Synopsis

What is it that you long for? Dream about? Hunger after? We all desire more than just the endurance of our daily routines. But often we feel limited and stuck — like we’re merely existing instead of living. That’s not the way it was meant to be. God intends the humanity in each of us to be deeply experienced, lavishly enjoyed, and exuberantly celebrated. In fact this is what the gospel is all about. Yes, the gospel. Contrary to conventional thinking — inside and outside the church — following Jesus is not about denying our humanness but embracing it. Rather than acting more spiritual or being more religious, we’re called and enabled to become more fully human… and alive. Matt Heard escorts us on a journey of discovery: that Jesus didn’t come to save us from our humanity — Christ instead yearns to restore it to what God originally intended. Matt then explores ten key areas where everyday life can become extraordinary Life. Christ promised we could “live life to the full.” He didn’t just mean eventually. Life with a Capital L is the Life you are longing for. Now.

Goodreads review by Sam on November 13, 2016

The author is very long winded and this book should be edited down quite a bit which would make it all the more potent... but anyway, once you make it through the countless descriptions, stories and metaphors, the main ideas are excellent.......more

Goodreads review by Dan on August 09, 2019

Seeking Figs Among Thistles Author Matt Heard begins with the observation that many in the church today live as if Jesus had died but was not resurrected. They believe he died for their sins, but his resurrection has no discernible effect on their day to day lives as they are not actively partaking i......more

Goodreads review by Delaney on November 05, 2018

I'm typically the type to read reviews on books and not write them, but this time is different. This book changed my life. Being a reluctant Christian, starting this book, I didn't really have the best relationship with the church. Organized religion just seemed robotic and manipulative and overly t......more
