In recent years we have seen "7 Habits" books that share the wisdom and strategies used by famous CEO's, wealthy moguls, and luminaries from various walks of life. It only makes sense to reach back to the greatest teacher of all time: Jesus Christ.

With more than 2 billion Christians in the world, this book serves as major step in helping people everywhere lead more meaningful and productive lives.

It's true Jesus shared 7 Habits with his disciples. They are simple, easy to understand principles that can be used by anyone. They will enrich your life, bring you greater understanding and peace, and help you become a more satisfied and effective Christian.

The book starts with an inspiring discussion of what it means to be a disciple. Readers learn the origin and history of Christ's 7 Habits. You learn the purpose for the habits and how they can be incorporated into your lifestyle to make you a better disciple.

These habits are simple yet profound. They are the word of God presented in a form you can take with you each day for guidance and comfort. By focusing on these 7 bits of truth, you get a kind of step by step strategy for Christian living and discipleship. In contrast to the 10 Commandments, the 7 Habits are the simple ways any Christian can become a more faithful, genuine, and effective disciple.

For those who appreciate plentiful detail for thoroughly understanding ideas, this book offers just that. Each habit is discussed from a number of angles in numerous chapters. Rather than simply stated principles with a few examples, the authors effectively give the reader a full understanding and mastery of each habit.

These habits are fundamental in nature. They consist of Christ's own teachings on Listening, Remembering, Praying, and Preparing among others. These are timeless ideas that are just as applicable in modern life as they were for the ancients 2,000 years ago.

In a time when many congregations are in quiet crises, The Seven Habits of Jesus teaches us how to be true disciples in church and in our daily lives. It gives us the inspiration, information, and strategies to establish a stronger faith in Jesus.

It's no wonder congregations that are growing and thriving are often those who practice the art of being disciples. This book takes you on that journey, showing you in fascinating detail how Christ might direct you to become a good disciple. It serves a handbook for individuals and congregations who would choose the disciple method, arguably among the best for the modern soul.

It's important to remember good Christians aren't born. They are formed. It doesn't matter where you are in life, your experiences, or your age. Right now is always a perfect time to begin or re-establish your faith in a truer more satisfying way.
