Made New - Joseph, Dave C.

. .

Résumé :
Made New is a fresh way to help new believers understand their purpose, position, and a new passion in Jesus through moments that challenge the heart, head, and hands. This devotional has 31 moments filled with opportunities to learn about God and dig into the Bible. Each moment can be done in 15 minutes or spread out over a couple of days. Each devotional includes a name of God to help with prayer, a one sentence prayer tied to the scriptures for the moment and guided opportunities to engage God deeply.This is a devotional with space for writing prayers, thoughts, action items, and a 12 point font for easy reading. Made New helps believers live out their new freedom and faith by encouraging them to move at their own pace by regularly engaging, building community with others-centered in Christ, and drawing close to God in every moment. Made New parallels the disciple makers books. Both Made New series are 12 books long and grow both believers as they trust God and sharpen each other moment by moment.

Biographie:
Dave is currently serving as the Care and Counseling Pastor at Grace Community Church in Fulton, Maryland. His greatest passion in life is his relationship with God through Christ Jesus. Followed closely by his love for his wife, Talisa, and son, David. These two fires spurred Dr. Joseph to write both Pictures of Proverbs published in 2016, and in 2020 the Made New twelve book devotionals series for new believers and disciple-makers.Pictures of Proverbs were written to give every parent the ability to disciple their child in the way of God, the way of wisdom. Made New was written to journey with new believers through the Bible, with Christ, and with others. Each book includes 30 moments to encourage followers of Jesus to know who they are in Him. Made New for disciple-makers journeys with courageous believers as they share life with new believers.Dave's zeal for Christ began at a young age because of his mother's fervor for Jesus. Since deciding to yield his life to Jesus, Dave has learned that applying God's Words in his life is a large part of obedience, the task God has placed before him.
