All followers of Jesus are on a pilgrimage toward the same destination. But while the destination is the same, our pilgrimages are markedly diverse.
Firstly, each journey brims with possibilities, opportunities, joys, and successes, as well as being fraught with challenges, struggles, disappointments, and losses. Secondly, it's a faith journey. The circumstances of our lives are like a classroom in the Rabbi's school of spiritual growth. He is teaching us faith lessons as we learn to follow in his steps. Thirdly, behind everything in your life is a divine sovereign hand mysteriously and lovingly controlling, guiding, providing, holding, helping, and protecting you.
This book presents the story of a pastor and his family. God called them to grow a church in a spiritually dark and needy place where the people were influential and affluent. It's not meant to be an abnormal or exceptional story, but one to which every Jesus-follower can relate. This is a down-to-earth account of how God responds to faith and uses pain and adversity to fulfill his purposes in ordinary and extraordinary ways.
