence or fantasy, and to accept our humanity in its weakness as well as its high potential. Eric 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. Once we’ve learnt how to balance the demands of work and home, of now against the future, the desire for achievement against the need for peace and contemplation, we can start really living like we mean it!
Eric Delve 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.
‘WOW! This book is INSIGHTFUL, INSTRUCTIVE, INSPIRATIONAL and INVIGORATING.’
J.John
‘Eric Delve tackles the age-old question of what life is all about and how we can "Move beyond survival to success, and beyond success to significance." Don't miss it.’
Rob Parsons
‘Beautifully written – it almost reads like a novel – bubbling over with hope and encouragement, Eric has given us an intriguing interpretation of the life of David ‘the man after God’s own heart’ linking it with the life of David’s greater son, Jesus. In doing so he gives us pointers to become as they were, people who live out God’s dreams.’
