The Life Between the Miracles

What if understanding the way Jesus lived could change the way we follow Him?

Kavanah and Jesus: The Life Between the Miracles invites you to look beyond the familiar moments of Jesus’ ministry and pay attention to the ordinary life surrounding them—the roads He walked, the tables He shared, the prayers He prayed, the friendships He formed, and His wholehearted love for the Father.

Jesus did not simply teach His disciples a collection of truths. They lived beside Him. They watched Him pray, listened as He engaged Scripture, shared meals and long walks, noticed how He loved people, and experienced a life continually attentive to His Father.

Through the ancient biblical idea of kavanah—an aimed heart and an intentionally directed life—Dave and Rennie Garda invite us to watch Jesus again. Not to discover another technique or program, but to rediscover His way of life.

What emerges is a beautifully integrated picture of Word, prayer, love, and ordinary life woven together in relationship with God and others.

The first disciples did not receive a textbook.

They received a life.

And that life still invites us to follow.
