Here's a thoughtful, probing exploration of why Christians get stuck in the place of complacency, dryness, and tedium -- and how to move on to new levels of spiritual passion! Buchanan shows how the majority of Christians begin their spiritual journey with excitement and enthusiasm -- only to get bogged down in a "e;borderland"e; -- an in-between space beyond the "e;old life"e; but short of the abundant, adventurous existence promised by Jesus. Citing Jonah, he examines the problem of "e;borderland living"e; -- where doubt, disappointment, guilt, and wonderlessness keep people in a quagmire of mediocrity -- then offers solutions . effective ways to get unstuck and move into a bold, unpredictable, exhilarating walk with Christ.
