In Passionate Christianity, Susan Ellis stands with the great revivalist John Wesley, in reminding us that true renewal is only found in returning to that which is old, in passionately pursuing the timeless rather than being distracted by the temporal, in setting aside the fashionable and humbly submitting to the eternal Word of God." - Everett Piper, PhD. President, Oklahoma Wesleyan UniversityWhile spiritual complacency leading to apathy may not be unique to modern Christianity, it is viewed in Scripture as a serious problem that must be addressed in every generation. Matthew spoke of this spiritual lethargy in his gospel account. Paul warned about a great falling away in his second letter to the Thessalonians. Jesus cautioned believers against the dangers of indifference in His letters to the seven churches. Even a cursory look at the history of Israel reveals the cycle of returning and living for God, only to fall away again. This lesson series addresses this important issue in a way that helps believers reclaim their 'first love' for Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. The study is practical, uplifting, and rooted in Scripture. ABOUT THE AUTHORFollowing a dramatic conversion in 1999, Susan had a deep hunger for Scripture and more of Jesus.
