Pathways to Joy

Welcome on the journey in Pathways to Joy. You will embark on a journey that everyone will face at one time or another, and for many, it will be several times. It is called the valley of the shadow of death, as described in Psalm 23. The main focus of the valley of the shadow of death is that we go through it! We don't set up camp and make a permanent dwelling; we go through it! Difficulties are not our destiny, but it leads to our destiny.

My difficulties have brought a destiny for me to write Pathways to Joy. For far too many, the valley of the shadow of death becomes a lonely place, making it more difficult to get through. In Pathways to Joy, I share with you one of my most difficult times while prompting you to share yours. We will take this journey together.

Every person has a story to tell, and I believe it is vital to have someone to share your story with. This one-month soul-care-prompting book will guide you in steps to stay close to the Lord, keeping loneliness at bay. Following the example of Paul's letters, you are encouraged to give thanks, give praise, pray continually, confess to one another, build up your faith, and proclaim the good news. Be encouraged, my brother and sister. You are not alone. If at any time, you need someone to talk to you can reach me or a team member at pathwaystojoybook@gmail.com. Our goal is to biblically guide you through your journey and be the living example of Ecclesiastes 4:9-10: "Two are better than one... For if they fall one will lift up his companion." We are with you and for you. Be encouraged. You are going to make it! You are not alone.
