Half-Hearted: Escaping Lukewarm Faith and Embracing Wholehearted Devotion

Are you coasting spiritually—or living all out for Christ?

Half-Hearted: Escaping Lukewarm Faith and Embracing Wholehearted Devotion is written for believers who know they love God, but quietly sense they’ve settled. The fire isn’t gone, but it isn’t blazing either. Life is busy, faith is familiar, and somewhere along the way the heart slipped into “good enough.”

This book is a call back to a fully engaged, wholehearted relationship with Jesus.

Across six parts, you’ll explore what half-heartedness looks like, why it’s so dangerous, and how God lovingly calls His people into something deeper and richer:

• The Peril of Half-Heartedness – Recognize the subtle ways spiritual compromise and distraction creep in and rob you of joy, passion, and purpose.

• Answering God’s Call – Hear the invitation to abundant life and confront the fears, doubts, and disappointments that keep you from saying a full “yes” to God.

• Cultivating a Wholehearted Life – Learn how to align your desires with God’s heart, renew your thinking, and practice spiritual disciplines that keep you rooted and focused.

• Inspiring Examples – Be encouraged by biblical and modern-day stories of people who gave God everything and discovered a deeper freedom and impact.

• The Impact of Wholehearted Living – See how a fully surrendered life transforms your relationships, influence, and Kingdom contribution.

• Staying the Course – Discover how to persevere when emotions dip, life gets hard, or the cost of following Jesus feels heavy.

Half-Hearted doesn’t just describe the problem; it gives you practical steps to respond:

• Reflection questions that help you honestly assess where you are.

• Simple, actionable habits to build a lifestyle of devotion.

• Encouragement for seasons of weariness, disappointment, or spiritual drift.

• A vision for legacy and what a wholehearted life can mean for your family, church, and world.

Perfect for:

• Believers who feel stuck, dry, or “lukewarm” in their faith

• Small groups and Bible studies looking for a heartfelt, discussion-friendly resource

• Leaders and pastors who want to stir renewed passion in their people

• Anyone who senses God whispering, “There’s more than this—and I’m calling you into it”

If you’re tired of half-hearted yeses and want to live all in for Christ, this book will help you take the next step—one surrender, one choice, one day at a time.
