Synopsis

A Rebellion against Apathy.A Strategy for Action. ""Life is full of good intentions, but for too many, our good intentions never become good actions--they don't move us forward, draw us closer to God, or make a difference in the world.""Good intentions are cans of paint that could have become amazing works of art...but never did."" --Daniel Day, in" Ten Days Without" Daniel Day could "tell" you all about his love for God and his desire to live as a follower of Jesus. But it took a simple but radical experiment to move from simply talking about it to actually living like it. For ten days at a time, Daniel chose to abandon a certain "necessity"--a coat, a voice, shoes, media, furniture, legs, touch--and to blog about it to raise funds and awareness for organizations that are doing amazing things to make a difference in the world. And then he invited others to join him in the experiments and spread the vision. Together they served God and others--and experienced significant personal change in the process. "Ten Days Without "is the story of their life-altering adventure. "Ten Days Without" is a compelling story and practical guide that will equip you and your friends to break through walls of convenience and indifference, and join a movement that is confronting apathy and ignorance around the world to make an impact on people's lives in a God-honoring way. "Ten Days Without" is where our good intentions end and making a difference in the world begins.
