The Secret of Change

Want to bring encounters with God into your coaching conversations--and into your day-to-day relationship with Jesus? Questions for Jesus intro duces you to a powerful method of praying about your connection to Jesus instead of your service for him. It's letting go of talking to Jesus about the business of being a Christian ("what should I do for God?") and replacing it with a lovers' conversation about us ("Who are you, Jesus, and what do you love in me?") Questions for Jesus will embark you on a journey of learning how to pray from the deepest desires of your heart--and hear the deepest desires of Jesus' heart in return.

In the model of the heart developed by MetaFormation (where the deepest levels of the heart are Identity and Desire), our most powerful behaviors and strongest giants are powered by unmet desires within us--desires for things like love, belonging, justice or significance. These are good desires placed in us by God and designed to draw us to him, that are designed to be filled within relationship to Jesus. The key to lasting change is not disciplining or denying these deep desires, but letting Jesus fill them with himself. Questions for Jesus shows you how to do just that.

Written in a devotional format, Questions for Jesus examines every place in the book of Matthew where Jesus spoke to the deepest desires of those he met along the road. Each of the 52 meditations connects you with the desire in the passage, then offers five powerful, heart-level questions that will help you connect to Jesus' heart in that situation and receive what your heart most longs to hear.

Written by a master coach (and author of the best-selling book Coaching Questions), this book will help make your prayer life into a two way conversation about what you care most about.
