In our culture today, Christians all around America are finding it hard to battle the spiritual warfare that is all around us. We find ourselves busy, tired, frustrated, and to the point of burning out. Our tendency as humans is to fight our battles with our own strength. Like King Saul, we don't wait on the Lord. We rush into battle before God arrives, because we believe our gifts and talents are enough. This has become a common reaction in life until we are confronted with a storm so great that it reminds us of our need and dependence on Christ to intervene on our behalf. The purpose of Abide: Forty Days to Abounding Freedom in Christ is to remind us that we are to remain in Christ at all times. Jesus clearly told us in John 15 that He is the vine and we are the branches. The branches by themselves will not produce fruit. Only when we are connected to the vine will we be able to endure life's most difficult challenges. Even when we engage in the most mundane things in life, it is important that we learn abide and lean on Christ. Like Mary, who sat at the feet of Jesus, we must remain in Him so that His Spirit will exude from us and produce the good fruit. Abide is a forty-day devotional that teaches what it means to remain in Christ by highlighting eight different areas of practice. These areas include abiding in Christ, the Word, prayer, fire, suffering, hope, rest, and love.

This book "The 40-Day Challenge" was developed by LaWanda Nall over years of work on foreign mission fields and in churches across America. As Ms. Nall began working on lessons to help young Christian become rooted in their faith, she never dreamed that her faith would be challenged to the limit. Ms. Nall was accused of a crime that she did not commit and spent time in federal prison, where she took these lessons she had designed and taught inmates about how to have a successful relationship with God.Ms. Nall called this group of lessons she shared with the inmates the "40-day challenge!" There were 40 lessons and each one built on the previous one. She challenged the inmates and correctional officers to give God 40 days to either prove himself or they could walk away. She promised them that if they gave God a chance, they would be shocked at what he would do for them. If God did not show up for them, she would never ask them again to have faith in God.Regardless of whether you are incarcerated or free, you need to read this book!

There are two fundamentally different approaches to living life in relation to God. The first approach is to jump up and down, trying to impress Him. The second is to relate to Him on the basis of grace. Though the first approach makes sense at first glance (since it is the way we get noticed), it comes with a whole load of baggage: guilt, shame, fear, pride. The way of grace is more subtle but is the way God actually has chosen to work. Grace is like breathing clean air. When you are surrounded by grace you flourish. Graceless living is like breathing carbon monoxide. You may not even realize it is killing you spiritually until it is too late. These reflections are easy to read, and often entertaining. But they are full of wisdom ' and will show you how to live in the grace of Christ, day by day.
