Overcome your struggles. Fulfill your deepest longings. Your whole life awaits you. Many people today experience unprecedented levels of struggles--anxiety, unhealthy relationships, porn use, unresolved hurt, and shame. Medical and mental health professionals confirm that much of the dysfunction and disconnectedness we experience in life stems from unaddressed or unresolved relational and emotional hurts. These hurts leave us with unfulfilled God-given longings that we seek to fulfill through unhealthy behaviors. Yet, our struggles aren' t random; they' re signals that when answered, can pave our way towards a thriving life. Free to Thrive provides a guide for that journey, as Josh McDowell and Ben Bennett blend hard-won wisdom and youthful passion to present biblical, time-tested, and research-supported principles for overcoming hurts, struggles, and hindrances to a whole life--a life of spiritual, emotional, and relational wholeness instead of brokenness--the kind of life every reader was born to live.

' * Dr. Jay Strack, founder of The Strack Center for Global Leadership & Ministry at Charleston Southern University, president/founder of Student Leadership University * ' Profound, timely, and one of the clearest books on growth, healing, and why truth matters. ' * J. P. Moreland, distinguished professor of philosophy, Talbot School of Theology, author of Finding Quiet * ' COVID-19 pushed hundreds of millions of people to deeper isolation, especially those struggling with addictions and deep hurts from their closest friends and families. Free to Thrive takes you through tested and biblical steps not only to healing but to thriving too. ' * Henri Aoun, strategic projects leader, North Africa/Middle East, LifeAgape International * ' The pages ahead are a key to unlock a cage that many don' t realize they' re in.

As a young man, Josh McDowell considered himself an agnostic. He truly believed that Christianity was worthless. However, when challenged to intellectually examine the claims of Christianity, Josh discovered compelling and overwhelming evidence for the reliability of the Christian faith. After trusting in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, Josh' s life changed dramatically as he experienced the power of God' s love. After his conversion, Josh committed his life to telling a doubting world about the truth of Jesus Christ. After studying at Kellogg College, Josh completed his college degree at Wheaton College and then attended Talbot Theological Seminary, graduating magna cum laude with a Masters of Divinity. Working with Campus Crusade for Christ and founding the youth outreach, Josh McDowell Ministry, Josh has shared the gospel with more than 25 million people in 125 countries. He is the author or co-authored of 147 books.
