Get Off The Bench And Back In The Game: Conquering The Forces That Keep Us From Enjoying The Life God Has Designed For Us

Get Off The Bench And Back In The Game deals with realities Christians face every day: fear, guilt, complacency, self-righteousness, anger, dishonesty, overconfidence, abuse, bereavement -- the list goes on. This book is no attempt to paint a pretty picture about how to live a real Christian life; it is about the life Christians really live. With heartfelt empathy, Frank H. Leaman offers a penetrating analysis of the feelings and situations that derail Christians from their mission to be imitators of Jesus Christ. He exhorts readers to open up about their pain with honest confession and sharing, to begin the process of forgiveness and healing. Reading this book, you will understand how hard times can summon us to personal and spiritual growth, and you will gain empowerment to see the rainbow of hope beyond your own dark clouds. Get Off The Bench offers tremendous hope for anyone honest enough to receive its message. Ultimately, that hope is unlimited, for its culmination is God's future kingdom and triumph over all darkness, in which there is no sickness, pain, hunger, or thirst. A kingdom in which angels sing, and we dance and sing and play. This is the reward for those willing to leave the bench and get back in the game!
