Book Synopsis

God never intended the Christian life to be boring, empty, or irrelevant. In The Rest of Your Story, Pastor Greg Lindsey takes us on a journey past forgiveness to freedom.

The journey starts with diving deep into our own stories so we can let go of the shame, regret, and pain that are holding us back. Only then can we discover all the ways we need Jesus' help--and become people of godly passion who live out the true desires of our hearts.

Many of us find that despite our best religious efforts, we're still chasing God's abundant life instead of enjoying it. In The Rest of Your Story, Pastor Greg Lindsey shows us why believing the "right" things or behaving the "right" way will never lead to our fullest life. True spiritual growth happens when we journey with Jesus back into our stories.

The Rest of Your Story is a roadmap to what God wants our Christian life to be: passionate, joy-filled, fulfilling, significant, and freeing.
Along with his own vulnerable story of redemption, Greg shares:

• The dangers of knowing the significance of our sin but not the significance of our stories
• Ways our spiritual enemy uses our past to keep us from realizing our purpose
• The difference between living forgiven and living free
• Why the places we are most afraid to go lead us to the life we don't want to miss

What you've done and what you've experienced is not who you are. As you identify how your past is keeping you from experiencing Jesus' abundant life, you'll find that God can turn the deepest pain into your richest treasure.
