Finding Your Way Back to God
The Ferguson brothers are the real deal as movement leaders, and they have led a burgeoning church-planting network on the very principle outlined in this book. As such, it is a proven guide to aligning your community with the redemptive purposes of God.

Even if youve never set foot in a church, youve probably heard someone say something like, Were all searching for God. But that search is not a one-way street. In their new book, my friends Dave and Jon believe that more than anything else, God wants us to find him. You need to read this book and rediscover the God whos been searching for you all along.

Dave and Jon Ferguson are passionate about helping people find their way back to God. If you know someone who is far from God or youve begun to feel that way yourself, this book is for you. Take their thirty-day challenge and awaken to the journey of a lifetime.
L ARRY O SBORNE , author and pastor, North Coast Church
Sometimes we convince ourselves that people are hard to reach. We console our lack of spiritual fruit to a cultural malaise of all things spiritual. Dave and Jon Ferguson have another idea. They have somehow managed the incredible challenge to connect the dots of spiritual awakening in the culture and hearts of everyday people. Like expert craftsmen, they have made what is incredibly hard into real life possibilities and strategies that seem easy! Ive read Finding Your Way Back to God and have already considered buying a box so I can give it to all my friends and neighbors. You should too.

D R. A JAI L ALL , director of Central India Christian Mission
There is a constant gap in our lives between where we are and where we want to be. For years, Ive longed to have a map to help me close that gap. This book is an answer to that longing! Its a spiritual GPS to help you find where you are and to help you get where youre going. It can help you find your way back to God over and over and over again. This book isnt just for people seeking God for the first timeits also for anyone who wants to continue to get closer to God year after year. If you took the classic The Pilgrims Progress, boiled it down into the main principles, and added modern-day stories, you would have this book in your hands. Its that good!
