The Jesus Adventure – Journey to Spiritual Freedom
This powerful new book was forged in the fires of real life adversity and faith, through true spiritual hunger and inspiration. The book is the culmination of real-life training that God led the author and his family through over a period of decades, while calling the author to study and write. It is a progressive guide for becoming an Apprentice of Jesus and following Him as a true collaborator in Jesus’ epic adventure, experiencing miraculous empowerment and provision in the modern world. The reader discovers the person, the path, the paradox, and the dynamic power of the presence of Christ – to become an overcomer by holding firmly to His promises.
As an Author, Bible teacher, Evangelist, Missions and Ministry Leader, Ian Millar has a miraculous testimony of God’s saving grace and empowerment in following Jesus. After a radical, life-transforming conversion as young adults, Ian and his wife shared their story with everyone they could. Subsequently, leading church small groups and house churches; God led Ian to study how Jesus trained His original disciples. This became a book as God took Ian and his family on amazing faith adventures. Today, he challenges everyone to take the Jesus Adventure as an apprentice of Jesus by faith, through God’s Word & Spirit.
After 25 years of leading small groups in various churches around the US, it became evident to the Author that Jesus had a reason for doing what He did, and for the way He did it. One of the more fascinating parts of The Jesus Adventure project is how the author’s own life was transformed in the process of developing the book. Jesus led Ian and his family to walk through the process interactively, overcoming similar incredible challenges that Jesus led His original followers through, step by step, on many bold and daring adventures of faith. That process could be a separate book, entirely by itself.
The author has taken the liberty of engaging readers with accessible language and using various translations of the Bible in this book – to clarify the message in more accessible terms – while remaining faithful to the original meaning of the Bible. He also took painstaking efforts to study the bible in original languages and carefully consider God’s voice at each step. In the manuscript, Ian quotes more than 500 passages of scripture. He carefully confirmed theological ideas with commentaries and ministry leaders from across the centuries and across various denominational perspectives. Most of all, this book is born of much concerted prayer – by Ian, his wife, and his ministry team.
