Live Second365 Ways to Put Jesus First By Doug Bender

Pin It

I’ve been following I Am Second for a long time now.

They had a billboard in Orlando for a little while that had a picture of the lead singer from the band Korn and all it said was I AM SECOND, so I went home and looked it up on the internet.. from that moment I was hooked.

If you haven’t heard of I Am Second, I HIGHLY suggest you check it out.

Athletes, actors, singers, and just regular folks.. who sit down in front of a camera and talk about how they came to place where they realized they weren’t Number 1, how they desired to start living a life as Second.

Now along with the videos, Doug Bender has put together a daily reader, Live second, that has 365 ways that can help you also get to that place in your life where you want to be Second.

I started this book at the beginning of the book and have really enjoyed each day. The encouragement, the inspiration, and the call to action.

 

From the publisher:

Athletes and actors, models and musicians, pastors and politicians … many have stepped forward, looked in the camera, and proclaimed, “I am second.” But most in the I Am Second movement are not celebrities. They are ordinary people—and they’ve come to the simple realization that when God comes first in their lives, everything makes sense.

But living second is not easy. It takes grit and humility, submission to God’s will, a willingness to listen and serve, an openness to God’s healing and call.

Live Second is a daily guide to help you. With 365 readings, prayers, actions steps, and an invitation to join other Christ-followers online, what you hold in your hands is a tool built with truth, scripture, and a sure path to put Jesus first every day.

The Christian life is not meant to be easy, just worth it. Live Second is exactly what you need as you become the new, inspired, God-honoring creation he made you to be.
