Know Be Do is the "WWJD" of this generation. In the tradition of "What Would Jesus Do?" Know Be Do is more than a book. It's a movement. It transforms the Christian walk from an uphill battle into a guided tour with God. Most Christians lead a life of frustration, futility, and failure. They feel they never live up to God's standards and live out His commands. They define Christianity by what they do and don't do. They're living the Christian life upside down, and they don't even realize it. Know Be Do turns the Christian life right side up. With powerful stories and winsome wit that make it an engaging read, Know Be Do shows you how to intimately, biblically know God, how to accept and employ your position in Christ (be), and how to act on His authority and appropriate His power (do). It connects the dots of the Christian life in a way that makes sense out of a maze of disconnected Christian concepts and equips you for a lifelong and ever-fascinating journey of walking the Christian life right side up.
