My One Word: Change Your Life with Just One Word - Paperback

by Mike Ashcraft (Author), Rachel Olsen (Author)

Most of us feel overwhelmed at the idea of embarking on a grand plan for spiritual formation. As much as we'd like to, it just hasn't happened yet. Enter My One Word--an easy and surprisingly powerful practice that will allow God to form your character at a deep, sustainable level with just one word.

The concept of My One Word is simple: swap the long list of resolutions for a single word that represents what you most hope God will do in you, and let it become the lens through which you examine your heart and life for an entire year. As you focus on your word, you position yourself for God to form your character at a deep, sustainable level.

Join author Mike Ashcraft, who has led his congregation through the My One Word practice for more than five years, and Proverbs 31 Ministries author and speaker Rachel Olsen, who has lived the practice, as they share their insightful and good-humored approach to personal improvement.

The stories of growth and change throughout My One Word will:

• Give you encouragement to discern one word to focus on
• Deepen your relationship with God
• Help you make changes that last

Are you ready to embrace the life-changing power of My One Word? Let Mike and Rachel be your guides along the way.
