An eye opening book

I purchased this book sometime last summer. I was so excited when it came in the mail. I began reading it and then got very side tracked. Being a mother of four, homeschooling, a wife and homemaking; it gets to be a little overwhelming. But Thank God that He never gives up and is always there to softly guide us back to where He desires for us to be.
   Gary Thomas has a unique way of revealing the truth with practical application thats biblical!!! He does not cover up or dress it up. He is a bold author, who writes under the unction of the Holy Spirit.  The Beautiful Fight, is an amazing eye opening read that challenges you to hear and see the the Father through a more proper lens so that you can more effectively walk out the Christ-life. It has not ceased to speak directly to my heart. Oh, to know the Father in such a way and to continually draw closer to HIM is my hearts desire.

"The Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught. The Sovereign LORD has opened my ears, I have not drawn back." 

Isaiah 50:4-5

"The more I live this way, the more my heart sings with Paul when he calls 

Christianity a beautiful fight, " the only race worth running"(2 Timothy 4:7 MSG) -excerpt  from The Beautiful Fight by Gary Thomas, p.129.
