The Four First Things: Foundations for a Deeper Life with God - Paperback

by Joseph S. Reel (Author)

The path to deep faith isn't complicated: it's clear, powerful, and already within reach.

In this world of endless noise, shifting values, and spiritual confusion, The Four First Things calls us back to the beginning-- to the foundational truths that can shape our lives, heal our hearts, and lead us into a profound relationship with God.

This book:

Shows why, without God, even our highest ideals fall apart Describes God's invitation to create freely with him Explains how suffering and evil fit within a God-given world Gives practical tools for developing unwavering trust in God's Will Reminds us that no detail is too small for God's love and help

Written for young adults exploring their faith, spiritual seekers, lapsed believers, and the already devoted who need fresh inspiration, this powerful book is a short read with a lasting impact. Above all, it aims to awaken a burning desire to love God with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength-- and to love others not just as ourselves, but as God loves us.
