To a Land I Will Show You

One of the great things about being a human being is the ability to dream a big dream and pursue it. Yet, while dreaming about the future is exciting, the actual pursuit can plunge one into confusion, despair, isolation, and times of deep discouragement when things do not turn out as one hoped.

After serving as a pastor for over a decade, the writer tells the story of how he heard God's call to walk away from pastoring and pursue the dream of earning a Ph.D. overseas that God had placed in his heart. It was not until almost two years later that breakthrough came and a door finally opened. In a series of honest and raw journal entries chronologically arranged, the author details the roller-coaster journey of confusion, faith, disappointment, hope, and anger that he and his family traversed.
