Truly Not Of This World Living

May 2, 2012 - PRLog -- You see the NOTW stickers everywhere.  The company c28 had done a brilliant job bringing Christianity into popular youth culture.  The number of sticker and products announcing NOTW may now exceed one million.

They are a declaration of identity, but how many of us can really live our lives IN this world, but truly and honestly not OF it.  It takes a tremendous amount of faith to face all the day-to-day realities of an ordinary life untainted by the often hard realities of the world.

Even the Christian world.  In church, we still face gossips, jealousies, relationship break ups, disappointments, and even temptations.  Out in the “regular world,” we face much more.

How do you actually live “above it all” while being in the middle of it all?

Pastor Scot Conway, Ph.D. of Agathos Ministries has been training people for decades to do just that.  He teaches us with his book Be In The World But Not Of It: Instantly Master this Simple System to Live Your Life Free of This World.

Packed with practical techniques and guidance on how to pray our way through them, Conway teaches us exactly what to do.  With his innovative Embrace, Elevate, Expand technique, we can quickly capture anything bad, flip it to something good, find a way to advance our spirituality, and live a triumphant life!

It’s incredible.

Once you learn the fundamentals, it’s so simple that it is astonishing that it is not common knowledge (yet!).

Conway provides us with a whole toolbox of techniques we can use (some of which are commonly taught in churches), and he adds the cautionary warnings about how it can cause problems.  Yes, it does do what it’s supposed to do, but some of them can do damage, too.  That’s why Conway lands on Embrace, Elevate, Expand as the core technique to remain Free of “the World” (he talks about what “the world” means in this context – even though most of us probably already know).

Packed with extra insights, Conway helps us learn to control our imagination (if we worry, we’re visualizing possible bad futures – when we should take our thoughts captive and “think on these things”).  He teaches us about the Spirit, Soul and Body, and shares a model tested through Scripture and decades of coaching, counseling and mentoring.

It is a helpful guide for leaders and clergy who need to remain “above it all” to be an effective Christian leader.  It leads to a life of victory, and it’s all packed in this one book.
