Living the Christ Life by Rebecca (English) Lawson

A Collection of Daily Readings by Classic Deeper-Life Authors

NEWLY PACKAGED AND REPRINTED FOR 2023 with a Foreword by Jim Cymbala.

Many Christians are hungry for a deeper walk with God, but too often we fail to see the results we hope for. Why is this?

Frequently it’s because we’re trying to please God by the power of self instead of the power of the Spirit. Sometimes, especially if we’ve spent years missing the mark, it’s easy to become discouraged and give up altogether.

Godly men and women throughout history have understood this struggle. In this easy-to-read 366-day devotional, people like Amy Carmichael, F. B. Meyer, Andrew Murray, and others who walked closely with God show us how to die to self and to surrender to the Spirit. Their writings, blending teaching and testimony, unfold what it means to abide in Christ through topics like the cross, obedience, prayer, revival, and missions.

From the days of the early church to today, the answer has been the same: “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Col. 1:27). As we surrender the self-life for the Christ life, God will revive us, both individually and corporately. The result will be life, joy, rest, increasing spiritual maturity, prayer, a desire for service, and a love for people.
