Publisher's Description
We've made following Jesus far too complex. We don't know what to do with all the things in the Bible that seem necessary, so we make them into a to-do list: love others, forgive those who hurt you, have joy, be patient, stay faithful, give to the hurting, serve in your church, pray without ceasing, confess your sins, and on and on. These are all great things, but is a checklist really what Jesus intended when he said, "Follow me"?More than two thousand years ago, the prophet Micah implored Israel to return to its true calling: "Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God." Could this plainspoken Bible verse not only sum up how we should live today but breathe a fresh purpose into our souls? In this practical and freeing book, pastor Rusty George shares the simplicity of what God desires from us. Living a faithful life should not be a chore, and George teaches how to put away our checklists and walk humbly according to God's will for our lives.
Endorsements (4)
“In unpacking this gem of a verse—Micah 6:8—Rusty manages to be wise, insightful, and even laugh-out-loud funny. What a powerful resource for those who want to bring focus to their faith.”
“It’s hard to think of three qualities that are more needed—by the church or in our country or in the world—than these three. May Rusty’s book not only get widely read, may it get deeply realized.”
“This is a quiet book, which is, of course, always the most dangerous. There is breathing room and freedom in its pages, much like in Micah 6:8, the verse the book is based on. The simplicity of justice, mercy, and humility follows verses that heap more work upon us to please God. . . . Thousands of rams, ten thousand rivers of oil, my firstborn child . . . what will please God? The response is the whisper of these three words, and Rusty invites us to linger and rest in them. Your soul probably needs this book . . . mine did.”
“One of the best parts of reading this book is knowing Rusty personally and watching him live this message out. Justice. Mercy. Humility. is a quick and necessary message that I need to hear over and over. If you aim to become more like Jesus, this book is worth the read.”
