The world says, “Follow your heart.” Some Christians say, “Lay down all your dreams and passions.” But what does the Bible say?
“Chase your dreams and follow your heart, no matter the cost” is the call of the world today. The opposite extreme, often advised by well-meaning Christians, is to lay down all of our dreams and passions, avoiding all self-interest.
One narrative says to follow a passion, and the other says to lay it down. Both claim to offer happiness and purpose on the other side. But what does the Bible say about dreams, goals, and passions?
With compelling illustrations from Dianne Jago’s unexpected journey in creating Deeply Rooted Magazine, along with thoughtful scriptural examples, Dianne shares an honest account of how God changed her plans and aligned them with His.
As you read this book, you will be challenged to look upward instead of inward, seeing the God-given purpose of every Christian as the foundation of your “dreams.” Scripture shapes a believer’s pursuits and the gospel speaks to our passions. Instead of the one-size-fits-all formula for dream-chasing, “A Holy Pursuit” will help you identify whether it’s time to pursue, pause, or surrender a dream you hold.
“. . . This book is chock full of sound theology and practical conversation about who God is and who He’s created us to be. Though it’s deep, reading her words is like sitting down to coffee with a trusted friend and mentor and hearing truth spoken into your life. Her words are relatable and pertinent. Highly recommend this book for teens to adults.”
“I read this book in 4 days—I couldn’t put it down—but also so much depth. I need to read it again because there are A LOT of things to put into practice. I’d recommend this book to anyone starting on their dream, contemplating a dream or afraid they might make the wrong choice. My favorite is how this because constantly brings you back to the word of God . . .”
