To those new to the faith, I say, what an opportunity to start off on the right path. Over the course of your life, you have a chance to move the body of believers forward in unprecedented ways. To the larger group in the mid-season of their faith, hope is on its way. This is a special group of unsung heroes. Though I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting most of them, I feel a special connection to them. They are always on my heart. You pass them on the way to work every day. They nod hello as you pass them in the train station. They are good-hearted souls. Far too many, however, are living lives of quiet desperation.
They are the disquieted majority. Some read their Bibles. Others don’t. Many pray, attend church regularly and try their best to do what is right. In the quiet moments, if pressed to be perfectly honest, many would admit they are disappointed, confused, and uninspired in their experience with God. They are committed to church, but that commitment gets harder to maintain with every year that passes. They know their Bibles well, but can’t relate to the people in scripture through whom God worked so powerfully. They are willing to serve and to dutifully take on any task assigned. In their hearts, though, there are no compelling visions that have captured their imaginations and fuel their actions. They don't wake up each morning with enthusiasm and excitement at what the day may hold.
"Walk This Way" successfully navigates the thin line between deep spiritual concepts and on-the-spot practical advice. It dives into the depths of the reader’s fundamental beliefs and emotions. It provides a roadmap that, when followed, has the power to change believers from dutiful followers into transformative reflections of God’s love, mercy, and power. It is a guide for how we can see our Creator in new ways no matter how old our relationship with Him.

LIFE TO THE FULL
