Do you have a feeling that you can’t shake–that life could deliver much more than you’re experiencing right now?
The lack of peace might keep you up at night, or it could be a steady background hum that is not quieted by bigger accomplishments or more possessions. What you crave goes much deeper. You long for an end to the inner turmoil; you crave freedom from anxiety, guilt, anger, or fear.
People have sought the answer in career advancement, recreation, relationships, even religious devotion. But God’s Word demonstrates that dissatisfaction with life is a spiritual problem. It’s an inner thirst that can be quenched only by God.
Does contentment have to remain just out of reach, or can we arrive at a place of peace and rest? Let popular author and Bible teacher Michael Youssef introduce you to biblical characters whose lives demonstrate the redemptive power of Divine Discontent. These heroes of Scripture followed their inner restlessness back to God who, in his grace, invites all to enter his rest. Including you. Michael Youssef, Ph.D., is founding rector of The Church of The Apostles, an evangelical Anglican congregation in Atlanta. Founded in 1987, the church has grown from forty members to more than two thousand. Dr. Youssef is also president of an international broadcast ministry, “Leading the Way with Dr. Michael Youssef.” His daily radio program and his weekly television program are carried on hundreds of stations throughout North America and around the world.
Born in Egypt, Dr. Youssef movedto Australia at age twenty to prepare for Christian ministry, earning a theology degree from Moore Theological College. He served in pastoral ministry in the Anglican church in Australia for several years before moving to the United States, where he completed a master’s degree in theology from Fuller Theological Seminary and a doctorate in social anthropology from Emory University. Michael and his wife, Elizabeth, are the parents of four grown children.
