Refocus: Living a Life That Reflects God's Heart

Written by Jim Daly, the compassionate leader chosen to follow founder Dr. James Dobson at the helm of Focus on the Family, ReFocus makes it clear that following Jesus should motivate Christians to transcend political agendas and partisan battles and instead consistently reveal the heart of God to a desperately hurting world. Remembering that we are foremost citizens of heaven serving a loving Father, we who call ourselves followers of Christ can once again be known by our love. But how? In what context and through what means? Drawing on a rich variety of true stories and sources both historical and contemporary---from Plato, Martin Luther, and Jonathan Edwards to Francis Schaeffer, Charles Colson, Tim Keller, Gabe Lyons, and more---Daly challenges us to reclaim our responsibility as God's sons and daughters. As followers of Jesus with his humility and compassion as our model, ReFocus: Living a Life that Reflects God's Heart demonstrates how Christians can show the world an inexplicable taste of grace with no agenda other than to reveal the heart of God as the loving Abba father he is.
