Nashville, TN (October 2, 2014) ---- Thomas Nelson will release the second book in the company's new Refraction series, The Reluctant Journey, on October 14th. Written by noted author and Trevecca Nazarene University professor, Dr. Richard Leslie Parrott,
the book shows you how to fulfill God's purpose for your life. Dr.
Parrott gives practical steps and ways to live out the truths of the
Lord's Prayer and stories of the founders of our faith. The book also
offers thought-provoking questions for spiritual conversation and
reflection.
Speaking about The Reluctant Journey, bestselling author and
speaker Dr. Stan Toler says, "Through the stories of Abraham, Jacob,
Joseph, and others, Richard Parrott has unpacked the grace of God in
word pictures that will renew the heart and inspire the reader."
The Reluctant Journey offers a path of spiritual authenticity
that is not a solo endeavor but a calling to a partnership with God.
This journey requires utter honesty, trust, commitment, and wisdom. God
guides your path with the promise of His love and guidance to do His
work in the world. Dr. Richard Parrott offers biblical examples of truly
hearing the voice of God as experienced by the family of Abraham and
Sarah, their son Isaac, grandson Jacob, and great-grandson Joseph. The Reluctant Journey is an honest and practical guide for relating to God and learning how to truly trust and live out His promises.
The books in Thomas Nelson's Refraction collection candidly speak into
the biggest issues we face today, appealing to believers who want fresh
ideas for outreach and spiritual growth, and non-believers who want a
deeper meaning in life. Refraction books cross theological boundaries in
an open and honest way, through succinct and candid writing for a
contemporary, millennial-minded reader. The Reluctant Journey will be available at all online and retail book outlets. For more information on The Reluctant Journey and the Refraction book series please visit online: www.refractionbooks.com.
