J-Curve: Dying & Rising with Jesus in Everyday Life by Paul Miller - Embracing the Normal Christian Life through Union with Christ
"This book will revolutionize the way you look at your suffering." – Joni Eareckson Tada, Founder, Joni and Friends
Do we have the wrong map for the Christian life?
In J-Curve: Dying & Rising with Jesus in Everyday Life, Paul Miller explores how life's trials, disappointments, and inconveniences can leave us disillusioned and even bitter. But the Apostle Paul reveals a different path—the "J-Curve," which maps the ups and downs of our daily lives onto the life of Jesus.
Miller explains that this J-Curve represents the normal Christian life, where dying and rising with Jesus becomes our daily experience. This book offers profound insights into how understanding our lives in light of the J-Curve can root our hope, center our love, and tether our faith more closely to Christ.
