Path of Life

by Rick Howe

Overview

Path of Life is a theological and practical study of joy. In a day when many see Christian faith primarily as a form of disapproval, Path of Life embraces and champions a joyful vision of life, from our enjoyment of God, to delight in our most important relationships, to pleasure in our most significant endeavors, to the adventurous joy of being an agent of God's Kingdom in the world. In a day when many see Christian faith as irrelevant, Path of Life sees joy connecting with our deepest longings and highest aspirations, and touching every facet of our lives. In a day when many see Christian faith as a set of obscure doctrines and rigid rules, Path of Life focuses on the God whose radiant joy eclipses all else, whose beauty steals our breath, and whose goodness beckons us into a life-changing, life-enriching relationship that will never end. Path of Life seeks to lead people into the Scriptures, and to introduce them to a growing band of Christians who see following Jesus as a path and portal to flourishing in life.

Editorial Reviews

God commands us to rejoice, even in difficult circumstances. But how is that possible? Just what is joy anyway? In Path of Life Rick Howe deftly guides his readers into the many wonderful dimensions of joy, with a refreshingly clear writing style and an appropriately upbeat outlook on life - one that he himself models. Part biblical studies, part theology and philosophy, and part C.S. Lewis reader, this delightful book made me more joyful just reading it!

Solicited Recommendation - Craig Blomberg

Contemporary evangelicalism has overemphasized knowledge about God without leading people to experience him in ways that bring soul-satisfying joy. Rick Howe creates an apologetic for joy as a gift that God wants to give to his people to sustain, inspire and renew them. As you read Path of Life, may you discover that the joys God gives are more awesome and deeply satisfying than you ever imagined!
