Exploring The Spiritual Journeys Of Bible Pilgrims In Endless Possibilities Books

By Iva Cannon


There are many role models you could choose to follow. But some of the famous Bible characters offer much value in terms of making life choices and living with the consequences of those decisions. These are interesting people indeed. It is not surprising that author and pastor, the Rev. Dr. Lee Spitzer has looked at their stories and developed inspiring writings to help modern day readers.

Because there are many times when the spiritual walk becomes a confusing journey, help with keeping focus is desired. The course of endless possibilities books was written to help readers find more clear pathways for their own particular movements through life. Acknowledging that lack of clarity is a universal problem for many religious pilgrims, these writings serve to provide a clearer outline.

These writings are organized with questions and opportunities for readers to explore their answers to those posed. Considering how one is growing or declining in faithfulness is one important topic. Becoming aware of God as a giver of paths is another significant topic.

Author Spitzer has compiled a very thoughtful duo for those seeking to more fully embrace their spirituality. He became a Christian when he was only a teenager, but his Jewish heritage provided a rich environment of learning by questioning and thinking. He uses these skills to teach people how to be organized and clear headed when focusing on their own journeys toward increased faith. He has provided writings about the essence of journeys and a workbook to guide us to better understanding of how we choose and take our pathways.

These books divide any journey of faith into five important phases. Preparation is the first. Next comes identifying the call to be faithful. Third gives ways to understand how important it is that we cooperate with our neighbors and God. Fourth in the list is about goals and what we must do when we reach them. Fifth and last includes resurrection and life anew for today and tomorrow. These distinct parts of each of our journeys are guidelines for understanding how and what we should undertake along the way. The idea is that we can learn to see what is happening more clearly and act upon circumstances in positive ways.

The program has two main volumes. The first identifies what a spiritual journey truly is, teaches goals that one might use to focus on better life pathways, gives solutions for what to do when the paths are poorly judged and filled with problems and seeks to stimulate new thinking about what choices might be better for fulfilling positive goals.

The second volume in the program is course book filled with numerous opportunities for journal writing, note taking, and truly questioning what Christianity requires of its followers and provides for them throughout life. This contains reflections on the spiritual self using scripture passages for devotional purposes.

In addition to the course, retreats are offered for those seeking in depth training. Participants can join together to make new friends and learn personal skills for religious growth. The insightful publications come alive when used as the theme for these events.
