Choices unlock divine moments. Pastor and author Erwin Raphael McManus invites readers to choose a life of blazing urgency.
Are you willing to risk failure? Are you ready to get in the game? You may stumble, but you will find yourself falling forward, propelled toward the God-inspired adventure He intends you to live. Using the biblical characters of Saul and Jonathan during Israel's war with the Philistines (1 Samuel 13 and 14), Chasing Daylight (formerly titled Seizing Your Divine Moment) demonstrates the difference between living a life of purpose and adventure and living one of apathy and missed opportunity. While Saul rested beneath a pomegranate tree, Jonathan seized the divine moment and redirected the future of Israel. McManus uses Jonathan's example to artfully illustrates the eight characteristics of an adventurer's heart, what he calls "the Jonathan factor" 
<ul>
<li>Taking initiative</li>
<li>Accepting uncertainty</li>
<li>Stewarding influence</li>
<li>Embracing risk</li>
<li>Continuing to advance</li>
<li>Creating impact</li>
<li>Moving in obedience</li>
<li>Awakening potential</li>
</ul>
We have but one life. We are given one opportunity to pursue our dreams and fulfill our divine purpose. Every moment counts, and we must engage them with fierceness and zeal. In Chasing Daylight, Erwin Raphael McManus offers the tools to put an end to passive observation and start seizing the raw, untapped potential of your life with God.

The alarm sounds. Your feet hit the floor and carry you into another day. But what does that day hold for you? Will you be punching your card at work, catching up on TV at home, and crashing into bed before you rinse and repeat the next day? Or will you dare to dig deep and discover the incredible potential lying dormant within us all?
In Wide Awake, renowned speaker and church visionary Erwin Raphael McManus challenges us to put an end to all the sleepwalking and settling, for each of us was created by God for a reason. He has called you to live as Jesus did—a heroic life, void of monotony, teeming with danger, adventure, and the unknown. Living wide awake is about realizing that the world desperately needs you to live up to your potential.
There is a future that needs to be created, and it is waiting for us all to wake up and get out of bed. The alarm has sounded, and it is time to shake off the slumber.
It’s time to live, to create, to imagine, to dream . . . Wide Awake.

Crave: An Exploration of the Human Spirit, by Erwin McManus, contends that all of our soul cravings can be traced to three distinct areas of longing: intimacy, destiny, meaning. In this context, McManus wonders aloud if a healthier, more God-honoring examination of our soul cravings won’t contribute to a life more “alive” and healthy. (7 sessions)
We all have cravings. And while many of those cravings can be satisfied, there are some that go much deeper. These “soul” cravings are much more difficult to satisfy even though we may try with our various forms of medications: from television and sports to alcohol, sex, and drugs.
