Clutter-Free Christianity Blog Book Tour

Just from the title, the book held great possibilities, and having shared many sections of the book with others, nobody was disappointed or had negative reactions. That says a lot about any book.

We hear so often that it takes so much to be a Christian, the do's and don'ts, just--well, complicated. The Pharisees created 613 regulations that keeps man in a constant state of "I'll never be good enough for God." Jesus gave two great commandments: "Love the Lord your God, and Love your neighbors as yourself." How simple is that!

When did the Christian life become so complicated?

Your greatest desire is to please God, but with each passing week, your spiritual to-do list grows longer. As you strive to fulfill a never-ending inventory of requirements for being a godly parent, spouse, voter, employee, and more, you feel increasingly disconnected from the God you're trying to serve.

It's time to cut through the clutter and get to the heart of what it means to plese God. In this liberating look at the core principles of faith, Dr. Robert Jeffress reveals the truth about what God really wants from you--and what He wants to do for you.

Through solid biblical teaching and practical insights, Dr. Jeffress points you toward a revitalized faith centered on becoming more like Jesus in action, attitude, and affection. You'll learn how to partner with God in the process of spiritual transformation as you choose to follow Christ in forgiveness, obedience, trust, contentment, service, and prayer.

Through a renewed focus on experiencing the kingdom of God right now, you'll find your to-do list shrinking and your spiritual life deepening. It all comes with embracing Clutter-Free Christianity.

Another great feature of this easy to read book is the Bible study guide for personal growth and group discussion.

The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived

Welcome to the Random House blog book tour for Steven K. Scott's new book, "The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived." Scott guides readers in a step-by-step application of the life-changing principles, skills, and methods that Jesus used throughout his earthly life. Although believers may spend a lifetime learning from Jesus' teachings, it's easy to overlook the powerful lessons demonstrated in His life. But when these incomparable lessons are learned and put to use, they enable ordinary people to achieve extraordinary success and happiness.

From Jesus' earthly life readers will learn:
  • How to break through the barriers that prevent them from achieving extraordinary success at work and relational success at home
  • How to experience a level of happiness and fulfillment that nothing the world offers can duplicate
  • How to use adversity and opposition as a springboard for greater success

No matter what a person's area of expertise and in what setting a person influences others, living by the principles of Jesus' life on earth produces extraordinary success, unprecedented achievements, personal fulfillment, and blessings for others.
