Pastor, speaker and author Terry Crist guides readers toward the safety and healing that is found within the sanctuary of God’s boundless love in his new book, Now You Can Stop Running: Finding the Rest Your Soul Desperately Needs. Spiritual brokenness and human nature prompt us to run at signs of trouble. Our instinct is to escape the fear, disappointment, unresolved trauma and unhealed wounds of the past, thinking we will find peace. But Crist questions if there is more to this endless cycle of running.
"What if we're not just running away but also running toward? What if, beneath the surface, our pursuit isn't for something but for someone--one who invites us to rest from our striving and to find refuge in him? If such a person exists, then our running is transformed. It's no longer an exercise in futility but a journey toward the peace, safety, and wholeness our souls were made to experience." In Now You Can Stop Running, Crist reveals a better approach to find the deep rest we seek, and that God has promised.TOPICS:BACKGROUND CHILDHOOD OWNING FAITH GOD SHAPING IN YOU NOW WHAT ABOUY GOD MOST IMPRESSES YOU?BOOK:NOW YOU CAN STOP RUNNING WHY YOU - WHY NOW?
