Shunpiking: No Shortcuts to God
In the 1800s, the term shunpikers was coined for drivers who avoid toll roads at all cost, going out of their way, sometimes many miles, to avoid paying a small fee. The ironic nature of shunpiking is that it usually costs the driver more in time and money than the toll would have. Sometimes, the driver winds up lost and never even arrives at their desired destination. In Shunpiking: No Shortcuts to God, Reno Omokri says many believers want the blessings of God without paying the "toll." When God's children accept the price of applying biblical principles to their lives, they avoid the headaches and heartaches that come with trying to find their own way. Reno Omokri has enjoyed a long career in politics in Nigeria, where he now handles media relations for the president. In the same vein as CS Lewis, Shunpiking: No Shortcuts to God is a series of essays and lessons to all believers on applying biblical principles to our lives. At one time or another, all Christians struggle with veering off the path, leading lives of missed opportunities. Omokri shows you how to get back on the road God set before you, to attain the blessings He promised.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Reno is a passionate visionary. He has worked at the highest level of politics and has never lost focus for why he does it—to improve the lives of ordinary people guided by his values of peace and justice. I've known Reno for a long time, and it's obvious how his faith inspires him—spiritually, professionally, and personally—and it will also inspire all who read this book.” —Joe Trippi, Founder and President of Trippi & Associates

“I was there when Reno started the Mind of Christ Christian Center and both my wife and I have grown in the knowledge of God from the teachings he has taught. Reno reminds me of Daniel in the bible. He is presently an influential and top government official whose worked in Parliament in the U.K. and with a major political consultancy in the U.S. yet he finds time to do the work of God full time and this book is a practical work of principles from the bible simplified with very workable ways to apply them in the modern world. I thank God that He gave Reno the inspiration to write it.” —John Fashanu, Former English International Football Player, TV Sports Presenter and ex-UNICEF Ambassador.
