<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>There is a road to life in the unshakeable kingdom of God, but it's not an easy journey. James Bryan Smith shows us the better road, the road less traveled, but the road full of riches. He introduces new spiritual practices that will provide the sustenance for the deepest, joy-filled journey of our lives-the journey into the heart of God.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>We are told, "Look out for yourself first" and "Nice guys finish last."</strong> But following that path leaves us feeling isolated and anxious, and can even take us to a place of ruin. This is not a magnificent journey.<br /> There is a road to life in the unshakeable kingdom of God, but it's not an easy journey.<br /> "We cannot enter into the kingdom unless we take our cross and die to ourselves," writes author James Bryan Smith. "We often assume that this will be painful. And of course it is. But what is the alternative? I can, for example, choose to navigate my life, choose to live as I want, and aim at fulfilling all of my desires. This will result in that despair Kierkegaard wrote of, the sickness unto death. . . . The wisest choice, then, is to surrender."<br /> In <em>The Magnificent Journey</em>, the author shows us the better road, the road less travelled, but the road full of riches. Along the way he introduces us to new spiritual practices that will provide the sustenance we need for the deepest, most joy-filled journey of our lives--the journey into the heart of God.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Too often our thinking about growing as followers of Jesus is focused on our own activities for God. But God invites us to cultivate humble receptivity which would then give birth to holy activity. Obedience is then a response to grace. Surrender is then a response to love. Smith speaks here from lived wisdom about the transforming privilege of loving abandon to divine generosity. I highly recommend this book."</p><p>Alan Fadling, author of An Unhurried Life and An Unhurried Leader</p><p> </p><p>"Deep and accessible, profound and personal, James Bryan Smith offers the very best writing in spiritual transformation. He's the ideal guide for this magnificent journey. Walk with him and you will become the good and beautiful <em>you</em> that God created you to be."</p><p>Ken Shigematsu, pastor Tenth Church, Vancouver, BC, author of Survival Guide for the Soul</p><br>
