Four Legs and a Stretcher: Constructing an Intentional Faith That Leads to Godliness

The five components of a chair base, that of four legs and a stretcher, represent five areas of spiritual formation that godly faith requires.

The four legs symbolize truth, love, fellowship, and what the author calls faith disciplines—and the stretcher that connects them characterizes the practice of being spiritually minded about them.

God intended each of the components to play a vibrant role in the way we construct our lives. Like a chair with a dependable base, a life supported by these five components can be secure, rewarding, and purposeful.

This devotional explores each component in detail, including their interrelationship and connection to each other. As you read, you’ll consider questions such as:

• How can you build a base of godly faith that securely and dependably supports a fulfilling life?
• What purposeful steps must you take to grow and mature in faith?
• How can you apply the concepts of purposeful design and engineering to your life?

Throughout the book, you’ll find anecdotes and highlights from the author’s life that will make your journey of faith relevant and achievable.

Take a fresh approach to understanding, applying, and growing in faith and spirituality with the wisdom in Four Legs and a Stretcher.
