Synopsis
A compelling new voice among young evangelicals lays out a manifesto for audacious faith--challenging readers to seize a vision for their life that they can only accomplish with God's help, then shows them in practical terms how to live it out on a daily basis.
Synopsis
The pastor of one of America's fastest-growing churches posts a manifesto for "audacious faith," based on the bold battle prayer in Joshua 10. Through biblical evidence and real-life experiences, Furtick shows what happens when ordinary believers move beyond "purpose" to passion, and asking God for the impossible becomes a normal way of life.
