All Christians want to live in the presence of God’s love. But what happens when you experience a spiritual drought? Almost every Christian will undergo seasons when church feels perfunctory, prayers seem to go no further than the ceiling, irksome behavior and conflict causes disenchantment with the church, ministries no longer inspire, serving in the church becomes a burden, and contentment with the Christian lifestyle is elusive.
All is not lost. Thoughts Escape Me uses stories, wry humor, and the Bible to reveal common pitfalls ensnaring many Christians in their spiritual life and provides helpful information to avoid some of the hazards in the modern church.  Grady Walton’s topics take you deeper in the faith and encourage you to identify your real talents and purpose in the church. Walton dares to explore Christian lives, doctrines, and church practices from his candid perspective in the pew. He examines issues like the Christian benchmark for contentment, the undetected depth and danger of pride, the allure of Christian enclaves, the frustration felt when our talents don’t fit the church’s perceived needs, recalibrating prayer to draw closer to God, money’s growing attraction of evil into the church, surviving infidelity among church leaders, and living on the edges of Christianity, to name a few.
Thoughts Escape Me will guide you to an appreciation of deeper Christian living and pave the way to energized service in the church or local community.
