Barnabas Briefs: Encouragement along the Road is an exercise in discovering and gaining encouragement in one’s life pilgrimage. It is through the author’s own experience, poetry, and meditations on scripture themes that such encouragement may be realized. The title is taken from the name of the Apostle Paul’s early companion and encourager, Barnabas, who was responsible for Paul’s introduction to the early church leaders in Jerusalem. The author’s hope is that this book will be a companion on the road of life’s encounters. May it further be a challenge for you to remember your own encouragers and result in you becoming one for others as well.
