God Walk: Moving at the Speed of Your Soul

Description

What happens when we literally walk out our Christian life Drawing on Jesus' lived example of walking, pastor and bestselling author Mark Buchanan explores one of the oldest spiritual practices of our faith. We often act as if faith is only about the mind. But what about our bodies What does our physical being have to do with our spiritual life When the Bible calls us to walk in the light, walk by faith, or walk in truth, it means these things literally as much as figuratively. The most obvious thing about Jesus' method of discipleship, in fact, is that he walked and invited others to walk with him. It's in the walking that his disciples are taught, formed, tested, empowered, and released. Part theology, part history, part field guide, God Walk explores: Walking as spiritual formation Walking as healing Walking as exercise Walking as prayer Walking as pilgrimage With practical insight and biblical reflections told in his distinct voice, Buchanan gives you the tools and encouragement you need to immediately implement the practice of living at God's speed. Praise for God Walk: "In this beautiful, inspiring book, Mark shows us how the simple rhythm of walking can take us farther on the path of wholeness, joy, and God than we imagined possible. Poetic, poignant, and immensely practical, this book will change your life . . . one step at a time." --Ken Shigematsu, pastor, Tenth Church, Vancouver; bestselling author, Survival Guide for the Soul
