Description
This book is about discipleship and is a witness to God's grace; seeing God in others and in creation; learning about God through church, scientific discovery, and theological education; preaching and pastoring; journeying with others; and teaching and exploring life and the world through theological reflection. The post-resurrection account of Jesus meeting two disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35) is the motif which is the central theme of the book and which shapes our reflection on the ways in which God calls and equips Christians in their life journey. It is a faith story that asks questions about how God acts in the world and in human lives; reflects on the nature of God and on God's desire for every human life; and on sharing the good news of new possibilities for a life in Christ, a life in all the fullness that God has purposed, where the Christ who accompanies us on the road is able to make sense of our experiences.
My hope is that readers will benefit from, and be challenged by, the testimony, theological reflection, and biblical exploration in this account of how we experience God's grace and calling on our lives.
