Book Cover & Preview Text
A journey can be many things: a trek, trip, expedition, pilgrimage, passage, tour, commute, errand, excursion, hop, jaunt, junket, outing, voyage, quest, walk, or a walkabout. Basically, it’s the act of traveling from one place to another, i.e., from here to eternity, on my way to heaven, on my way to eternity. As a Christian, we’ve chosen to journey with God, not just a journey, but an epic journey, one focused on the heroic figure of Jesus Christ. It is helpful and rewarding to occasionally reflect on that journey: look back at where you started and look forward to where you are going, with an idea of knowing how you will get to the end. Will your journey be successful and fulfilling? Will it bring glory to God? Will you enjoy the journey?

About the Book
This book started with “wondering.” As I sought to grasp the essence of discipleship, I wondered about the very human aspects of the disciples’ journey with Jesus for three and a half years. Were they ever discouraged? Did they think of quitting? What bonds were developed between the twelve? How did they grow and change?
I set out to examine their journey and found a very real connection to our journeys with Jesus and reasons to reflect deeply on this journey. This book will not only motivate you to reflect on God’s goodness as you think of your past, it will gently lead you to think about where you are today while parading the promises of endless tomorrows spent in His presence. My prayer is that you will take this opportunity to reflect on your journey with Jesus, see His handprint in your life, deepen your commitment to your walk with Him, and find a wellspring of contentment in your own Epic Journey.
