A Passionate Commitment: Recapturing Your Sense of Purpose

, 1996

Overview

We regularly attend church, know the hymns by heart, and teach our children about Jesus. We are doing the right things. So why do we feel so empty? Although Jesus promised His followers an abundant life, many Christians struggle with a lack of purpose, fulfillment, and zeal. Underneath all of their Christian activity, they feel cold and, at times, confused about the place and prominence of Jesus Christ in their inner lives. The problem, according to Crawford Loritts, is that we’ve lost our sense of purpose. While we may have a general sense of direction, we have assumed that somehow we can work out the details or that everything will just fall into place. While we outwardly conform to what we say we believe, we privately confess that we know God wants and deserves more from us. A Passionate Commitment will help you understand God’s purpose for your life by challenging the things the world teaches you to hold dear. Crawford Loritts will help you revive your passionate commitment to the God of the universe.

Praise for A Passionate Commitment

One of the most effective communicators I know, Crawford Loritts certainly exemplifies the kind of passionate commitment to God’s purposes that he calls for in this book.
-Josh McDowell, Josh McDowell Ministry

Crawford Loritts has given us a guidebook for effective Christian living that is solidly based in Scripture and graphically illustrated from life. A Passionate Commitment is a vibrant introduction to life as it was meant to be.
-Robertson McQuilkin, Chancellor, Columbia Bible College & Seminary

It is precisely because Crawford himself possesses a passionate commitment to Christ that he can write so effectively about this needed subject. You will find this book stimulating, challenging and inspirational. Read it at the risk of starting up your own passionate commitment to Christ.
-Anthony T. Evans, Senior Pastor, Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, President, The Urban Alternative

One of the most important and timely books written for Christians in our generation. Crawford’s passion for service becomes contagious as he interweaves biblical principles for commitment and purposeful living around many of the important issues we face today. I highly recommend this book to any Christian serious about a dynamic walk of faith.
-John Perkins, Founder and President, Foundation for Reconciliation & Development

A Passionate Commitment is no fluffy, tickle-your-ear treatise on Christian living. These pages on purposeful living will challenge you, reverse your attitude and demand a response. Crawford is one of the few men who could write these words and authentically back them up.
-Dennis Rainey, Executive Director, FamilyLife
