Publisher's Description
Living the Christian life is not easy, especially in today's culture. To be who and do what God commands, Christians need to recapture the miraculous. Unfortunately, miracles have been left either with cable TV faith healers or tour guides in the Holy Land. That has to change, because it's by seeing what God does that we discover who he is. And knowing who he is and what he does will change who we are and what we do. Pastor Gregg Matte believes that the seven "I AM" statements and the seven miracles recorded in the Gospel of John can give believers a framework for living God's will. In I AM Changes Who i Am, readers will explore what Jesus says and does and find out what that means for their walk with him.
