Walking With God Small

Walking with God on the Road You Never Wanted to Travel (Thomas Nelson; July, 2005) In a fallen world, pain doesn’t ask permission. With a single statement, your happy, well-ordered life can explode into chaos.

“It’s malignant.”
“I don’t love you anymore.”
“Mom, I think I’m pregnant.”
“You may never walk again.”
“Your husband didn’t survive the surgery.”

These are just some of the terrifying statements that can send you careening off on a road you never wanted to travel. But even in such agonizing moments, there is hope. Walking with God on the Road You Never Wanted to Travel is about triumphing through your pain, rather than getting bogged down in fear, defeat, and endless questions.

Based on the Israelites’ 40-year trek in the wilderness, Mark offers 13 survival strategies for hard road travelers. Tempered by more than 30 years of pasturing, his insights are warm, relevant, and compassionate. Many readers have commented that the book became a lifeline to God during the darkest days of their struggle.
