Higher Pursuits: Overcoming the Lies that Keep Us from Freedom, Power, and Purpose

FREEDOM! POWER! PURPOSE! Have you experienced these amazing realities that God can bring into our lives? Many people who profess to know God haven’t discovered these and, as a result, are underwhelmed with their experience. So they look elsewhere to find wholeness–medical treatment, behavioral conditioning, psychotherapy, and self-help resources. These offer value, but they often deliver disappointing results. It’s fascinating to think that, in the New Testament, Christians lived without our modern methods for personal change, yet they experienced remarkable freedom, power, and purpose. So what did they grasp that we often miss? In Higher Pursuits, Author Dave Bowerman presents a powerful premise: The early believers possessed all the truth they needed for the transformation that they desired, and that we should access that same truth. In our pursuit of the latest ideas, we’ve made life change harder than it has to be. Our aim is not to avoid technology or present- day resources. Rather, it’s to understand and experience what is offered in the Gospel, and discover for ourselves how it heals our spirit and sets us on a path of success. In Higher Pursuits, Dave reveals the Seven Lies that lead us into seemingly unbreakable struggles and, more importantly, the Seven Pursuits that bring freedom unlike we’ve known. “I applaud your work and how you have left yourself out of the focus and put Jesus and His work in clear view. People in our church are still talking about how the principles they have applied have continued to steer them away from harmful, destructive actions, and into positive ways to live out a fulfilled, God- honoring life.” Pastor Ray Tetrault Grace Fellowship Church Kokomo, IN
