40 Days Of Spiritual Awareness - by Sheila K Alewine (Paperback)

About the Book

All around us, God is at work. He is drawing unbelievers and He is prompting His followers to be instruments of the gospel in the lives of others. Are we listening? Are we ready to join Him in His work?

Book Synopsis

How often do we walk through our day oblivious to the work that God is doing? We desire His presence in our lives and want to be part of His kingdom purposes, but our minds are distracted by the duties and obligations of our daily life. As Christ-followers, we know there is a greater calling, and we long to step into it, but the demand of raising children, caring for aging parents, or just the daily grind of making a living and paying the bills outweighs our desire for a spiritual life focused on God.

All around us, God is at work. He is drawing unbelievers to Himself and He is prompting His followers to be instruments of the gospel in the lives of others. Are we listening?

40 Days Of Spiritual Awareness focuses on how God uses His children to share the good news of the gospel. This devotional will remind you of what is important: an awareness of God's work in our world, as He redeems and saves. Built on solid Biblical doctrine, each day's scripture and devotional thought will encourage, motivate and equip believers to carry out the Great Commission. At the end of the journey, you will realize that you are an important part of accomplishing that work, and be prepared to join Him where you live, work and play. 80 pages, soft cover.

Review Quotes

"As a church planter and pastor in the northwest, we battle a numbness to the reality of the spiritual condition of the region. Even the church is desensitized to the ever-present hand of God working around us. We are distracted by chaotic schedules. We are discouraged by overwhelming stress and constant inadequacy. We are often willfully blinded by the desires of our own hearts. 40 Days of Spiritual Awareness helped us as a church to recognize what God is doing all around us. As a body, we began to see how to engage those around us with new clarity and confidence. Easter Sunday we celebrated the culmination of the "40 Days" by baptizing one of the biggest drug dealers in our region. I can't wait for this year's 40 Days of Spiritual Awareness!" -- Alan James, Pastor, Montana

"This little book is such a resource for me. I can honestly say that was like a friend greeted me each time I opened it! And this friend helped me direct my attention and thoughts to our God who loves us and wants us to become more in tune with Him! Every section of this book took me down important avenues of thought: reminding me of things like the sovereignty of God and the power of prayer and the awareness that God is divinely seeing each heart of every human and orchestrating ways for us to know Him better. Just a quick read of a Scripture verse - perfectly applied, explained - then the "think it through" section would have me open my eyes, sometimes even catch my breath, and challenge me."-- Jayme Miller
