Pete Wilson’s second book “Empty Promises”, is coming out tomorrow. He is the Senior Pastor at Crosspoint Church in Nashville, Tennessee where my boys attend church. His first book – Plan B, which was published in 2010 is in all the major bookstores and is listed on Amazon’s best seller list. I read that book and gave copies away.
Empty Promises will do no less I am sure.
Here is an excerpt recent email I received from Pete…
“I wrote this book because I see a natural drift in my own life. It’s a drift toward things that do not satisfy me, have never satisfied me, and have no hope of ever satisfying me, but I still continue to pursue them anyway.
How ironic is it that although we’ve had gadgets, relationships, success, beauty and all these things that the world says, “This is what satisfies you,” although we’ve had those things, and we’ve tasted them, they didn’t satisfy.
So much of my life has been wasted on this lie: More of what we already possess that does not satisfy us is somehow going to bring us joy and happiness. How crazy is that. We think more of what doesn’t work might work. I know it sounds funny, but it’s also sad because this is where a bulk of humanity is stuck. I’m praying God’s going to use this book to impact a lot of people.” – Pete
I encourage you to get this book, read it and pass it on! – Kelita

Book Description:
We all long for more of something in our lives. In our endless pursuit to feel worth and acceptance we find ourselves sacrificing everything for the promise to be a little more beautiful, a little richer, a little more powerful and successful, a little more loved.
How do we break free from these empty pursuits and start chasing the only Promise that will ever satisfy? How do we uncover the hidden idols that are driving us and turn our devotion toward the one true God?
Join Pastor and best-selling author Pete Wilson in discovering the joy and freedom that comes with seeking after God with your whole life. Learn how to replace, and not just relinquish, life’s empty promises by turning your focus and worship toward Him. It is the only thing that will set you absolutely free from the endless pursuit of everything else.
