{"product_id":"the-one-true-thing-what-is-worthy-of-your-lifelong-devotion","title":"The One True Thing: What Is Worthy of Your Lifelong Devotion?","description":"What is the one thing you most deeply desire?\nHoward Baker says we all long for a single devotion. Yet most often, our lives are fragmented, torn between competing desires, demands, and responsibilities. As a way to answer our deep need, we throw ourselves into work or activities or addictions. But devotion to a job, to a possession, or even to a person is not worthy of the human heart, says Baker. He leads us toward an earnest pursuit of “the one true thing” that simplifies and brings all the scattered pieces of our lives into focus.\n\nIn The One True Thing, Howard Baker says that every human yearning at its core is a desire for God, and God is calling out to us through our daily scrambles to control life. The pursuit of God is the one true thing that simplifies and integrates all other things. In this small book that addresses the largest of themes, the author uses great writers of the past and biblical stories to guide us through three stages of pursuing God: seeking, choosing, and ultimately valuing Him above all else.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1576836959\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1576836959.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Baker, Howard\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
