Take the Deal: Why Following Jesus Makes Life Better Here and Now [9781400334087]

Overview

Embracing Jesus's teachings leads to a lighter, more joyful path to everyday faith and true fulfillment. It’s the abundant life that begins here and now. This Christ-centered guide reveals how living a life of trust, simplicity, and inner peace is not only possible but is also the most stress-free way to experience change and hope.

Take the Deal is a bold, counterintuitive invitation to rethink what it means to follow Jesus and why, despite what you might expect, it's truly the easiest way to live. At first, Hansen's premise may sound a little nuts. After all, forgiveness is hard, right? Trusting God isn't easy. Praying for your enemies? That sounds impossible. But as Hansen reveals with wit, honesty, and fresh insight, the alternatives—unforgiveness, anxiety, bitterness—are actually much harder.

In this transformative and timely book, Hansen explores how Jesus's genius teachings are not only freeing but brilliantly designed for our emotional, spiritual, and even physical well-being. Jesus's way is more restful, His burden is light, and His invitation is for everyone to experience a fulfilling life now, not just in the afterlife.
