Do you ever wonder what your next step should be? If there is more to life? Do you crave something… better? Our culture and our own human nature drive us to crave many things: wealth, popularity, success, marriage, parenthood, and good health. None of these things are inherently bad, but neither will they satisfy our greatest craving-to be loved by our Savior. Through lessons drawn from the Bible and stories drawn from real life, The Life You Crave shows that God works in consistent and beautiful ways to give us a life that has more depth, fullness, substance, and meaning than we could ever imagine or achieve on our own. God draws close to us. He turns us around. And He fulfills every desperate, yearning, aching need with His pure and unending grace. Book jacket.

Looking to make a positive impact in your life? Look to your own internal guidance system first! The one activity each of us can pursue that would make the most significant impact in every life and in the world in general is to follow our internal guidance system—sometimes called the conscience. With Rex Conner’s insights, we can change the world! If you want to get what you crave out of life in just the way you want it, look no further than your own internal guidance system. There are many ways to apply this guidance if you know what to look for. This book contains a few of the most foundational and critical of those applications. For example, when we act on the assumption that love is unconditional and relationships are not, we are then free to be guided to make the best individual relationships in our lives. We won’t need to rely on other people or on societal norms or what might work in other relationships. When we learn to rely first on our internal guidance system to make the big crossroads decisions in our lives, we will be able to analyze and prioritize the avalanche of well-meaning advice we may receive from others. These are just two of the many applications of using your internal guidance system that will lead you to what you crave from your life. There is no preaching in Rex’s advice. The only advice Rex gives is to follow our internal guidance system until it leads us to the power within us! Who will this book serve? • You, if you are facing significant crossroads decisions in your life. • You, if all of the noise in the world leaves you feeling like you should do what you can about it. • You, if you feel that you should be contributing more to people or to life than you currently are, but don’t know to whom or how. • You, if you need permission to align your life with an inner voice or calling that seems to be compelling you to take action that you have been avoiding. • You, if you feel the need to develop your skills but realize current educational options will not result in that development. • You, if you are climbing the ladder of success but sense that it might be leaning against the wrong wall. • You, if you are compelled to make your life something that your inner guidance will judge to be a success. • You, if you have the influence to help someone who may need help.

"Sweet Spot." Ever swung a baseball bat or paddled a Ping-Pong ball? If so, you know the oh-so-nice feel of the sweet spot. Life in the sweet spot rolls like the downhill side of a downwind bike ride. But you don't have to swing a bat or a club to know this. What engineers give sports equipment, God gave you. A zone, a region, a life precinct in which you were made to dwell. He tailored the curves of your life to fit an empty space in his jigsaw puzzle. And life makes sweet sense when you find your spot. But if you're like 70 percent of working adults, you haven't found it. You don't find meaning in your work, or you don't believe your talents are used. What can you do? You're suffering from the common life, and you desperately need a cure. Best-selling author Max Lucado has found it. In Cure for the Common Life, he offers practical tools for exploring and identifying your own uniqueness, motivation to put your strengths to work, and the perfect prescription for finding and living in your sweet spot for the rest of your life.
A beautiful invitation to discover your place in God's heart and let him set the pace for your life—from a wife and mother, singer-songwriter, and worship leader for Passion Conferences and IF:Gathering “Christy Nockels is a gentle, strong voice shepherding us into a fuller life with Jesus at the very center. This book will restore your weary soul.”—Jennie Allen, New York Times bestselling author of Get Out of Your Head and founder and visionary of IF:Gathering Christy Nockels knows firsthand how easily our desire to serve God—even when using the gifts He has given us—can overshadow our delight in simply being with Him. When God called her to lay down her ministry for a season, Christy was forced to confront how her sense of purpose and worth had become tangled up in her work. God then lovingly invited her to discover true rest in His presence as she learned to live as the Beloved. In The Life You Long For, Christy shows us how to let go of hustle and achievement and instead find our identity in the quiet center of God’s love. As we delight in being with Him, we are filled to overflowing with contentment and love that propel us into an entirely new way of being, one in which every act of service and every encounter with the people around us arise from a heart at rest. With irresistible warmth and grace, this book calls you to step fully into the life you didn’t even realize you’ve been seeking, as you find your highest calling not in a duty to uphold but in a beautiful identity to live out.
