I spent years in the same cycle: emotionally rededicating myself to God, really trying this time, only to come up empty-handed yet again. Eventually, I realized I'd been pursuing a transactional walk-the-aisle approach to faith when what I really needed was a transformational walk-the-path experience with God. "Our times cry out for fresh voices who will become our companions and guides along this Way. I give joyful thanks for this voice." —Trevor Hudson, author of Discovering Our Spiritual Identity
I found that path in the ancient Christian concept of the Threefold Way: the classic movement through stages of purgation, illumination, and union. Ultimately, this book is a field guide for anyone hungry to dwell more deeply in God's love and, over a lifetime, become like Christ.
Both the audiobook and a companion audio devotional drop inside Dwell on release day, Sept 1—narrated by me!
