Publisher's Summary: We live in a culture that permits everything, surrounded by people skimming the surface of life, trying to piece together meaning from ever-shifting truths and fleeting fads. But in a world that stands for nothing, you can choose to stand for something. With warmth and wisdom that only comes from weathering the storms of life, Dennis Rainey shares seven ways to not only build a strong foundation, but to choose to live the life of purpose and potential you were created for. When the winds of culture blow, you will be able to stand firm on the truth. You will be able to choose a life that matters. A life that makes a difference in the here and now - a life that echoes into eternity. You are at crossroads of culture and Christianity. Which way will you choose to live?

Members Reviews: A great book to keep the main things the main things. Great short book that hits well on 7 key areas for Christian's life and priorities. My wife and I read it together and we both benefited from it. A good read for personal realignment in faith, or at transition points in life.

Power comes in small packages An hour or so read and worth every minute. I will read it several times a year. Powerful reminders that we all need. an excellent book.

Four Stars Good, solid Dennis Rainey

Love this simple little book! Wonderful gift to give your teenage kids!!!

A small book with a big impact About a decade ago Rainey was asked to speak at the commencement ceremony of a prominent divinity school. He wanted to give the graduates something that would help them choose a life that matters. As he pondered what to say, he determined the essence of what the Bible teaches about what God expects of us. He came up with seven concepts and writes about them here. Seek God, not sin Fear God, not man Love God, not the world Believe God, not the deceiver Obey God, not your feelings Worship God, not comfort Serve God, not self Rainey writes from a life time of serving the Lord in Christian ministry. He has developed a good understanding of the kind of life that pleases God. These seven concepts have served him well as boundaries and direction for his thoughts as he lived life. He has tested them for a decade and now offers them to readers. This is a good book, one that can be read over and over again. We need reminding of what God desires of us. We need encouragement to live in a manner pleasing to Him. Rainey has provided that for us in this small but powerful book. Rainey wanted his readers to be able to make quality decisions and be able to carry them out. He has included suggestions of life skills at the end of each chapter. My favorite was the section on fearing God, not man. Essential, Rainey writes, is practicing the presence of God. He gives several practical suggestions to help us be more aware of God and reorient our lives around Him. I recommend this book to Christians who want to live a life pleasing to God. You'll receive some good instruction, read some good stories, and get some practical ideas to live out your godly commitments. Food for thought: âTo me, life in Christ is a process of God weaning us from loving this world while increasing our capacity and experience of loving Him.â (Loc 537/1246) I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher.
