Description
How much of myself and my possessions must I give up to follow Jesus? How does belonging to a religious community shape being a Christian? How do I walk in faith with friends whose beliefs are unclear or uncertain? What gives Christians hope in the face of power politics? Can I be pro-life and decry war, too? How do I make peace amidst the wrongs of the world? If you wonder about such questions, this book is for you. "The Road that I Must Walk" represents the author's own wrestling with the call and cost of discipleship across a decade. Rather than an academic attempt to define or describe discipleship, these are simply the words of a disciple, one who has sought to walk in the way of Jesus. Arising from various circumstances and responding to various concerns, the several pieces collected here comprise a sketchbook of ethical reflections, biblical meditations and spiritual ponderings drawn from one person's journey of faith. Darrin W. Snyder Belousek teaches Philosophy and Religion at Ohio Northern University and Bluffton University, Ohio. He is the author of "Atonement, Justice, and Peace: The Message of the Cross and the Mission of the Church" 2012 and "Good News: The Advent of Salvation in the Gospel of Luke" 2014. "Belousek inspired me on many levels and I appreciated this opportunity to get acquainted with this disciple. I was intellectually and spiritually challenged by his theological excursus and grateful for his discerning reflection on his remarkable experiences. I came away richer as a result, and you will too." Arthur Boers, Bernardo Family Chair of Leadership, Tyndale Seminary, Toronto. "This book is both devotional and theological. Above all, it is biblical. As I read this book, I was challenged to know Jesus more deeply and to follow him, regardless of cost." Shirley Hershey Showalter, Author of Blush.
