Travelers On The Ancient Paths: Ageless Wisdom For An Anxious World

Why don't I have the abundant, full, free life of joy Jesus promised those who follow Him? Travelers on the Ancient Paths thoroughly explores the answer to that question. This anthology is comprised of excerpts from the writings and sermons of a dozen persons who lived intimately and deeply with God. The chapters contained within present the many and varied paths of a relationship with God that all find their origination and destination in Christ alone. Some may call the writers who were selected for this book "mystics" - persons who lived by faith, and encountered struggles, sadness, joy, hardships, triumphs, victories and even much that remained a mystery - such are lives that are being led by the Holy Spirit. The subjects they address include: Holiness, Surrender, Abiding, Suffering, Persecution, Prayer, Waiting, Patience, Contentment, Stillness, Quietness, Perseverance, Love, Joy, Mercy, Grace, Goodness, Denying Self, Sovereignty, Control, Mystery, Transformation, Change and many, many more. The authors from whom these writings are taken lived as early as the 1600's and a few were in this world into the early 20th century. The authors of these chapters are eleven men and one woman, individuals who worshiped the Lord passionately and wholeheartedly, and were from varied denominational backgrounds including Quakers, Puritans, Congregationalists, Pentecostals, Baptists and Dutch Reformed. In many respects, this is a "sampler" of these authors, missionaries and pastors. You will discover the uniqueness of each, and will likely find a new favorite among these ancient travelers. Some of their books are still available today in various formats. Divided into 82 short chapters within this book, these texts are meant to be read, then meditated upon and, with the use of a repeated set of questions at the end of each chapter, you will be challenged to consider what difference the content of each can and/or will make in your own heart and life. If you have a heart that seeks a more powerful, deeper, intimate, fulfilling and individual relationship with our Heavenly Father, then this is a book you must own.
