Overview

"Are you ready for more? Do you find yourself doing all the things a Christian does, but running on empty, inwardly struggling, unable to get to a place of peace and joy? Are you bound with stress, dips of depression, anxiety, and/or daily worry, and you've convinced yourself this is just ""how it is"" on this side of Heaven? This is not the life that Jesus paid for. Jillian Ahonen, life coach and author of Life is Muddy, shows us how our well-meaning Christian checklist is blocking us from our Spirit-empowered life through Jesus. Prepare to have your church bubble popped, in a good way, as we identify where we have complicated Christianity. Jesus said to follow Him, and He will show us how to live. He promises that life with Him is light and easy. Rich and abundant. Where His Spirit is, there is freedom. When we are living in rhythm with Him, no longer doing church, but becoming the Church, we should feel differently on the inside, and others should see the difference from the outside. It's time to get away with Jesus and recover your life so you can live out what you believe; creating a powerful ripple effect from the inside out. Are you ready to do away with check-list Christianity and live powerfully in everything that Jesus paid for? You are being invited into a powerful rhythm, a lifestyle that is beyond your ways and thoughts."

Ripple Effect is a clarion call to the church to let go of human thinking and human influences and step into a life of intimate, dependent, trusting, interactive relationship with Jesus. Jillian says, It's time to pull away with God, tuning out all the voices until the only One you hear is His. This book opens the door into her own life, telling you how she did it, and how you can, too. This is for anyone who wants an authentic faith walk and is done with playing church. -Brynn Taylor Ashford Author of Welcome to the Fresh-Squeezed Life Cafe and Don't Get Stuck!; As Real As Apples A ripple effect by one person's definition is a spreading, pervasive, and usually unintentional effect or influence. While that may be one definition, what Jillian shares in Ripple Effect, will have very intentional effects as the truth of God's word is applied to your life circumstances and mine. As Jillian Ahonen's pastor, I am confident that you will be challenged and encouraged by Ripple Effect. Her commitment to the transforming power of God's word literally jumps off of every page. As she states in the opening of the book, this is an invitation. I invite you as she has, on a very intentional journey, with amazing outcomes available to you, that will affect your personal life, family life, vocational life, and most of all, your spiritual life. -Gary Jones Senior Pastor, Crossroads Church, Temecula, CA Jillian writes with passion and authority, as someone who has faced many hardships in life but has come through with a stronger faith and a powerful testimony. Her words will inspire you, challenge you and call you back to your first love, Jesus. Her natural teaching style turns the reader back to the Word of God as the foundation for everything we believe. Ripple Effect will help you to examine your life closely to discover cracks that only Jesus can fill. I was drawn in by Jillian's honesty and authenticity, challenged by her boldness to confront the lies of the enemy, and reminded that I don't have to live an average Christian life, bound up by anxiety and frustration. This is a great book for anyone who needs someone to come alongside and show us how to undo habits that are not honoring to God and patterns that are holding us back from the life God wants us to live. -Jaimie Bowman Pastor and author of Breathe: 31 Moments with God {for Moms} Our perception and understanding of life is formulated by the environment that surrounds us, both good and bad. As Christians, this world view should be seen and understood through God's revelation and not from man's limited wisdom. God has given us His paradigm for life through the biblical narrative and the Holy Spirit's revelation. In this latest work, Jillian has challenged us to ask the honest question; Are we in line with God's world view or are we really just living according to man's world view? If we aren't honest with ourselves we may fall into the trap of not seeing things clearly, so we often compromise God's truth to satisfy ourselves. She explores the traps we fall into and the ripple effect that inhibits our full experience of God's amazing grace! Thanks Jillian for helping us connect with the tough questions! -Reverend Kirk D Peterman Red Oak Healing Ministry Ripple Effect is infused with example after example of God's deep and intimate love for us. It is an important and timely reminder of how, as the body of Christ, it is crucial that we not only embrace God's love for ourselves but then release that love into the world around us. As always, Jillian writes with breathtaking honesty and vulnerable transparency. -Jennifer Miller Author of Finding Freedom as Daughter of the King
