But while the destination is the same, our pilgrimages are markedly diverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirstly, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftcover Trim Size: 6 x 9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePage Count: 312\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid S.

It is not an easy or painless run. It can be demanding and tough. The Bible says, \"Run with endurance the race that God has set before you.\" God's race has an astounding eternal destination. This book focuses on the amazing journey of getting there. We often think the greatest races are reserved for the gods we read about in books or watch in the movies, not for mere mortals like us. Not true. The most amazing race is reserved for everyday folk like you and me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a sad reality that many people run the race of life far below their potential. Too many begin well but fail to finish well. They tire over the distance. They settle for the mediocre. The ordinary. They feel the pain of the run, but not the exhilaration. They become discouraged. Slowly dismayed. Easily distracted. Gradually sidetracked. They live aimlessly and soon find themselves running on empty. But God did not put you here to simply exist. He put you here to thrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will encourage, challenge, and inspire you to participate, endure, enjoy, flourish and go the distance in life's most amazing race.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftcover Trim Size: 5.5 x 8.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePage Count: 312\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/word-alive-press-bookstore.myshopify.com\/collections\/david-s-payne\"\u003eDavid S.
