Your Next Thirty Days - Dean Fulks
"We don’t know what each day will hold, but we will be much better equipped if we start each day in God’s Word and in prayer. In Your Next Thirty Days, my friend Dean Fulks challenges all of us, whether we’re new to the faith, returning to the faith, or a seasoned believer. Dean has combined great stories from his own life with timeless principles from God’s Word. The result will put you on the path to a closer walk with our Creator."
– Kevin Ezell, President of the North American Mission Board
"No matter where you are on your journey with Christ, all of us have a next step to take. My good friend, Dean Fulks, has written a powerful new book to help you find your next step to deeper intimacy with God. Enjoy your journey through Your Next Thirty Days as you grow in your life-changing relationship with Jesus!"
– Vance Pitman, Senior Pastor of Hope Church in Las Vegas, NV
"LifePoint Church has baptized hundreds of people and been a frequent guest on the ‘100 Fastest Growing Churches in America’ list. As founding pastor, Dean understands, as few do, what new believers need. Your Next Thirty Days is now my answer to, ‘What book would you recommend to new Christ-followers?’ The network of churches I direct has already placed a huge order."
– Rich Halcombe, Director of MCBA and CEO of Stowe Mission of Central Ohio
This book is a must-read! Dean has a powerful ability to open up God’s Word and relate it to everyday life with refreshing insights. You will laugh; you will be challenged; you will grow in your faith because of spending time with God through this book.
– Sara Gilham, mom of four and Bible Study Fellowship Teaching Leader
"Everyone wants to know the secret to success in their spiritual life. Dean’s book, Your Next Thirty Days, reveals that secret in a new and fresh way that’s personal, practical, and powerful. Regardless of where you are on your spiritual journey, I promise this book will move you forward."
– Chris Conlee, Author of LoveWorks: The Key to Making Life Work, Co-Founder and Lead Pastor of Highpoint Church in Memphis, TN
My friend and pastor Dean wrote this book on the principles and practice of spending time daily with God. Dean’s teaching style makes sense to any who have a desire for that relationship with God or already have one. Whether you’re a new believer, have that relationship but need to get back to the basics, or already spend time daily with God and are up for a thirty-day challenge, this book is just for you! Be brave and take a leap of faith! I hope this book challenges you in the next thirty days.
– Bryn Smathers, Christian for two years
"Dean has been our pastor for several years, and we’ve been blessed by his ability to take God-sized concepts and break them down into understandable bite-sized pieces. In Your Next Thirty Days, you’ll be challenged to take next steps in your faith, as you read stories of others who’ve walked this road and learn practical daily strategies to encourage you along the way. Set aside a few minutes daily for the next thirty days—you’ll be changed because you did."
– Laurie Hise, Founder of the passionatepennypincher.com
"Every major adjustment in our lives must have a beginning. It’s like the first few weeks of a diet or working out—if you never start, do not be disappointed in the lack of results! I know and love Dean Fulks and his family. What he teaches in Your Next Thirty Days comes from a humble heart and countless hours sitting at God’s table learning in order to be fed and disciplined at the same time! What he provides is deep spiritual nourishment to get you started, or maybe restarted, on the path of embracing God’s vibrant call for your life! Don’t miss it, friend—pick up the book. Your Next Thirty Days may be the ticket that will alter the spiritual direction of your next thirty years and more!"
– Dr. David Wheeler, Director of the Center for Ministry Training, Liberty University
Dean is one of those rare people who always makes your life better when you are around him. One of the many benefits of his new book is that we don’t have to schedule a meeting with him to reap the blessings of his wisdom; we can simply pick up his book. After thirty days of inspiration from his experiences and insights into the Word, we all will have fresh resources for growing in the faith and helping ‘elevate’ the people we love.
– John A. Hays, Senior Pastor of Jersey Baptist Church in New Albany, OH
"Pastor Dean has a God-given knack for making the big obstacles in life seem smaller, making hard turns softer, and making big commitments easier. Maybe you’ve often promised God, ‘I will make a daily habit of reading the Bible.’ Well, if you have made that promise (and never quite followed through), give Your Next Thirty Days a try. Dean will make daily Bible study a promise you desire to keep!"
– Mark Ricketts, President and CEO of National Church Residences and Columbus Men’s Bible Study Fellowship Teaching Leader
"A home run from my friend, Pastor Dean Fulks. Every pastor and church can benefit from Your Next Thirty Days."
– Greg Jackson, Pastor of FBC Camden in Camden, OH
"Whether you are new to faith, just returning to faith, or looking for a challenge in your faith, Dean has written Your Next Thirty Days just for you. This fun and engaging book of stories, principles and practical steps can invigorate your faith and lead you to a place of unmatchable intimacy with your loving God."
– Daniel Wallace, Executive Director of Gull Lake Ministries in Hickory Corners, MI
"Learning to deeply connect with our Creator is one of the most exhilarating aspects of the Christian life, and Your Next Thirty Days is sure to be a catalyst for your own journey. Practical and engaging, my friend Dean teaches as one who knows God well and yet understands the challenges we face to experience Him daily. I encourage both young and old to embark on this thirty-day adventure and see what God might do!"
– Jon Shah, Lead Pastor of H20 Church at the Ohio State University in Columbus, OH
The gravitational pull between the extremes of laziness and busyness make a consistent time with God elusive. Pastor Dean has gifted us with a thirty-day challenge to help anchor anyone to a regular, healthy devotional life. Melding God’s Word with transparent personal stories, pastoral insights, and applications, Dean leads us into thirty days of spiritual nourishment and encouragement. So whether you are brand new in your relationship with Jesus or have been walking with Him for decades, dive into the next thirty days with determination and anticipate your relationship with Jesus to grow!
– Chad Allen, Lead Pastor of Cuyahoga Valley Church in Broadview Heights, OH
"To produce a harvest you have to have good seed, good soil, and good nutrients. Your Next Thirty Days is a practical, biblical, and relational resource that can guide you in seeking, finding, and knowing God! Open it. Read it. Practice it. Then, watch God produce a harvest of His grace in your personal life that will be beyond what you can think or imagine!"
– Jack Helton, Evangelism Team Leader, SCBO.org
"Dean has taken a different approach in Your Next Thirty Days. Most books will either lean heavy on information or lean heavy on experience. However, Dean has combined the two, so you not only get to learn about God but also get to know Him better personally in relationship. Dean’s day by day approach, with practical steps along the way, will definitely make ‘your next thirty days’ a fulfilling thirty days."
– Brian Broyles, Church Planting Leader and Christian for four years
"Your Next Thirty Days provided the encouragement I needed at exactly the right time. It was a perfect reminder of how valuable it is to spend daily time with my Father, especially when life becomes busy. The results were fruitful and left me feeling spiritually full and loved."
– Abby Chubb, Senior at Olentangy Orange High School
"In Your Next Thirty Days, Dean takes you on a journey into what life looks like when thoughts are synchronized with truth. If applied, this book will change you and those around you. How do I know? Because I’ve watched the author up close, living out these principles over the last ten years. Take it up. Read it in. Live it out. And enjoy what God does in and through you."
– Brian Frye, National Collegiate Strategist, North American Mission Board
