Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Why do so many faithful people know what is right-and still struggle to live it consistently Training the Heart: How Christ Changes What We Do speaks directly to the quiet frustration of sincere disciples who believe deeply, try earnestly, and yet find themselves returning again and again to the same struggles. This is not a book for skeptics or those seeking quick fixes. It is for believers who love God, desire holiness, and wonder why knowledge alone has not brought the change they hoped for.With warmth, clarity, and literary grace, Training the Heart reframes discipleship not as a test of willpower but as a process of formation. Drawing on scripture, lived experience, and timeless spiritual wisdom, the book shows that Christ does not demand instant consistency. He trains hearts patiently-through small choices, repeated returns, wise structure, and grace that restores rather than excuses.Each chapter gently dismantles common misunderstandings about effort, discipline, and failure, replacing shame with clarity and exhaustion with hope. Readers are invited to stop asking condemning questions, to make obedience sustainable, to decide wisely before temptation arrives, to arrange their lives so goodness is easier to choose, and to use grace as fuel rather than refuge.Written in a reflective, accessible style reminiscent of the great Christian writers, this book combines spiritual depth with practical guidance. Each chapter concludes with a simple, humane practice designed not to overwhelm, but to train-helping readers move from intention to habit, from discouragement to steady faithfulness.Training the Heart offers a liberating message: you are not broken, deficient, or failing at discipleship. You are learning. And learning, in Christ's hands, is enough.For anyone who has ever wondered whether lasting change is possible without losing tenderness of heart, this book offers a clear and hopeful answer. Christ is not in a hurry. He is forming something real. And He is still walking with you.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - What does it mean to live the gospel of Jesus Christ For one boy growing up in Ohio, the answer often came not in sermons or lectures, but in the ordinary moments of life-and in the extraordinary wisdom of his father.A salt shaker half-filled with pepper.A muddy shoe by the back door.A pocket calculator.A prism on the windowsill.Two horses racing side by side.Through everyday objects and simple stories, a father revealed profound spiritual lessons-about faith, repentance, service, agency, and the courage to choose Christ when the world pulls away.In this collection of deeply personal reflections, you'll discover how the gospel comes alive not only in chapels and scriptures but in kitchens, highways, backyards, and conversations that linger long after the moment passes. Each chapter weaves together a childhood memory, a gospel principle, and timeless counsel from prophets and apostles, showing how ordinary life points us to the Savior when we are willing to see.At its heart, this book is about legacy-the kind that cannot be measured in money or possessions, but in faith passed down through stories, lessons, and a lived example. It is about the way a father's quiet teachings can echo across generations, pointing hearts to Christ.The message is simple yet urgent: the gospel is not a checklist, but a way of living. True discipleship is measured in how we love, serve, and trust the Watchmaker who designed our lives with perfect purpose.Whether you are a youth seeking guidance, a parent striving to teach, or a disciple of Christ desiring strength in a chaotic world, these pages invite you to see the divine in the ordinary and to live the gospel with greater courage, purpose, and love.'Church is where we learn the gospel. Life is where we live it.'.…
