God designed us for a relationship that is desperately dependent on Jesus. Only when we embrace this relationship will we find a way to fill the void in our hearts.

What difference is there in your life because you say you are a Christian? Have you realized that you cannot successfully live independently from Jesus? Have you discovered His divine enablement that produces personal empowerment? Christ wants to be relevant to every area of your life. Will you let Him? Authors Kirk and Melanie Lewis note that even Christians often fail to recognize God's plan to complete their lives. Our heavenly Father has designed us for a relationship that is desperately dependent on Jesus. Only when we embrace this relationship will we find satisfaction and a way to fill the void in our hearts. "Desperate Dependency" identifies the deceptions we believe and points our searching souls to Christ, the only One who is relevant and sufficient to deal with the intricacies of life's problems and pain. As we submit to His purpose of transforming us into the image of Christ, we will experience His promised fruit, including love, joy, and peace.

Given the choice, most of us wouldn't want to reach a point of desperate dependence on anyone. But when that dependence is on God, it can become a very unique point where we can discover just how interested God is in every area of our lives and –especially the spiritual, emotional and relational areas! In Desperate Dependence, Max Davis gently reveals how our disappointments and failures can be turned around so that we experience God in ways we never imagined. Desperate Dependence will take you to a new place in your relationship with God where every personal challenge can poise you to grow spiritually and emotionally in him.
