Create a Gospel-Centered Rule of Life
Habits form us more than we form them. The modern world is a machine of invisible habits, forming us into anxious, busy people. We yearn for the freedom of the gospel but remain shackled by our screens and exhausted by our routines.
The answer is a rule of life that aligns our habits to our beliefs. The Common Rule's four daily and four weekly habits transform frazzled days into lives of love for God and neighbor. IJustin Earley provides:
– doable, life-giving practices to find freedom and rest for your soul
– expanded content including study guide questions for individual reflection and group discussion, and
– practical, accessible resources for building habits that bring life.
