Book Description

Discover personal transformation that changes the world.

Just as there are physical signs that determine the overall health and wellness of a patient, so too there are signs of life determining the extent to which a man or woman has been transformed into the image of Jesus. It's a smile, a simple lifestyle, compassion in the face of misfortune, willingness to commit random acts of kindness, benevolence, social justice, tears, words.

In Signs of Life bestselling author David Jeremiah leads readers through a forty-day journey to a fuller understanding of what these signs are and how to be a person marked by them. This journey pursues a life characterized by relevancy, surrender, authenticity, generosity, and compassion-and in so doing, transforms individuals, communities, and nations.

Whether new to the Christian faith or considered an old-timer, readers will discover what being transformed personally into the image of Jesus means and be equipped with a greater vision for the life they are freed to live.

Have you ever wondered how to live an effective Christ centered life and truly make a difference to your family, neighbors, coworkers, acquaintances and friends? Have you ever questioned who you should help and how to go about doing so as an individual or group of likeminded individuals? Signs of Life is a street guide to daily living the Christian life based on fulfilling Christ's command where Jesus said "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law of the Prophets." (Matthew 22:37-40) Signs of Life is one of the most practical guides to Christian living I have ever encountered which if followed will undoubtedly change our world for the better! Let's start a worldwide movement to change ourselves and our world!

I saw Dr. Jeremiah preach the introductory message for this book and immediately knew that I wanted it. This book is assembled into 40 daily devotionals in Dr. Jeremiah's "get to the point" style. These 40 lessons support the five "signs of life" of a Christian: Dusty shoes, worn out knees, rolled up sleeves, open hands and outstretched arms. llustrations really add to the discussion of the point he is making.

We have just finished this book as a Sunday School study. Response was just wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Signs of Life: Back to the Basics of Authentic Christianity, January 4, 2008

I purchased this book and began using it as the basis for my morning devotional. This is the first study material I have used that gave me a "passion" for changing my life in a way to please my Lord. Each day's message was a gem of knowledge and insight, and it was very tempting to read forward to the offering for the next day. Today was the end of the material, and I may have to start over again because I don't want to put it down. If you want solid, definitive ideas to spark your thought processes, please purchase this book. You won't regret it!
