Journey of a Believer: What One Person Learned in His Pursuit to Be a Follower of Jesus Christ

A map almost ruined our honeymoon. It was our second day of marriage, and as we were driving up the Olympic Peninsula to Port Angeles, I found it difficult to read the map and drive at the same time.

So I handed the map to my Debbie and asked her to tell me where to turn.As a new believer, I felt like Debbie: Someone hands you a Bible and expects you to know how to read it.

Jesus had transformed me into a new creation, but I was a baby who did childish things and needed a parent to nurture me along and stimulate my spiritual development.

I hope that in a way, I can be that for you as you read the lessons I learned in my pursuit to be a follower of Christ, such aslearning to effectively tell people how Jesus changed my life,becoming consistent in spending time alone with God,letting prayer be a vital part of my life,discovering what helps grow my faith,finding an easy way to study the Bible, andmastering sin in my life.I thank my heavenly Father and Lord Jesus for my journey because with each lesson, I have grown closer to Them.

As that intimacy deepens, so does the longing to be with Them in heaven.

My prayer is that this will happen to you as I share my journey with you.
