God can seem hard to understand. So can you. So can I. Add to that what God’s doing in us and who we’re meant to be in the world, and it’s easy for a typical Jesus-follower to feel a bit lost.

I Am a Field was written to help you get a sense of who God is, who you are, and what God's doing in you… through the Biblical metaphor of God being like a farmer and your life being like a field.

It's also full of stories, conversational language, and hopefully some funny bits.

Who's it for? It's for the auto insurance broker in Tulsa who’s been following Jesus since he was twelve. It’s for the soccer mom in Des Moines who’s realizing day-to-day life is lulling her faith to sleep. It’s for the college kid in Philadelphia who’s just coming to know Jesus and is unsure of what that journey will look like.

If you’re wanting to get a better sense of what God is growing inside your life, I Am a Field is for you.

I Am a Field is available now in paperback, ebook, and audiobook.

NICE THINGS FOLKS HAVE SAID ABOUT I AM A FIELD

The miracle of what happens when a seed is buried in the ground is as old as the earth, as profound as Jesus, and as fresh as a blossom. Jeff Davenport has harvested it into a book that will enlarge your soul and enrich your life. Read it and grow.”

—John Ortberg, author and pastor, Menlo Church, Menlo Park, CA

“C. S. Lewis. John Ortberg. Donald Miller. They all have the knack to sneak past the ‘watchful dragons’ in my head and engage me with truth in unexpected ways. I’ve now added Jeff Davenport to that list. Jeff has a rare gift to blend metaphor, story, and humor in a way that’s both flat-out fun and not-messing-around deep at the same time. Consider yourself warned.”

—Brian Wells, author of The League and the Lantern

“Jeff Davenport is the best communicator I know. It is an honor to teach with him on a regular basis. Jeff’s unique ability is making God approachable and desirable to everyone he meets. He shifts the emotions and beliefs of his listeners away from lies and toward the truth, making God irresistible in the process.”

—Ron Johnson, lead pastor, Restoration Community Church, Denver, CO

“I Am a Field sows handfuls of story seeds and reminds us that behind even a simple story is a truth. The American faith culture has lost the gift of story in favor of worldview rhetoric. Without story we cannot truly fathom a magnificent God and His crazy love for us. Jeff’s fresh voice makes this book feel more like a cup of coffee with an old friend.”

—James Anderson, CEO, The New Canaan Society

“When I was a college student, God used Jeff’s unpacking of biblical metaphors to transform my relationship with Him, and my entire life since then has been shaped by Jeff’s teaching and example. I Am a Fieldputs on full display Jeff’s incredible gift for making the wisdom of Scripture imminently relatable (and hilarious), helping us to see God’s love for us and his plan for our lives with completely fresh eyes.”

—Matthew J. Thomas, DPhil, assistant professor of Biblical studies, Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology, Berkeley, CA, instructor in theology, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia

—Jackelyn Viera Iloff, senior advisor, Lakewood Church, Houston, TX

“When our offices were across the hall from one another, Jeff and I found ourselves postponing work and instead finding time to talk about life, God, questions, and mission. This book takes me back to those days and reminds me how insightful and passionate and funny Jeff really is. Now so many more can be a part of that conversation and glean from his walk and his experience.”

—Keenan Barber, pastor, Beverly Hills Presbyterian Church, Beverly Hills, CA
