About this book

Most of us feel that life is rushing past us. We reach the end of another day or week or year and wonder where it went. So we double down on trying to do more or do better—or distract ourselves with the many diversions the 21st century has to offer. But often we’re so busy thinking about the next thing that we’re at risk of missing the main thing: the people and places God has put in front of us, right here, right now.

There is a better way to live. In this thought-provoking book, Adam Ramsey helps us to embrace the time and place we are in and to live each day fully and faithfully present with God and with others. Readers will discover fresh joy in the little ...

Endorsements

Adam Ramsey is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. After writing deeply and beautifully about the collision of head and heart in Truth on Fire, he turns his biblically saturated imagination to a topic we are in desperate need of understanding in our technological age: the truth of limits and how embracing them settles our soul into the present, where we can commune deeply with God and others. In fact the only place where we can do that is in the present. If you feel hurried and thin, or if you feel like your mind is never with you in the room… this is the book for you!

Matt Chandler Lead Pastor of Teaching at The Village Church in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, and Executive Chaiman of the Acts29 Board.

Faithfully Present is a refreshing tonic for the soul wearied by our culture’s call to do more, be more and achieve more. Beautifully written and packed with theological riches, it is an invitation to receive the limits of time and place as gracious gifts from an infinitely wise and loving Father. Adam shows how embracing these limits is the pathway to greater peace and deeper joy. His call to slow down and live fully present is desperately needed and delightfully liberating.

Carolyn Lacey Author of Say the Right Thing and Extraordinary Hospitality (for Ordinary People).

Something inside us longs to be God-like. To be fully freed and self-defining is the existence we ‘post-everything’ people are reaching for. But our pursuit is exhausting. What if we admit that God alone is God-like? What if we accept the good limitations of how he created us? That’s what Faithfully Present helps us to see, as Adam Ramsey guides us into those green pastures and beside those still waters.

5.00 stars Real wisdom for living in our hurried and distracted world

 

If you have ever been frustrated by not having enough time for everything, or by time seeming to drag, by nostalgia for the past or anxiety about the future, or if you have ever wished you were somewhere else doing something else, if the grass always seems greener anywhere but where you are, this book is for you! Adam Ramsey reminds us that God is sovereign over the seasons of our life, which means we need to trust him even in the seasons that we wish we could escape. And that we are where God has placed us – ‘Just ...

(Review written for 'Faithfully Present (ebook)')

I have just read this book during a season of immobility following an accident, & it was the most helpful book I could have read. When one is ‘laid aside’ it is easy to feel inadequate & useless, & this book answers all those thoughts. Enjoying God each day that He has given us, whatever the day may bring, is transformative, , & I highly recommend this book to anyone, whatever season we are in.
