Fervent passion for Jesus is often one of the first things to fade as we struggle through the daily grind of life, especially after grappling with disappointments and pain. Yet inherent in Jesus's call to return to our first love is his promise to help us never to lose it--to have a heart sustained in joy, delight, and passion for him all of our days. International House of Prayer leader Dana Candler shares her own wrestle with weariness and unbelief, and reveals that a heart fully alive in Jesus is not only possible but is the promise and invitation of God's infinite grace. First Love will guide you to - discover the root of a loss of fervency and live with a persistent hunger to know Jesus - successfully navigate relational pain and circumstances that have led to offense, cynicism, and bitterness - recognize distractions from the enemy and keep your love for God alive - sustain a tender and burning heart that is unquenched in an hour of increasing darkness Circumstances change, life plays out, and trials come, but love for Jesus is always to remain alive and provide the fire for your daily walk. The Holy Spirit doesn't want to only maintain the passion inside of you, but to increase it!

Keeping Passion for Jesus in a World Growing Cold

First Love

The grace of fasting is a gift from God that positions us to experience more of God's power and affections. We fast to encounter God more and to change the world! Done in the right spirit, fasting increases our receptivity to God's voice and His Word. Jesus called His disciples to fast so as to encounter Him as the Bridegroom God (Mt. 9:15).This book explores the rewards and delights that come to those who fast, and is designed to equip believers to embrace the discipline, grace, and joy of fasting, that they might more fully encounter Jesus as their heavenly Bridegroom.
