This is the story of Randy Bohlender, and his wife Kelsey; they took the "normal" route to begin with when they entered into ministry. They soon found that they didn't fit that mold and yearned for something more of God. The only problem was that they weren't even sure what that was or what it looked like. They just felt strongly that for them it wasn't going to be the usual church business as usual. Their journey soon became a process of elimination and exposure to ministries who were already experiencing more of what God was doing.
What did I take away from reading this book? Here are some points that the author made that really stood out to me:
1. I do find it weird that the church strives to convenience
people when people really thrive on challenge.
2. I find it weird that so many believers are satisfied with
their present reality.
Unbelievers generally have a better grip on the idea of pilgrimage
than believers do. They understand that change is usually
found over the horizon, and one needs to go somewhere to find it.
The last statement I have seen working in several different situations recently:
3, God’s purposes really do work toward good.
I would add that OFTEN the answer that God brings doesn't look anything like we thought it would; but He does do what He promised; He brings good out of bad. Nothing is ever wasted.
I received this E book free from Destiny Image in exchange for an honest review.
