Description
We drown ourselves with monotony, possessions, and obligations. However, from Abraham to Jesus, the essence of faith is found in the idea that we are moving, changing, progressing as a people, and if we are faithful to this process, then we will be moving the world toward the Kingdom of God-living a dynamic faith.
Holy Nomad is a deeply motivational call for readers to live a radical, relentless, and raw life of faith. Author Matt Litton explains how and why God wants to liberate so we can live a life of absolute freedom and fulfillment.
Holy Nomad calls for readers to divest themselves from all the things that hold us back in order to go on this nomadic adventure, that will challenge us and reward us on this rugged road to joy.
