Some words belong together. But what about these? ""Christian."" ""Non-fiction."" ""Time travel!"" Is that surprising? Christians should engage in mental time travel each day. Their minds should travel back to the cross of Jesus which should, impact their choices today. Then, their minds should travel forward to the return of Jesus and have increased hope!
That is biblical meditation, thinking about God's truths and then living a hope-filled life. But what happens when we do it wrong--time-traveling in fearful, worried ways to the terrible future we can imagine? Or what if readers fail to time-travel to the future to be alert? They may even live an undisciplined life today because they do not meditate on their tomorrows enough!
This book is more than just a book--it's a biblical time-travel guide. It connects readers' daily experiences with how God wants them to think about their past and future. Readers will be surprised how many of their struggles are linked to their time travel skills. What a victorious life awaits as readers learn to enjoy transformative time travel!
Industry Reviews
“Jay Lowder’s Transformative Time Travel taps into the biblical movement of time—objectively conceived and existentially contemplated—as an impetus to joyful, interactive, worshipful, and confident Christian living. As the biblical narrative consistently asks us to ‘remember,’ and even pictures God as ‘remembering’ his covenant, so we arrange in mind and spirit the realities of past, present, and future to achieve an ever-maturing, God-glorifying, neighbor-loving, family-embracing, church-appreciating life here with the pleasant anticipation of life hereafter.”
—Tom J. Nettles, senior professor of historical theology, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
“What a wonderful gift for deeper worship, meditation, and discipleship Jay Lowder has delivered by guiding us through our human lenses of future, past, and present toward the God who is outside time. Each thoughtful chapter meets us where we live yet beckons us to that wonderful day, ‘when time shall be no more,’ and to the wonderful God who is already there.”
—Nate Adams, executive director, Illinois Baptist State Association
“Transformative Time Travel is a delightful and thoughtful read guaranteed to edify and challenge the reader. Lowder brilliantly engages the soul interested in that which matters most—how one can take seriously their short time in this world. Highly recommended!”
—Ted Cabal, professor of philosophy of religion, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
