Messy Spirituality

God's Annoying Love for Imperfect People

De: Mike Yaconelli

Narrado por: Fred Stella

Find freedom from legalism's should's and discover the deep spirituality of being loved by the God who meets and transforms you in the midst of a messy and unpredictable life.

Do you ever feel like you don't pray enough, read your Bible enough, share your faith enough, love God enough...and ultimately that you're not a very good Christian?

Welcome to the club. Messy Spirituality was written for the silent majority of us who are convinced we just don't do Christianity right. Mike Yaconelli dares to suggest that imperfection, unfinishedness, and messiness are, in fact, the earmarks of true Christianity; that real Christianity is messy, erratic, lopsided...and gloriously liberating.

In this audiobook, he challenges you to let go of the legalism that holds you back and embrace the grace freedom that God offers. He opens your eyes to the one-size-fits-all spirituality churches often want us to embrace and shares what it truly means to walk with God in a deep, intimate, life-changing way.

Full of innovative ideas and concepts, Messy Spirituality is a classic that offers timeless wisdom for anyone ready to be free from the bonds of perfectionism.

Spanish edition also available.

Incredibly honest testimony

The author puts himself out there, vulnerable and honest, willing to use his weaknesses to point to our need for a loving Creator.

You don’t have to be enough

I don’t have to be 100% all the time. Christ is and that’s enough. Surrender.

The messy me!

This was a great book! It spoke to the mess that is me, and showed me a grace and love of Jesus!

Messy Spirituality

A wonderful journey through an affirmation of what used to be an extremely confusing reflection of my misunderstanding of what a life pursuit of Jesus was supposed to look like. Now that I understand more clearly that Jesus only wants our pursuit and does not want us to have a self expectation of perfection, I can be free to walk with Jesus and be calm when the world is messy.

Spiritual Food

I absolutely love this audio book. it is truly amazing. I am happy to be one over the top messy individual loved by a big, forgiving God❤

This was a great message.

I really appreciated the author's honesty about his situations and his perspective on some of the stories I've heard all my life. Even his explanation understanding of Jesus's ministry on Earth.

It’s ok to not be perfect

I read a lot of motivational content and there is a lot of drive to push you to be better than you currently are. To stop making excuses. To just go win. And while I do agree in pushing yourself to grow, this book is an incredibly pleasant view into the reality of a Christian life. Not to make excuses as to continue in unhealthy living but to be at peace with your failures and humanness. To realized God accepts you just as you are. Whether you’ve never learned much about God or you’ve grown up like me in more strict settings in churches where you constantly feel like you’re not enough, this book, I believe, shows the real heart of God. You cannot escape his love and nothing you do will disqualify you from his love.

a new favorite!

just what my soul needed! my brain, too! life is messy. faith can be, too.

Humbling and Profound

If this book doesn’t change your view of your own spiritual life and the life to which we are being called, nothing will.

Emotional

How bad do we all miss Mike?

There is no way to listen to this and not get emotional. What a great book.
