Description
As we make our way into the twenty-first century, many Christians are looking for an expression of discipleship that speaks meaningfully to our time, a faith yearning that is at once personally intimate and relevant and that grows out of and nurtures authentic Christian community.
The Pilgrim's Compass shepherds readers through a metaphorical pilgrimage to consider one's life a journey for faith formation. Using this book as a guide to help Christians consider their journey as they walk through the four stages of intentional faithfulness, disciples will encounter God, wrestle with God, be wounded as will God, and be reborn as a new person with a new name. The Pilgrim's Compass encourages individuals to embrace the ancient practice of pilgrimage both as metaphor for the daily walk of discipleship and as an intentional journey of faith, which uses prayerful travel to assist an inner transformation.
Advance Praise
“Paul Lang is a ‘practical theologian’ of the first order. He understands, in wise ways, how it is that the claims of serious gospel faith can be brought to actual practice. He understands, moreover, that ours is a time for restless, thoughtful Christians to be on the move in bold venturesome ways beyond the familiar. This book is a welcome, hands-on presentation that will serve thoughtful Christians well in a time that calls for fresh obedience.”
—Walter Brueggemann, William Marcellus McPheeters Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary, author of Sabbath as Resistance and Interrupting Silence
“This book connects the ancient foundations of our faith with the deep desires of today's Christians for a more vital relationship with God. The journey metaphor goes beyond intellect to draw believers into a kinetic faith experience. The Pilgrim's Compass will help churches get up and moving toward more of what God has for them to be and do.”
—Joan S. Gray, author of Sailboat Church and moderator of the 2017 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
