The Narrow Path

<p>''This is Rich Villodas at his pastoral best. His writing shimmers with grace, reflecting the radiance of a kingdom vision of the good life.''<br>-<b>GLENN PACKIAM</b><br><br>''This book is a much-needed heart checkup for every Jesus follower.''<br>-<b>CHRISTINE CAINE</b><br><br>''A book for all who are interested, intrigued, and deeply drawn to the possibility of Jesus and his narrow way.''<br>-<b>JOHN MARK COMER</b><br><br>''In <i>The Narrow Path</i>, Rich is telling a biography of Jesus - the Divine One who not only clears the way, teaches the way, and shows the way, but is the Way. The path is narrow because it is only as wide as the person of Christ. But it is big enough for everyone''s unique journey of life because he is the saviour of all.''<br>-<b>JUSTIN WELBY, ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY</b><br><br>We live in a culture that wants it all. More is seen as better - whether it''s more money, social media fame, more choices, or power. For those chasing this way of life, ''narrow'' seems negative. Who wants to narrow their options, or be seen as narrow-minded? Which is why the most well-known talk in history - the Sermon on the Mount - is also the most paradoxical. In it, Jesus holds up the narrow path as the most spacious ... and the broader path as the more confining one.<br><br>Rich Villodas, bestselling author of <i>The Deeply Formed Life</i>, helps us to diagnose whether we are following the broad or narrow path, in order to help us pursue the way of Jesus more deeply. <i>The Narrow Path</i> reintroduces the counterintuitive wonder of Jesus''s timeless wisdom for this age, one fraught with anxiety, depression, polarizing politics, and online vitriol. The path of Jesus is most certainly narrow, but it is the only one filled with the ever-expanding life of God . . . and it is available now for all who want it!</p>
