I am writing about the mistakes I have made so that you may avoid them on your journey of faith. If you have made similar mistakes, I hope this book will help you realize that you are not alone. I pray you will be encouraged that you can overcome those mistakes, and they can be important moments of learning that you benefit from, as painful as they may be at that moment. Mostly, I hope that you will realize that Jesus Christ will forgive you of your mistakes. If you have made mistakes, if you have experienced despair because of them, and if you have grieved over them, I pray you will also find the peace and joy and the awe and wonder of Jesus Christ that you may not have experienced before—peace, joy, awe, and wonder that cannot be found anywhere else. If you have struggled, as I have, to live more faithfully, this book is for you. Our mistakes do not deprive us of God’s love, but often reveal his love for us. Often, they teach us that Jesus Christ is the remedy, the balm, the redemption of all the mistakes we have made. I pray you will discover that he is for you too.

In his teens, a young man wrote, “I believe in no religion. There is absolutely no proof for any of them.” After serving in the trenches of WW1, the same young man said, “I never sank so low as to pray.” To a religious friend, he wrote impatiently, “You can’t start with God. I don’t accept God!” This young man was C. S. Lewis, the “foul-mouthed atheist” who would become one of the most eloquent Christian writers of the twentieth century. David C. Downing offers a unique look at Lewis’s personal journey to faith and the profound influence it had on his life as a writer and eventual follower of Christ. This is the first book to focus on the period from Lewis’s childhood to his early thirties, a tumultuous journey of spiritual and intellectual exploration. It was not despite this journey but precisely because of it that Lewis understood the search for life’s meaning so well.

Wendell Berry, one of the country's foremost cultural critics, addresses the menace, responding with hope and intelligence in a series of essays that tackle the major questions of the day. Whose freedom are we considering when we speak of the ''free market'' or ''free enterprise?'' What is really involved in our National Security? What is the price of ownership without affection? Berry answers in prose that shuns abstraction for clarity, coherence, and passion, giving us essays that may be the finest of his long career.

Every day in America, four women are murdered by their spouses or intimate partners. This statistic does not change in the church. In fact, one reason many women remain in violent marriages is due to a narrow understanding of Scripture and of God's heart. For these women, Jennifer Faith has a word: it is not God's will for you to be abused. For over twenty years, Jennifer lived a secret life―a life of fear and shame―a daily existence marked by powerlessness and oppression. Yet God was always there, long before she was able to distinguish between his loving voice of truth and the lies that kept her captive. If she had not finally allowed Him to intervene, Jennifer would not likely be here today to tell her story and to give Jesus, her compassionate, pursuing Savior, all the glory. With honesty and humility, Jennifer recounts how she came to find herself in a violent marriage―the red flags she missed, the toxic thinking that made her a victim rather than a victor. With courage, she shares her journey from horror to wholeness. She provides resources to help women answer the questions that keep battered women stuck: Am I in an abusive relationship? What if it's my fault? Is it biblical to leave? And she offers hope that, just as God made a way for her to journey out of darkness into a life of light and freedom, he wants to do the same for others.

The word ‘journey’ is a common metaphor used to describe our time here on Earth. Everyone's journey of life is unique and it can change direction, at any time, for any reason, by our own choice or by conditions imposed upon us. This booklet is about one quite ordinary life journey – mine – a dominant feature of which is a journey to faith in God. I was brought up in India as a god-fearing Hindu mainly because of the influence my mother's religious practices had on me. But my life as a Hindu radically changed direction when I was confronted by the God of the Bible. I respectfully discuss my experiences both as a Hindu and as a Christian and present my reasons for the change of spiritual direction in my life. I hope you find this booklet an encouragement in your own journey of life.
