The decision to follow Christ is not the end of the road but the launch point for a new kind of journey--a journey into the heart of holiness. Too often Christians have thought that obtaining forgiveness from God for our sins was the whole point. Instead, it is the prerequisite for a whole new way of life--the life that God intended when he first placed Adam and Eve in the garden. Author Steve DeNeff takes you on a journey through the life of Jesus and into the heart of holiness. As you discover what it means to be holy, you can-- 
<li>Experience a genuine change of your heart's desires. </li>
<li>Find in holiness a contentment that sin can't provide. </li>
<li>Discover the freedom to live authentically before God and others. </li>
<li>Rise above disappointment and failure by embracing love over law. </li>
<li>Ignite your passion to bring love and justice to the world.</li> Embrace the life of Christ and let him lead you to the joy of a life of holiness.

Nearly everybody struggles against the same, predictable urges that have plagued human beings since the Garden of Eden. We aspire to rule rather than serve, desire things more than God, resent the successes of others, and run away from the hard things in life. As a result, we suffer unfulfilled lives, lack contentment, and can never seem to get a handle on whats wrong or how to improve our lot. In this powerful book on personal spiritual change, Steve DeNeff unlocks the seven secrets to a transformed life filled with purpose, contentment, and a strong sense of well-being. Keying on the seven most common spiritual problems that we all face--the seven deadly sins--DeNeff points the way toward life transformation by embracing the virtue-filled life of the Spirit. Readers will experience practical life changes as they learn how to cooperate with God--changing what they do as he changes who they are. The book includes a guide for personal or group study.

7 Saving Graces: Living Above the Deadly Sins

We want to be different, but we don't want to change. Our attempts at spiritual formation and growth are consistently sabotaged by our surface efforts that never quite get to the root of the problem. We think we know what we're supposed to do, but we're not quite sure who we're supposed to be on the other side of transformation. In SoulShift, Steve DeNeff and David Drury offer an approach to spiritual transformation that focuses less on measuring how much time we are spending on spiritual inputs--such as Bible study and prayer--and more on measuring who we are becoming in Christ. Christians at any stage of life will experience a fresh beginning in following Jesus. You will learn about seven key transformational shifts that occur in the minds, hearts, and behaviors of every true follower of Christ. And you will receive practical help for bringing about these shifts in your own life. SoulShift will move you from performance-driven religion to life-transforming relationship . . . for the rest of your life. SoulShift: The Measure of a Life Transformed will be followed by a series of companion Bible studies and a church resource kit that will enable pastors to implement SoulShift as a whole-church program. "David Drury and Steve DeNeff love to guide believers to a deeper walk with God. They love to reveal the power and richness of the transformed spirit. And they love to show practical ways to move our souls into alignment with our heavenly Father. Their new book, does all of that, while giving us practical ways to "soulshift" toward a Christlike life." --Max Lucado, pastor and bestselling author

SoulShift: The Measure of a Life Transformed

David Drury

SoulShift coauthor Steve DeNeff reveals to both the young and veteran in faith how soul-growing transformations happen only as God breaks through spiritual hardness. These moments are life's "fault lines", and they are periods of great upheaval--disruptive, always unfair, always troublesome, but not always bad. When life beneath our feet is moving and shaking, it must end in one of only two ways--to make us better or make us worse. God alone can shift souls for the better.
