Editorial Reviews

09/11/2017
In this passionate, expressive work, Veach, “millennial pastor” of Zoe Church in Los Angeles, Calif., documents the many challenges he faced while finding his way into the path of Jesus Christ. Veach lays the groundwork for all believers to discover God’s plan for their lives. He knows that many Christians have dreamed of doing great things, only to be met with disappointment. But he argues that believers should look beyond what their senses tell them and instead think of God as an enabler, a friend, and the ultimate guide to a fulfilled life. Veach doesn’t trade in spiritual pap; instead, he provides an uplifting message through candid explorations of his own failures. “I get excited, when I think about you reader, because I truly believe that you’re on the brink of God’s amazing plan for your life,” he writes. Those struggling with discerning God’s purpose in their lives, wherever they are along their faith journeys, will find encouragement and guidance in this informative book.
