This is not a magnificent journey.\u003cbr\u003e There is a road to life in the unshakeable kingdom of God, but it's not an easy journey.\u003cbr\u003e \"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.\"\u003cbr\u003e In \u003cem\u003eThe Magnificent Journey\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780830846399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"James Bryan Smith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43204988108981,"sku":"9780830846399","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b4470aab-f5e7-44b3-9edb-d1087e969c1c.jpg?v=1698127267","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-magnificent-journey-living-deep-in-the-kingdom-9780830846399","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
