7 Days to Change Your Life

When did being “too busy” and “going through the motions” become a way of life? It’s no surprise that the rush between meetings and e-mails, sports practices and church functions is tiring, even exhausting. It’s time to stop running and start following.
Jesus’s call to “Follow Me” was not just an invitation to faith; it was a prescription for living well. Walking through the seven “Follow Me” statements in the Gospel of Matthew, author Josh Moody explores Jesus’s teachings of hope, life, truth, freedom, humility, greatness, and glory in 7 Days to Change Your Life. In each statement and with each teaching, Jesus gets closer to Calvary and closer to the cross, and you get closer to finding a focus for your life—no matter how hectic it may be.
Although following Jesus is not a new concept to believers, following Jesus completely becomes difficult when life moves faster and faster. Organized to be read a chapter a day, Josh meets you in your busy, hectic schedule and reveals a biblical plan to revitalize your life in as little as seven days.

“At the risk of sounding simplistic he tells us that the way to start
again or to experience a revitalization is to change your mind about
what you’ve been doing and rethink where you’re wanting to go. But here’s the point – this change of mind is linked to Jesus and the
revitalized life is called ‘Following Jesus.’” ~ Stuart Briscoe,
Speaker, Author, Broadcaster on “Telling the Truth”

“The biggest need in the church today is for more disciples.  Not hipper preachers, or dazzling worship, or even stunning sanctuaries. The biggest need is for more believers to follow after Jesus and become

church in that pursuit with 7 Days to Change Your Life.  Absorb its contents, meditate on its message and learn more exactly how to leave

“As Christians, we too often separate our activities – such as
sharing the gospel, doing justice and caring for others from our inner
spiritual journey. By focusing on virtues such as hope, humility and truth, Josh Moody bridges this gap. He encourages us to be contemplative
activists, having both deep roots and wide branches.” ~ Alec Hill,
President Emeritus InterVarsity Christian Fellowship

he serves.  In his book, he uses the structure of a 7-day week to provide an insightful and thoughtful understanding of our role as disciples of Christ.  In so doing, he reminds us of the importance of knowing the Jesus we serve, understanding the depth of His love for us,
and experiencing the reality of having a relationship with Him for now and eternity.  When the week is over, the reader will have a new and refreshed understanding of their Lord and Savior.” ~ C. William Pollard,
Chairman, Fairwyn Investment Company

himself as Moody unpacks the call to discipleship.” ~ Thomas R.

Jesus's 7 signs, his 7 'follow me' and 'I Am' statements, the 7 Churches
of Revelation)…refocuses the attention on what is most important.” ~
Allen Yeh, Associate Professor of Intercultural Studies &

“There is a lot of confusion in the evangelical church about what it truly means to follow Jesus. Many Christians talk about the call to discipleship, but in the midst of our busy lives many of us fail to consider what the Bible says about this call. So turn away from
distractions and let Josh Moody help you see anew what John’s Gospel and Revelation teach us about this simple call and lifelong challenge. You will benefit tremendously from this renewed vision of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.” ~ Chris Bruno, author, The Whole Message of the Bible in 16 Words; The Whole Story of the Bible in 16 Verses

beneficial tool.” ~ Curtis Cook, Pastor of Hope Fellowship Church,
