Editorial Reviews
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Or maybe you're persuaded of their reality. You've sensed that life is like a curtain-there's something important on the other side. But what? How can you know the truth about God and eternity, and how does it apply to your life right now?
The Bible is God's message to people. But reading it can be confusing if you're not familiar with it-unless you've got help. Beginning the Journey meets you right where you are in your spiritual journey and guides you through five key books of the Bible: Genesis, Deuteronomy, the Gospel of John, Acts and Romans.

And it's filled with easy-to-use study tools from the Willow Creek Association-the world's leading resource for spiritual seekers-that help answer your questions about how the Bible's centuries-old wisdom connects with today's world. With your world, you're not alone in it. Someone is walking with you, guiding your steps-and waiting for you at your journey's end.
