FLOWERS ALONG THE PATH

If the Christian life can be likened to a journey, then the truths we encounter on our way can be likened to Flowers Along the Path. That's the illustration selected by Esther Dodgen to describe her anthology of spiritual thoughts from writers both contemporary and historical. Brief, inspiring words in both prose and poetry illuminate the stages of the spiritual life, beginning with "The Seeking Soul," and continuing through the Pondering, Awakening, Joyful, Developing, and Giving Soul. Each stage is further divided into helpful descriptions of the Christian life, such as "Growing in Knowledge and Understanding" and "Treating Others in a Christ-like Manner." Includes scores of quotations from sources as diverse as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to Henry Blackaby, author of Experiencing God. Includes a topical and author index.
