ROOTED By Banning Liebscher



You were born to make an impact in this world and you know it. You feel it deep down in your bones. Apathy is your nemesis and your hunger to change the world keeps you up at night. But no matter how deep this hunger growls, we can only make a meaningful impact if we are rooted in Jesus. And here’s the thing:  God is not interested in developing your vision first.
He is interested in developing you.
 
In Rooted, Banning Liebscher takes us to the life of David to show how God expands our root system in the hidden places before leading us to where we all desire to go, the visible world. It was in a field of prayerful devotion, a season of serving, and a cave of community that God prepared David for his crown, the same way God prepares us. Take a look at your own life. Are you embracing God’s process, the sometimes painstaking and maddening process? When we can release ourselves to God we will find that we can thrive while He develops us, rather than succumb to discouragement.
 
Whatever your age or season of life, it takes immense courage to slow down enough to let God grow a root system in your life so that you can bear fruit that remains. You are where you are because God has planted you there. Discover what it looks like to embrace His process so you can do what He has called you to, change the world.

Banning Liebscher was on staff at Bethel Church in Redding, California for eighteen years and founded the ministry Jesus Culture during that time. Banning and his family, along with the Jesus Culture team, relocated to the capital of California where they started a church, Jesus Culture Sacramento. Their vision is to see people encounter God, be empowered in community, and engage their city for revival and transformation. He and his wife, SeaJay, have three children.

This book is all marked up, highlighted, underlined and notes in the margins.  I found so much truth on every page.
I have read this book twice now and I can't even put into words what it has meant to me.
This is a book that encourages us to embrace our true calling, seek our calling in Christ. Produce lasting fruit, how God has made us who he wants us to be.
This is a challenging book for some but for others its an eye opening book. It's a life changing book.
Please if you only read one book this month let it be Rooted. Don't miss this masterpiece, you be sorry if you do.
It's time to get Rooted in your Christian life.
I gave this book 5 stars two times. I HIGHLY recommend this book. I plan to keep a copy on my book shelf to reread many times.
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for my honest review.

  1. This sounds like a book I may want to buy and not just read from the library. I should tell them about it so others can read it.
