All Christians long to live life at its best: to fuse freedom and spontaneity with purpose and meaning. Why then do they often find their lives so humdrum, so unadventuresome, so routine? Or else so frantic, so full of activity, but still devoid of fulfillment? How do Christians learn to risk, to trust, to pursue wholeness and excellence:...

Only God has the perfect perspective on every event, every circumstance. Our perspective will always be limited by the very fact that we are finite. But we can make...
