The Walk: Clear Direction and Spiritual Power for Your Life

Are you walking with God, dragging your feet, or running ahead of Him? Take the first step in living at God's pace. When you start walking with God, it's easy to misplace the emphasis. You might think it's about seeking perfection or impressing God with your level of commitment. But God isn't looking for perfection, and no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to impress him. Walking with God is exactly what it says: God invites you to get in step with what he is doing in the world. When you walk with God, you allow him to set the pace for every aspect of your life. And that is when you discover faith and strength that overcome doubt, fear, and temptation. Let Shaun Alexander help you get started on the greatest adventure possible. If you are ready to know God as your Walking Companion, you are ready to begin The Walk. God invites you to grow through five stages of spiritual maturity Walking with God is not a contest or a competition, and it has nothing to do with how you look in front of others. Your walk with Christ is the most extreme, dangerous, and intimate adventure you will ever be part of. But all you have to do is walk, which takes you to a place where it's not about you-instead, you will become part of something that is much bigger than anything you canimagine. God leads his followers through five stages of spiritual maturity. He begins by working in us even before we trust him, drawing us while we are still Unbelievers. He walks with us when we become Believers, training us so that we can grow to live as Examples of Christ. He works with Examples, showing them how to explain what they believe and making them Teachers. And God calls some Teachers to serve as Imparters, those who do the miraculous work of Jesus on earth. While our tendency is to run ahead of God or lag behind, just walking with God through the stages of spiritual maturity will transform your life with biblical wisdom, God's direction, and the power of the Holy Spirit. With God at your side, your life will have an unprecedented impact on others. From the Hardcover edition.
