The Adventure: Putting Energy into Your Walk with God

by Gerald L. Sittser

Overview

"An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered."—G.K. ChestertonAs even a brief exposure to the New Testament will show, the Christian life is a life of adventure. Every aspect is full of energy and light. Yet too often we stop at one point of interest—evangelism, spiritual disciplines, social justice—and go no further. Interweaving stories from a summer vacation, Jerry Sittser shows how our lives can include all God has in mind for us. In a book that is fun and challenging, Sittser restores wholeness to the adventure of Christian living.
