While many give their lives to Jesus, few then go on to live a life of truly vibrant faith. In this disruptively inspiring book, Chandler offers tangible ways to develop a faith of pursuing, chasing, knowing, and loving Jesus. Because if we clean up our lives but don't get Jesus, we've lost  So let the goal be Him. To live is Christ, to die is gain--this is the message of the letter. Therefore, our lives should be lived to Him, through Him, for Him, with Him, about Him--\u003ci\u003eeverything\u003c\/i\u003e should be about Jesus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatt Chandler\u003c\/b\u003e pastors The Village Church, a multi-campus church attended by more than 10,000 people.
