Read an Excerpt

The Gospel of Jesus Christ Examined

Every journey toward God begins with a desire, however small, to know Him. It may start as nothing more than a question asked late at night, or a feeling that life should mean more than it seems to. That desire is not to be dismissed. It is the first light on the path.

From desire grows faith, and from faith grows the courage to change. In the chapters that follow, each step is examined plainly, so that the reader can see not only what is asked, but why it matters.

Volume 1

Norman Svelund

Enduring to the end is not a final step taken once. It is the daily choice to continue: to keep desiring, believing, turning, and remembering, long after the first enthusiasm has faded.

This volume gathers teachings on that steady walk, so that the reader may find strength for the ordinary days as well as the difficult ones.
