Sinopsis

It would be very strange to see a butterfly living its life like a caterpillar, never trusting its wings to carry it and never embracing its new identity. It would be a denial of all that defines its existence. It occurred to me some time ago that I had spent a significant part of my life making statements about faith, but not actually living my life as if they were true. That&rsquo,s why I gave this book the title &lsquo,As If&rsquo, &ndash, because I wondered how different my life would look if I lived as if everything I claimed to believe about God, was actually true. Was I a butterfly who was living like a caterpillar? So I decided to wipe the slate clean and rewrote my faith statement. I decided that no Christian cliché or well-used Christian catch phrase would pass my lips unless I really believed it and was ready to live as if it was true and stake my life on it. The biggest &lsquo,As If&rsquo, of all has been that I have decided to live as if I am the focus of the greatest love in the universe &ndash, that I am the object of God&rsquo,s unsearchable and extravagant love. I have found that the greatest battle I wage is against myself as I try to be true to the life of Christ that lives in me. So that&rsquo,s what I&rsquo,ve decided to do, to look Jesus in the eye and live my life as if His love for me is enough to carry me through everything. It&rsquo,s simple really. So simple that anyone can do it, and I don&rsquo,t know how I could have missed it for so long.
