Fiensy   The Journey: Spiritual Growth in Galatians and Philippians SYNOPSIS: The purpose of life is not to prosper; it is to develop the soul (Alexander Solzhenitsyn) The Christian life is not so much walking the line as hitting the road. It is about journeying with God through the adventures of life, climbing the mountains of joy and descending into the valleys of suffering. In this inspiring, accessible, and engaging book, Fiensy draws on his forty years as teacher and pastor to explore Paul's spirituality. He focuses on Paul's autobiographical references in his letters to the Galatians and Philippians. The Journey teaches us that the Christian's life in the Spirit can benefit from suffering as well as joy, danger as well as peace, and rejection as well as love.   CONNECT WITH DAVID A.
