Synced Living Connected to the Heart of Jesus
Jennifer Kennedy Dean “The secret to Jesus’ life of power lies in this: His heart was perfectly synced to the Father’s. He had neither action nor interest that was separate from the Father’s. Two so perfectly synchronized that they are one. Their movements correlate precisely. Their thoughts are integrated so that they are in tandem.”

Faith Acts A Provocative Call To Live What You Believe
Dillon Burroughs and Jimmy Turner “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” —James 1:22

aith Acts offers scriptural and personal ministry insights to show that authentic faith is based on how we apply the Bible, not on how much we claim to believe its words. Sharing real-life stories of assisting children living out of hotels, alcoholics dying on the street, and addicts looking for a reason to live, these authors offer a provocative look at how the hope of Christ can change even the worst circumstances—when ordinary Christian believers commit to the principles of God’s Word and “do what it says.”
