Publisher's summary

Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." That's the offer of Christianity, from God himself.

Just look at what happens when people are touched by Jesus: the blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life. In other words, to be touched by God is to be restored. To become all God meant you to be. That is what Christianity is supposed to do for you; make you whole, set you free, bring you fully alive.

But Jesus also warned that the path to that life is narrow, and few people would find it. You'll notice few have. Waking the Dead will help you find that life, see the fierce battle over your heart, and embrace all that God has for you.

There is so much more. Do you want it?

Critic reviews

"The book...has an unguarded heart and an opinionated lucidity that may surprise readers. Eldredge is honest about the fact that life can be arduous, confusing and filled with despair, but he also affirms a deep Christian hope." (Publishers Weekly)

Excellent

I was leary of listening to another christian book for fear that it might be slow and boring but not this one! It was fresh, fast and inspiring. The author challenged me again and again to renew my faith and see my life as a journey of faith. I will listen to this again.

Centering on the goodness of heart!

Very well and passionately read. The central premise focusing not on the need to become alive in Christ, where that is essential, but rather how Christ is extending an invitation to view your heart the way He see's it. Through this He guides you into an understanding that the true desire of our hearts is to dwell in His presence and navigate inner healing and facilitate healing in others!

Eye opening and powerful!

I wanted to keep listening. It was hard to stop, because I was so hungry for the hope that was expressed through the words. However, the depth was so hard to absorb, that I had to listen in small bits. I needed time to pray through it. My mind would wander off and explore what was said and I would miss the next part. This is a book that will need to be listened to again and again to fully comprehend the whole message that is being taught.
