With glorious sunsets, incredible wildlife and peace-loving people, you can almost understand why someone would leave the comforts of home and the security of successful careers, for a life in Botswana. Joy in the Desert tells the story of a small band of devoted Christians who did just that, moved to an unknown country, with no guaranteed salary.
The story highlights the unwavering faith of Paul and Silas as they sing in a Philippi prison despite their brutal conditions. Their joy in suffering stems from their deep devotion to Christ, who remains the center of their lives. This powerful narrative emphasizes themes of resilience, hope, and the transformative power of faith in the face of adversity.
Journeying through Paul’s letter to the Ephesians is like mountain climbing in the Himalayas. We keep moving higher, scaling peak after peak, until we gain a panoramic view of God’s purposes, as from the heights of heaven itself. This volume approaches the ascent in small manageable steps, verse by verse. It shows that there is value in every verse of Scripture, not only to increase our spiritual understanding, but also to challenge us to godly living day by day. Join me on the journey so that together we might enjoy the breathtaking view from the summit!
