"Cure for the Common Life,” is Women of Faith's first recommendation of the year…and trust me, it's a sweet beginning that will help catapult us into our spanking new calendar with verve.

We may not have found the cure for the common cold, but Max directs us to a whole medicine cabinet of cures for the common life. And here's good news…
it tastes really good!

When I was growing up, it was before medicines were jazzed up with tasty flavors. In fact, they were downright nasty to gulp down. So it's a joy to open Max's offering, not only because it is full of yummy insights, but also because its
easy-to-swallow style helps assuage our insecurities while healing our misconception that we are forever stuck in a life of mediocrity.

Max's medicinal pen combined with his shepherding heart make this offering a safe place to hear truth. I appreciate that he speaks strong truth through his own life, making it gentler for us to hear.

Don't miss the story of "Matthew, Max, Luke, and John" (very humbling), or "Chief Wiggles" (very touching), or "the two mountain goats" (very memorable). And for heaven's sake, don't miss the Sweet Spot survey! It will help you define your God-given acre on this planet.

Have you ever wondered like I have, “Does what I do matter?” “Is who I am important to the scheme of the world?” “Do my longings have legitimacy?”
“Can I live my dreams?” “If so, how do I begin?”

Pour yourself a cup of tea, stoke the fireplace embers, settle into a soft chair, then open up the “Cure…” and I promise you that before you're done, you'll feel wellness entering your bones. C'mon girls, Max is going to help us leap into this year with holy vigor! On your mark…get set…leap!!!
