Synopsis

Have you ever felt faithful... but not alive?

You serve, lead, teach, and endure—but the fire of your first love for God has faded into duty, busyness, or quiet exhaustion. Like the church at Ephesus that Jesus commended for its hard work and sound doctrine yet confronted with one devastating diagnosis: "You have forsaken the love you had at first" (Revelation 2:5).

RESTORE: A Journey Back to First Love is the companion book for the RESTORE Renewal Seminar and a powerful standalone resource for personal renewal, small groups, or pastoral recovery. Drawing from over 35 years of pastoral ministry, hospice bereavement work, and the author's own journey through multiple heart attacks, Dr. Bobby Bressman guides believers through a Christ-centered, seven-phase process rooted in Revelation 2:5—Remember. Repent. Do the first works.

This isn't another program of "try harder." It's a pathway back to the agape love that once fueled your faith:

• Recognize your full story with God through the RESTORE Story Map.
• Engage your drifts (Approval, Appetite, or Ambition) with honest lament and the healing language of the Psalms.
• Surrender passions to God's purposes.
• Transform through your God-given design and abilities.
• Overcome in your current context and roles.
• Renew your core calling and vision.
• Embrace the horizon ahead with a practical Rule of Life and renewed story.

Filled with vulnerable personal stories (including the author's), composite portraits of real struggles (the plateaued pastor, overwhelmed worship leader, ambitious elder, and others), embodied breath prayers, discussion questions, and the RESTORE Journey Map, this book helps you move from spiritual displacement to renewed intimacy with Christ.

Perfect for:

• Pastors and ministry leaders feeling burnout or isolation (Barna data shows the quiet epidemic).
• Committed believers, small groups, and Sunday school classes seeking fresh fire.
• Anyone who wonders if the passion they once knew can return.

The One who began a good work in you is not finished. Renewal doesn't start with strategy—it starts with surrender.

Return to your first love. The journey home begins here.
