Toward the Journey's End

by D. E. Young, Mark J. Larson (Foreword by)

Overview

The Christian life is a journey, as John Bunyan put it in Pilgrim's Progress, from the "City of Destruction" to the "Celestial City." The Christian's experiences are many and varied along the way. Sometimes, the Christian seems to be in "green pastures" and sometimes in the "valley of the shadow of death," yet the Shepherd is with him all the time and all the way. We have many blessings but also many trials in this "already but not yet" life. Already we taste something of the joy of heaven and the "powers of the age to come" but we are still beset with sin and weakness and must "keep on keeping on." It is hoped that this volume will bring encouragement to God's people to do just that.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“Traveling toward the ‘heavenly city’ with Ms. Young is a trip of faith. We meet heroes of the faith. We meet our friends. We meet those for whom we’re praying. We see their successes. We see their failures. We see sadness and despair, then hope and joy. She takes us to a dying friend, then helps us rejoice in the birth of a covenant child. Then she makes us laugh with a funny two-liner. But make no mistake: throughout this work one theme flows from her pen and that is the saving grace of Jesus Christ—the Old Testament promise and the New Testament fulfillment. Enjoy the trip!”

—Bette Jadwin, graphic designer and publication editor (retired)



“In the spirit of a modern-day Bunyan, Dorothy reminds us . . . that we need a persevering faith in order to arrive at our eternal and celestial destination; and most importantly, she reminds us that the ‘Lord God is our sun and shield, who gives grace and glory, withholding no good thing from those who walk uprightly’ (Ps 84:11). Such a life is arduous. . . . I am grateful to be on the journey with Dorothy as a fellow pilgrim.”

—Stephen Jennings, pastor, Tampa, Florida
